Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is the biggest Star Wars-themed event in Fortnite history, with the Galactic Battle themed season bringing a new storyline and POIs to the Island This year's Star Wars season, Fortnite: Galactic Battle, marks the most significant collaboration between Epic Games and Disney to date. Star Wars and Fortnite have joined forces for numerous crossovers since the battle royale game's inception. However, Chapter 6 Season 3 is the first time Epic Games has fully embraced the partnership with a dedicated Star Wars-themed season. That being say, it runs shorter than the usual three months, with a condensed Battle Pass as well, offering just 50 tiers for players to grind through. ‌ Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 began with Emperor Palpatine arriving on the Island in the Death Star, accompanied by his fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers. The Star Wars narrative for this season has been unfolding over five weeks in a five-part saga, and will culminate in a Fortnite live event on the final weekend. ‌ The Island has also undergone a Galactic Battle-themed transformation, introducing new Points of Interest such as the First Order Base, Outpost Enclave, and Resistance Base.
