Epic Games and Disney have introduced a new feature allowing players to interact with Darth Vader in Star Wars games using voice commands. Following James Earl Jones' passing, his estate sanctioned the use of his voice via generative AI tech. Players can now recruit Vader in matches and engage with him in real-time. This initiative aims to connect fans of all ages to the iconic character, reassuring privacy concerns as player interactions are not stored.
"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.â¦"
"Behind the scenes, Epic Games says players' voice input is securely transmitted to Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash model, which generates Vader's AI-driven response.â¦"
