Didn't he push to not be credited because he felt David Prowse deserved the credit? Or something like that.

One of my favorite scenes from, "The Big Bang Theory," was when James Earl Jones and Sheldon sneak up, ring Carrie Fisher's door bell, and then run away. And then Carrie Fisher comes to the door with a baseball bat in her hands and screams, "It isn't funny anymore James."

Yowsers. Hope he got residuals. I'm sure his Empire and Return compensation was slightly higher.
