Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 heads to a galaxy far, far away.
The leaks regarding Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 are in, and the game will soon head to a galaxy far, far away. Several sources have confirmed that the next Fortnite season will feature a Star Wars backdrop with a Battle Pass, map, and weapons to match. This is a historic moment as Disney continues to influence the popular game.
Here is everything we know about the upcoming Star Wars-themed Fortnite season.
Star Wars will take over Fortnite in Chapter 6 Season 3
Reliable Fortnite leaker FNBRintel was the first to confirm the recent rumors that Chapter 6 Season 3 would feature a Star Wars collaboration. While the Fortnite x Star Wars crossover dates back several years, this is the first time the IP has completely invaded an entire season.
In their report, FNBRintel states that the Chapter 6 Season 3 will include new Star Wars-inspired points of interest (POIs), Mythic items, boss characters, and Skins. They also added that the ongoing Fortnite storyline would somehow justify this collaboration.
Here's a breakdown of what you can expect per Wensoing:
- Begins on May 2
- The season will last between 30 and 35 days
- Four to five Star Wars Battle Pass Skins
- At least three changed locations with three bosses
- Five new Henchmen skins
- Six new NPCs
- Return of previous Star Wars items/cosmetics
While the particulars are unclear, it's worth speculating what the Fortnite x Star Wars season could feature beyond these surface-level details.

What Star Wars Skins are even left? Will there finally be a Lightsaber Pickaxe?
The list of potential Skins in the Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration is minimal. Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Kylo Ren are just a few of the heavy hitters already available.
Since the report speculates four to five Star Wars Battle Pass Skins, we could see Palpatine, C-3PO, and maybe even Jar Jar Binks for the memes. Ultimately, we'll have to wait and see how creative Epic Games and Disney get with Chapter 6 Season 3.
Lastly, we must address the age-old question of whether an actual Lightsaber Pickaxe will come to Fortnite. Fans have been waiting for this cosmetic since the first Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration. If it doesn't happen in Season 3, it's safe to say it will never happen.
