Okay, so here we are, diving into the chaos of Fortnite or whatever number chapter and season we’re on now. Chapter 6 Season 3? “Galactic Battle,” really rolls off the tongue, eh? Or maybe not, but who cares? Anyway, the Star Wars stuff—lightsabers, Force powers, the whole shebang—has finally dropped. Took long enough, but here we are.
First up, lightsabers. Yeah, they’re finally in, and you can run around swinging them like a wannabe Jedi. Faster running, immunity to fall damage, and crazy jumps. But if you snag the Sith Lightsaber, gifted by our friend Darth, you get to throw it. Lucky you.
Oh, and don’t get me started on the outfits. First Order Stormtrooper? For free? It’s like Halloween came early or late, whichever fits. Now, let’s talk maps and POIs. They’ve got some new spots to check out. Can’t imagine them being boring, but then again, I’m easily amused.
Weapons? Big topic here. Aside from the glowing sticks of plasma, there’s a boatload of new toys to play with. Added and unvaulted stuff galore, though I’m guilty of zoning out halfway through the weapons list. Too many options, not enough brainpower.
For vehicles, we’ve got classics making a comeback. Not sure if it’s nostalgic or just recycled ideas, but I’m ready for both. Now, Force powers are the real kicker here. Want to play Jedi? Train with holograms of Star Wars characters. It’s not as easy as looting a lightsaber off someone, no sir. You need to put in some virtual sweat.
Meet Rey, grab a blue lightsaber, and unleash a Force Push. Fancy yourself a dark side enthusiast? Chat with Palpatine’s hologram, score a red lightsaber, and zap away with Force Lightning. More powers apparently coming later. Suspense, right?
Almost forgot, they’re throwing weekly events in May. Exciting? Depends on your perspective. “May the Force be with you,” they say. I say may your aim not be terrible.
