If JEJ granted voice rights, then that’s peachy. Nobody owes someone else that job. Sounds like JEJ locked it down.
The idea that actors are required to be hired is kind of nonsense. Every industry has had to deal with less people required to produce the same amount of output. At this point, JEJ voice of Darth Vader IS Darth Vader. I can understand the studio wanting to retain that. Replacing voice actors is often jarring for the viewer.

They aren’t required to hire actors, but in this case they had a contractual agreement with the union to negotiate before doing this.
Also, the logical conclusion to this trend is to do away with all actors since sooner or later, AI will just be able to create characters out of thin air and then why pay anybody? I’d personally rather there be some restrictions on it.
Yeah replacing voice actors is super annoying. Everytime i rewatch atla and we get to the final season it bothers me. they had to replace iroh’s voice actor it sounds so bad and forced.

JEJ is dead, dude. His estate cut a deal with epic.
As is their right. His estate, or him personally, doesn’t matter.

I hope his estate gets kickbacks from his likeness being used.
