- Darth Jar Jar Binks
- Mace Windu
- Captain Phasma
- Customizable Mandalorian Armor
- Jango Fett (speculated)
- Cassian Andor (speculated)
New Vehicles and Weapons
The season might introduce several Star Wars weapons and vehicles to change up the gameplay, such as:
- X-Wings – The Rebel Alliance starfighters.
- TIE Fighters – Imperial starfighters to battle the X-Wings.
- Lightsabers – Making a return, but with a twist: rumors suggest they may finally be available as permanent pickaxes, something the community has requested for years.
Moreover, the Fortnite island is getting some serious Star Wars makeovers with at least four new POIs based on iconic locations.
What Makes This Season Special
Star Wars collaborations aren’t new to Fortnite, but this marks the first time an entire season has been dedicated to the game. Previously, Fortnite has featured Star Wars content in limited-time events and has released skins for Star Wars characters like:
- The Mandalorian
- Darth Vader
- Obi-Wan Kenobi
- Luke Skywalker
- Han Solo
- Leia Organa
- Ahsoka Tano
- Boba Fett
This full-season approach is similar to what Epic Games did with their Marvel-themed season in Chapter 2, which was very popular. Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Star Wars Galactic Battle appears to be even more detailed in its integration.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Length and Schedule
According to reports, Chapter 6 Season 3 will be a shortened season compared to others, though exact end dates haven’t been confirmed. The season begins around May 2nd or May 3rd, 2025, and is possibly shorter than the typical 10 to 12 weeks duration.
Is the Star Wars Galactic Battle Pass Worth Getting?
Initial reaction to the Battle Pass reveal has been mostly positive, with particular excitement around General Grievous finally making it into the game and the possibility of lightsaber pickaxes. If you are a Star Wars fan, this season’s Battle Pass gives you excellent value with three major film characters included.
For those planning to purchase the additional Item Shop skins, you might want to budget accordingly, as there could be at least 5 to 6 Star Wards characters arriving during the season. With Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle Pass launching next week, the Force will soon be with Fortnite players everywhere. Are you going to fight for the light side or the dark side?
