According to a report from Vanity Fair, Jones signed a right to his archived voice work, which allows Ukrainian startup Respeecher to leverage Artificial Intelligence technology and recreate its voice in Obi-Wan Disney Plus.

To do this, Respeecher used voice pieces to "vone" the actor's voice, which allowed the studio to record a new line without the presence of the actor.

Matthew Wood, editor of the supervisory voiceloy Sound, told Vanity Fair that he gave Jones the option once he "proud that he was considering reducing" his role as Darth resulting in.

After Jones gave Lucasfilm permission to use an AI-generated voice, Vanity Fair said the studio assigned Respeecher to sound like Jones' "criminal from 45 years ago" at the Obi-Wan Disney Plus.

This is why you might notice thatentirely sound very similar to what he did in previous films in Obi-Wan, in contrast to the true voice of Jones in The Rise of flow in 2019, which has grown older. Although the studio used AI forte, Wood said Jones took on the role of "good-hearted friend", and is still helping guide the picture of the criminal in the studio.

This is also not the first time Respeecher has worked with Lucasfilms. The startup also produced a voice for the younger version of Luke left on Disney Plus 'The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.

In a press release, Respeecher explained that they used clips from "radio broadcasts, interviews, ADR, and dubs in the early years" as Mark Prantal to create digitally reimaginal sound.

Other AI speech synthesis such as Voicemod, Veritone, Descript, and Resemble AI have also emerged as a potential way for celebrities and creators to digitally recreate their voices.
