Which Vader will reign supreme?

Have you ever wondered how Dart Vader would sound if he was German? Or French?
If you have, this is your lucky day.
Listen to these clips and then vote on the poll for the one you think sounds best.
English Vader
German Vader
French Vader
Spanish Vader

Personally I like the original the best. The German and French ones are okay and the Spanish one is just awful.

Nobody beats James Earl Jones's Vader. To say otherwise is BLASPHEMY!!

James Earl Jones all the way

Is it me or do the French and Spanish ones sounds vaguely like Huttese?

The French one kinda sunds somewhat Huttese, I guess. The Spanish though? Not really.

JEJ will ALWAYS be the real Vader. The rest are simply immitations.

NOBODY beats the James-man!

The French guy gave a decent effort at being menacing, so he takes second place.

The German guy... was disappointing. Knowing the villainous potential of the language, I expected better.

James Earl Jones is, of course, the winner. But the French guy comes in second for doing a very good job, then comes the Spaniard who is menacing, but looses a lot of points for not having the audible breathing in the background.. Dead last is the German, such potential considering the language and he botched it

We did this before, and I believe the consensus in the previous thread is that in the absence of JEJ the French guy was the best.

I say it goes

French- the guy sounds actually menacing.
German- The language is inherently ominous. Just needs a better actor.
Spanish- WTF. That's not Vader. That's a deep voiced Spaniard reciting the lines.

Ich Bin Din Fater!

But really, JEJ is the best of the lot.

James Earl Jones, easily; though the French one sounds pretty good. Though here's a question, which Luke do you think is the best?

Mark Hamill, definitely. He might not be as good as JEJ, but he's certainly better than his doubles. Whiney indeed.

JEJ. I'm so glad that dubbing isn't accepted in this country (Sweden)...

Lazarus · Post by **Lazarus** » 2006-04-16 03:51am

The spanish one sounds too much like Lopez from Red vs Blue to be vader, in that clip anyway.
I would have thought that the German guy could have made a better go at the evilness though, maybe its just that point in the film?

German wins for "ICH BIN DEIN VATER!" alone. I wish I had that audio track! (Region 1 only has english, spanish and french, alas).

The French Vader sounds too much like he feels sorry for his son. Luke is great in all of 'em.

Btw, I can hear the breathing just fine in the Spanish one...

I do like the German one, mostly for the "Ich bin dein Vater!" as mentioned.

He recites it a bit too much. Doesn't sound as if he believes it; it mostly lacks the intensity of JEJ. Too bad, cause I generally like German dubbing.

I think that the German one was the best, the English one was a close second and the French version was OK, but the Spanish version was awful.

Qwerty 42 · Post by **Qwerty 42** » 2006-04-16 11:04pm

you thought the German version beat out JEJ?

Fire Fly · Post by **Fire Fly** » 2006-04-16 11:27pm

1) English

2) French

3) Spanish

4) German

The French guy is how James Earl Jones would sound like if he spoke French. Very good dubbing. All the others lack the deep, echoing menace that JEJ can project.

Edit: Very good dubbing.

JEJ rules them all, followed by French > German > Spanish. I would rank the Lukes as Hamil > German > Spanish > French.
