Fortnite now allows players to speak to the Darth Vader NPC, and you can even hire him on your team, but sadly there's a twist.

Fortnite players can channel their inner dark side as James Earl Jones ‘ Darth Vader returns to the game. Players will be able to recruit the Sith Lord and be able to talk to him, he will respond with the help of AI. Epic Games and Disney have brought Jones back with the permission of his family.

When Fortnite players meet Darth Vader in the game’s ongoing Star Wars event, they will be able to speak with the Sith Lord directly, and he’s going to respond with a voice that sounds exactly like James Earl Jones.
