As Fortnite gears up for its official Star Wars reveal later today, trusted Fortnite source @ShiinaBR on X has given fans an early look at some of the items that may be coming in the game's Star Wars-themed Battle Pass for Chapter 6, Season 3, Galactic Battle . New Star Wars POIs will be brought into the map as well which would bring new bosses, henchmen and NPCs for players to battle and interact with. Leaked Characters There are three skins that have been in the game files for some time but are yet to make an appearance in the game.
These three skins are: Darth Sidious: As the main antagonist running the Sith and establishing its foundation in both the prequels and main trilogy, it is possible Darth Sidious could enter the game as a boss in one of the new rumored POIs. Another interesting theory is that Sidious could be an unlockable skin in the new battle pass, perhaps paired with a force-lightning emote. If implemented, this would surely be one of the most visually impressive emotes in the game.
Tie Fighter Pilot: This seems like a prime candidate for an early-mid tier skin in the battle pass as it is not a specific main character. The Tie Fighter Pilot could also be an enemy in a Sith-related POI that would include a boss fight or questline. Rebel Leia Organa: Rebel Leia could be an end of pass skin as well as a main character for a questline in one of the new POIs.
If there is an Alderaan POI, Leia would make a perfect questline NPC on her home planet. Esports Impact With tonight giving us the first confirmed look at all of the Star Wars content being added to the game, we will be able to see firsthand how these changes will impact the map for this season. The addition of multiple new Star Wars POIs, the pacing and strategy of competitive play will be completely altered.
