Chapter 3, Season 3 of Fortnite will be heavily influenced by Star Wars

Fortnite will see Star Wars return to the game

A Fortnite Twitter account revealed that Darth Vader will be joining Fortnite in Chapter 3,  Season 3, but that doesn’t appear to be the only thing coming. Fortnite News also reported on this, saying that several files were discovered that hinted at Vader joining the game. Yet, it appears as though Vader isn’t the only thing from Star Wars entering the fray.

The game will also see four lightsabers be added as well around this time. Fortnite News also points out that a key person involved in this is also hinting at the ATATs, C-3PO, and Chewbacca being involved as well.

That’s not all, as Star Wars is set to release Kenobi, the new Disney+ show about Obi-Wan Kenobi, and you better believe that a crossover with that series is in the works as well.

Star Wars’ Obi-Wan Kenobi series may release at the perfect time

The upcoming Disney+ show featuring Ewen McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader is set to debut one week before Chapter 3, Season 3 begins. With Darth Vader for sure in Fortnite, as well as the return of the lightsabers (and the fact The Seven’s hideouts look just like buildings from the Star Wars universe), it’s very fair to say that Season 3 will have a lot of Star Wars in it; if not entirely themed.

It may not be completely themed, as there are rumors that they’ll be joined by a Harrison Ford character in Chapter 3. No not Han Solo, Indiana Jones.

This all makes sense. The new series debuts in May, a prominent month for Star Wars fans. Star Wars and Indiana Jones are both created by George Lucas, and Ford’s character of Indiana Jones is expected to be in this season as well.

The idea that this is a more George Lucas-focused season works as well.
