Darth Vader Voice

As a kid who grew up on Star Wars movies, I love Darth Vader's deep, resonant voice, as well as its great performance by James Earl Jones. But when it comes to seducing people to the dark side (seducing is the key word here), I think it might have gotten a better result for the Sith had Darth Vader been voiced by Barry White. His seductive, dulcet tones have worked wonders on humans in our solar system for decades, so I can only imagine the Empire would encounter little resistance with a Barry White-voiced Darth Vader, especially if he used the sensual speaking tones he uses to introduce some of his better-known songs.

Here's what I mean (Imagine Darth Vader talking like these intros and then singing these songs to those he intends to seduce to the dark side):

I mean, who could resist a guy with that voice?
