Epic Games has faced a union complaint from SAG-AFTRA, after an AI-powered Darth Vader trained on James Earl Jones' voice was added to Fortnite last week. Epic Games is facing union action from SAG-AFTRA due to Fortnite's recent introduction of an AI-powered Darth Vader, which delivers voice lines based on archived recordings of James Earl Jones.

Hollywood’s actors’ union filed an unfair labor practice charge against Llama Productions on Monday, alleging the company replaced actors’ work by using artificial intelligence to generate Darth Vader’s voice in Fortnite without notice.

The union says Epic 'failed and refused to bargain in good faith' while replacing the work of a former member.
