A new preview for The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 14, lasers in on the appearance of a very special guest star, who is not Sheldon’s father.
The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 14, will bring the nerdy comedy back to our TV screens after a two-week hiatus this Thursday night, and a new preview indicates that the episode will be a veritable explosion of geekdom. The episode, titled “The Convention Conundrum,” will focus on Sheldon’s adventures as he tries to organize his own comic book convention.
The preview for “The Convention Conundrum” gives us a hint that results will include a guest star endowed with an out-of-this-world baritone. Cue the scrolling text!
The promo for The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 14, makes no secret of the fact that the legendary actor James Earl Jones will be guest starring in “The Convention Conundrum.” (Fare thee well, oh Forth Wall!) Among many other accomplishments, Jones was the unforgettable voice behind Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy.

But according to the official synopsis, Sheldon’s path to James Earl Jones begins on the dark side.
After the guys can’t get Comic-Con tickets, Sheldon tries to hold his own convention and winds up spending a wild night with James Earl Jones. Meanwhile, the girls see if they can act like “grown-ups.”
Seriously, not being able to get tickets to Comic-Con may be worse than seeing Alderaan explode.
As was recently reported, Jones will not be the only Star Wars alumni to appear in “The Convention Conundrum.” Actress Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) is also set to appear in Thursday night’s star-studded episode.
The Big Bang Theory season 7, episode 14, “The Convention Conundrum,” will air on Thursday, Jan. 30 at 8:00 p.m. on CBS.
