A new leak has suggested that there could be more Star Wars items coming to Fortnite in Chapter 3, Season 2. And with the Season being named Resistance, it wouldn’t be all that surprising.
There have long been hints, rumors and leaks that there’s much more Star Wars content in the pipeline for Fortnite. We’ve recently had Boba Fett, Fennec Shand and Krrsantan, and an Imperial Stormtrooper available in the Fortnite shop, while the last Star Wars event in Fortnite took place in December 2019. Back then, there was a live event in which J. J. Abrams climbed down from the beloved Millennium Falcon, to introduce a clip of the then-upcoming The Rise of Skywalker movie. We also got lightsabers as an in-game weapon, but they’ve still to be released as a cosmetic item, one which fans have been demanding for years.
With speculation that Chapter 3, Season 2 was set to be a Star Wars season kiboshed by Doctor Strange, could we at least see some Star Wars characters revealed later in the season? A series of recent leaks suggests that we might.
Fortnite x Star Wars to return in Chapter 3, Season 2: Resistance
As Star Wars fans will know, The Resistance is a well-known term in the Star Wars universe. A group of rebel fighters and other revolutionaries, the Resistance was founded by General Leia Organa to oppose the First Order.
In Fortnite, meanwhile, The Resistance is a group of Loopers, superheroes, The Seven and more. Seemingly led by a newly-introduced, strong, female character – The Imagined, the Resistance is currently embroiled in battle against the Imagined Order. So you can already see the many similarities that can be drawn between that and Fortnite’s current story, making it the perfect time to bring missing Star Wars characters and items into Fortnite lore.
Leaks suggest the Star Wars Resistance is on its way to Fortnite
OK, not just the Resistance, but it’s hard to not keep drawing that parallel. Anyway, according to Fortnite leaker Shiina, we may yet see Lightsabers added to the Fortnite shop. Sadly, though, it doesn’t look like it’ll be like the awesome customisable Harvesting Tool designed by @mrpNerf2004 to which we referenced in our Season 2 leaks article. Instead, new Item Shop strings have been discovered for Kylo Ren, Luke Skywalker, Mace Windu and Rey’s lightsabers, suggesting they’ll be separate, individual items. These are the same four characters whose lightsabers were playable weapons in the past event.
We’d have to assume that if and when these lightsabers come to the Fortnite Item Shop they won’t be alone, and that more cosmetics – hopefully including Outfits such as Luke and Leia – will become available too. We think the characters would be easy to introduce to the longer Fortnite story given Doctor Strange’s involvement as a key figure this season. His access to portals across time, space and multiverses would give him the ability to bring characters from any other universe to join the fight, including Star Wars’ own Resistance. However, this is all just conjecture at the moment, and you’ll just have to keep your fingers crossed like us.
