So... Wait... Does that mean Harrison didn't take the job because he thought nobody would be as good as him? 🤔

I think the joke is more that Ford is worried about job security because Baker's performance was that good.

He actually did. I can barely tell it's not Ford doing the voice acting.

I absolutely wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t known.

SkillUp alleged that apparently the devs giving Troy Baker VA direction told him to sound a little less like Ford, potentially for copyright reasons.

Who's Troy Baker? Was he one of the Doctor Whos?

Zahille7@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 1y (1 reply)

You've most likely heard him in just about every game from 2009-2014

Troy Baker got Travis Willingham to pass on the gig and then ended up taking the gig himself. 😂

Probably did a better job than Harrison could have. He's old and tired

Scott Hamill had no career to speak of after Star Wars, which probably explains his voice acting proclivity. Ford had no such problems.

Edit: derp. Mark Hamill.
