Hoping the rumors/speculation about Indira Varma's role are true...

Could be interesting. This and Acolyte probably most appealing.

I wonder if we will ever know it is him. And will they get James Earl Jones to do his voice? What will Lucasfilm do when JEJ finally passes on? (Did he do Vader’s voice in Rebels? I can’t remember.)

They will do the same thing that companies always do; hire a talented actor who can approximate the voice.

Did Disney stop using Mickey Mouse when Walt Disney passed away (and/or was too busy to do the voice)?
Do we no longer see Bugs Bunny since Mel Blanc passed away (not to mention the other characters)?
When Hugo Weaving didn't return for Avengers: Endgame, did that stop the all-powerful Disney from using a voice-a-like?

If nothing keeps companies from replacing major characters onscreen (Dumbledore, Rachel Dawes, too many to name), nothing will stop Disney. Because the inevitable rule in life is ... Cash Rules Everything Around Me ... Dollar Dollar Bill Y'all.

Yes he did. But I thought he sounded too old.

And, honestly, even if there wasn't servitude to the Almighty Dollar... why shouldn't they continue with a new actor? Saying that you can't replace an actor is like saying... nobody can ever do another staging of a Shakespeare play.

James Bond, Batman, Superman, Macbeth -- characters get recast, especially as previous actors age out of the roles. This isn't a problem.

They replaced James Bond??!!??

You know what? That explains a lot, really. Maybe I don't need glasses!

@Maxperson

Here's some trivia! Did you know that THE JAMES BOND once starred opposite of the real Highlander, Juan Sanchez-Villabos Ramiriez?

Here's a photo!

Maybe they're supposed to serve as a counterpoint with Obi-Wan dealing with his situation and then we discover what Darth Vader is doing during the same period?
With the events of the series crossing over in unusual ways but NOT with them meeting each other properly before episode 4!
