Not one but two Star Wars AI controversies within a week? First Lucasfilm itself was touting some objectively terrible AI video generation in Star Wars Field Report as the future of VFX. Now Fortnite's being criticised over its AI-voiced Darth Vadar.

Epic Games introduced an AI-powered Darth Vader using a clone of the actor's iconic voice, which immediately stirred up a hornet's nest.

Mere hours after the debut of AI Darth Vader in Fortnite, the character began spewing racial slurs and making real-world threats against players, sparking immediate backlash and concern.

Fortnite's crossover connection with Star Wars was presented with an AI Darth Vader voiced by James Earl Jones as a part of the Galactic Battle season. The guild of SAG-AFTRA has filed an unfair labor complaint against Epic Games claiming that AI voice technology threatens the work of voice actors.

Fortnite's use of an A.I. Vader could have major repercussions not only on Star Wars, but the entertainment industry as a whole.
