Fortnite' players will be able to chat with Darth Vader, in a move made in "close consultation" with Jones' family.

Beloved actor James Earl Jones died less than a year ago, but in a world with access to (or a flood of) AI generation, his characters don’t have to stay dead. Fortnite announced on its news site this morning that players will now be able to have conversations with Darth Vader “[w]ith your voice.

Hollywood icons might never really die, thanks to AI. Fortnite's Darth Vader also uses James Earl Jones' voice, wielding conversational abilities some might consider to be unnatural.
