Fortnite is consistently updating the merchandise store with new collabs from many fan-favorite collection. Each time Might 4th comes round, gamers sometimes anticipate 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 Might 2nd, which means we’ll have the ability to discover out quickly sufficient if the leaks are true. Within the meantime, it’s onerous not to consider the entire potentialities for who might 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 selection to hitch him within the recreation. In addition to being probably the most beloved characters throughout the Star Wars group, let’s not overlook Ahsoka Tano is getting her personal present in August on Disney+. With that in thoughts, there might 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 exhibits and finally became a fan-favorite Star Wars villain. With Anakin and Obi-Wan already within the recreation, I’m simply ready for Maul so I can lastly recreate their basic battle in The Phantom Menace with my buddies in Inventive mode (at the very least, till Qui-Gon will get his due).
Darth Maul might even have two completely different types, letting gamers alter between his basic look from the films and the one with cybernetic legs from his return in The Clone Wars collection. His Scimitar starship might make an awesome 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 prefer 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 complete squad.
One non-compulsory model for him might embrace his lengthy black cape that he wore in Revenge of the Sith and the animated exhibits. His starship, the Soulless One, can be a classy 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 widespread settlement amongst followers that Mace Windu is among the greatest Jedi masters from the final years of the Republic Period.
Regardless that he was poorly developed within the films, Mace Windu had his best moments within the canonic Star Wars exhibits and comics. His presence can already be felt in Fortnite if 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 a part of him later, comparable to Package Fisto and Shaak Ti.
Padme Amidala
From princess clothes to fight clothes, Padme has many memorable appears to be like all through the films and exhibits she seems in, so there are a great deal of non-compulsory types that might be a chance for her. Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi are already within the recreation, 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 pink princess garbs, they’d have to incorporate her white outfit with the big cloak as her major model. She might even have her generally used blaster pistol geared up as her again bling.
Cal Kestis
I wouldn’t be shocked if Cal Kestis involves Fortnite subsequent week as a part of a collab to advertise EA’s brand-new recreation 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 recreation might hold followers entertained for a while whereas they watch for his debut in a live-action Star Wars challenge.
With Jedi: Survivor giving gamers numerous choices to customise Cal Kestis’ look, it will be neat to have a complete set of variations at your disposal, like completely different hairstyles, clothes, and possibly even completely different types for a BD-1 again bling. Okay, possibly I’m asking for an excessive amount of, I’d be happy sufficient together with his base outfits from JFO and JS.
C-3PO
C-3PO is my favourite Star Wars droid and I can’t watch for him to come back to Fortnite, particularly as a result of we already obtained his associate 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 might be a pleasant further model for him and I’d completely adore it if Babu Frik got here as his again bling! He’s additionally a personality identified 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 good friend. With one other Wookiee — Krrsantan from The Ebook of Boba Fett — already out there within the recreation, 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 an entire 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 price shopping for.
Lando Calrissian
It’s unlikely to see Lando coming alongside Anakin since Fortnite often 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 to be like — Lando places on many outfits all through completely different phases of the franchise that will probably be onerous for Fortnite builders to select the most effective one.
Hopefully, we’ll see multiple, like they did with Han Solo and Luke, however the query is: which of them? In addition to 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 positively want extra Star Wars antagonists in Fortnite. In addition to Darth Vader, we solely have Kylo Ren and a few Troopers on the evil aspect, making it needed 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 awesome addition as a Mythic weapon as effectively. For his extra types, we might have his prequel look as Emperor Palpatine and possibly 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 hitch Anakin, it’s definitely gotta be Sidious.
