> James Earl Jones, who voiced Darth Vader, has basically signed off on having his voice recreated by AI so Lucasfilm and Disney can keep flogging his Star Wars character even at the age of 91 and long after he has shuffled off this mortal coil.

This is fine. As long as there's legal protections which let him dictate how his likeness will be used, and his estate can hold the studios accountable to it.

The studios of course, don't want to have to get this kind of permission, and that's the rub.
