Fortnite's Galactic Battle event, featuring a collaboration with Star Wars, allows players to engage with Darth Vader through an AI voice. Originally available to players, Vader now resides in a new location and can join players after a duel. While players can prompt Vader to say various phrases, there are restrictions on certain sensitive topics. The family of James Earl Jones has expressed support for this collaboration, hoping it connects fans across generations with the iconic character of Darth Vader.
"James Earl felt that the voice of Darth Vader was inseparable from the story of Star Wars, and he always wanted fans of all ages to continue to experience it."
"Players can challenge him to a duel, and if they are victorious, Vader will join them for the remainder of the match -- and speak with them throughout by pressing the specific prompt."
"The family of James Earl Jones provided a statement regarding the event on the official Fortnite blog, expressing their hopes for fans and generations to enjoy the character."
"While players can use an in-game prompt to hear Vader speak any phrase, limitations do exist, with topics like violence, politics, and religion reportedly off the table."
