In a move to diss EA Games, players mod Pink Darth Vader into Battlefront 2. This is in response to EA CFO Blake Jorgensen's stupid excuse as to why microtransactions in the game are not purely cosmetic. He stated:
"The one thing we're very focused on and they're extremely focused on is not violating the canon of Star Wars. It's an amazing brand that's been built over many, many years. So if you did a bunch of cosmetic things, you might start to violate the canon. Darth Vader in white probably doesn't make sense, versus in black. Not to mention you probably don't want Darth Vader in pink. No offense to pink, but I don't think that's right in the canon."
This excuse was quickly debunked when data miners found a hidden customization feature in the game that was not yet released. This revealed several non-canon skins. Sadly, however, Pink Vader was not included.
That didn't stop players from creating their own mod that allowed others to play as Pink Vader

Jorgensen should have known better than to challenge gamers.
Behold Pink Vader in all his fabulous glory:
