Fortnite is consistently updating the merchandise store with new collabs from many fan-favorite collection. Each time Could 4th comes round, gamers usually count on new Star Wars-themed skins and the limited-time occasion that brings again lightsabers. One of many newest Star Wars skins to hit the store is Anakin Skywalker, however leakers have already hinted a few second secret character coming with the Jedi knight to the Merchandise Store.
Anakin’s dropping on Could 2nd, that means we’ll be capable of discover out quickly sufficient if the leaks are true. Within the meantime, it’s onerous not to consider all the potentialities for who may very well be becoming a member of Fortnite together with him. So, listed here are the 10 Star Wars characters followers can’t wait to see in Fortnite.
Ahsoka Tano
Anakin’s ex-padawan can be the right alternative to affix him within the sport. Moreover being probably the most beloved characters inside the Star Wars group, let’s not overlook Ahsoka Tano is getting her personal present in August on Disney+. With that in thoughts, there may very well be two types for her, one for the younger padawan we met in The Clone Wars animated collection, and her grownup model seen in The Mandalorian, portrayed by Rosario Dawson.
One factor that Ahsoka might change that followers have been dying for is to lastly carry lightsabers as pickaxes, contemplating now they will solely be used as particular weapons in limited-time occasions. I do know, that is most unlikely to occur since they’ve added full cosmetics units earlier than, like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, with out their basic lightsabers. However c’mon, Ahsoka’s twin white lightsabers can be an on the spot purchase!
Darth Maul
Launched because the apprentice of Darth Sidious within the prequel trilogy, Darth Maul turned much more liked for his appearances within the animated reveals and ultimately changed into a fan-favorite Star Wars villain. With Anakin and Obi-Wan already within the sport, I’m simply ready for Maul so I can lastly recreate their basic struggle in The Phantom Menace with my mates in Inventive mode (at the least, till Qui-Gon will get his due).
Darth Maul might even have two totally different types, letting gamers alter between his basic look from the flicks and the one with cybernetic legs from his return in The Clone Wars collection. His Scimitar starship might make an excellent glider too.
Basic Grievous
Talking of prequel villains, Basic Grievous definitely stands out as one with the most effective designs in the entire franchise, which might little question would make a really interesting pores and skin so as to add to your locker. I additionally wish to think about Grievous as a possible boss on the map throughout a Star Wars-themed occasion. Consider it, in addition to the problem of defeating a cyborg with 4 arms, by the top of the battle he might grant Mythic lightsabers to your entire squad.
One non-compulsory model for him might embody his lengthy black cape that he wore in Revenge of the Sith and the animated reveals. His starship, the Soulless One, can be a trendy glider. Simply don’t ask me how Basic Grievous’ hitbox would work as a playable character, although…
Mace Windu
It’s a shock Samuel L. Jackson hasn’t already come to Fortnite in some type; he’s performed a number of iconic characters together with Nick Fury within the MCU. Mace Windu can be the right alternative for him to lastly be on the island. It’s by frequent settlement amongst followers that Mace Windu is likely one of the greatest Jedi masters from the final years of the Republic Period.
Regardless that he was poorly developed within the motion pictures, Mace Windu had his most interesting moments within the canonic Star Wars reveals and comics. His presence can already be felt in Fortnite while you seize a purple lightsaber on the map — sure, he was the one Jedi to ever wield a purple lightsaber. Additionally, Mace Windu’s addition might imply extra characters from the Jedi Excessive Council would possibly be part of him later, similar to Equipment Fisto and Shaak Ti.
Padme Amidala
From princess attire to fight clothes, Padme has many memorable appears all through the flicks and reveals she seems in, so there are a great deal of non-compulsory types that may very well be a chance for her. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi are already within the sport, and contemplating Padme principally accomplished their trio — which made them just like the prequel equal to Luke, Leia, and Han Solo, it will be a shame to not add Padme to the sport.
Apart from her otherworldly crimson princess garbs, they’d have to incorporate her white outfit with the big cloak as her fundamental model. She might even have her generally used blaster pistol outfitted as her again bling.
Cal Kestis
I wouldn’t be stunned if Cal Kestis involves Fortnite subsequent week as a part of a collab to advertise EA’s brand-new sport like we’ve seen with Leon Kennedy when the Resident Evil 4 remake got here out. Having the star of Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor in one other journey sport might hold followers entertained for a while whereas they await his debut in a live-action Star Wars undertaking.
With Jedi: Survivor giving gamers a number of choices to customise Cal Kestis’ look, it will be neat to have an entire set of variations at your disposal, like totally different hairstyles, clothes, and perhaps even totally different types for a BD-1 again bling. Okay, perhaps I’m asking for an excessive amount of, I’d be happy sufficient along with his base outfits from JFO and JS.
C-3PO
C-3PO is my favourite Star Wars droid and I can’t await him to return to Fortnite, particularly as a result of we already obtained his companion R2-D2 as a part of Leia’s set within the Merchandise Store. And let’s be sincere, it will be hilarious to see C-3PO carrying a shotgun or dancing to Bruno Mars songs.
A red-arm C-3PO from the sequel trilogy may very well be a pleasant additional model for him and I might completely find it irresistible if Babu Frik got here as his again bling! He’s additionally a personality recognized for his clunky robotic actions, so it will be superior if he got here with an emote of his personal.
Chewbacca
One other basic Star Wars duo that’s lacking in Fortnite is Han Solo and Chewbacca. The captain of the Millennium Falcon landed in Fortnite final November together with Luke and Leia however with no point out of his furry pal. With one other Wookiee — Krrsantan from The E book of Boba Fett — already accessible within the sport, followers have been questioning why Chewie hasn’t appeared within the Merchandise Store but.
Let’s hope it’s only a matter of time till we’re in a position to buy his pores and skin and might lastly have a whole squad sporting matching outfits. Since Han Solo launched with the Millennium Falcon as his again bling, I feel some reactive Porgs connected to Chewie might make him value shopping for.
Lando Calrissian
It’s unlikely to see Lando coming alongside Anakin since Fortnite normally releases matching outfits collectively, however hopefully, the chief of Cloud Metropolis will come to the sport quickly sufficient. I’m largely enthusiastic about his eccentric appears — Lando places on many outfits all through totally different phases of the franchise that will probably be onerous for Fortnite builders to select the most effective one.
Hopefully, we are going to see multiple, like they did with Han Solo and Luke, however the query is: which of them? Moreover the basic blue match with the yellow cape, I feel the outfit Lando used within the battle of Endor and the yellow gear Donald Glover wore in Solo are important for the character.
Darth Sidious
We undoubtedly want extra Star Wars antagonists in Fortnite. Moreover Darth Vader, we solely have Kylo Ren and a few Troopers on the evil facet, making it mandatory for them to incorporate somebody as highly effective and intimidating as Darth Sidious.
Together with the lightsabers as flooring loot, they may additionally carry the hooded Sith that turned Anakin evil, not simply as a pores and skin, but in addition as a boss on the map. His electrical powers would make an excellent addition as a Mythic weapon as properly. For his further types, we might have his prequel look as Emperor Palpatine and perhaps a holographic model of Darth Sidious to match the Scanline weapon wrap. He was an enormous affect on Darth Vader, so if there’s anybody placing sufficient to affix Anakin, it’s definitely gotta be Sidious.
