What We Know So Far About the Star Wars: Starfighter Movie
A new Star Wars movie is coming, and with it a trip to a galaxy far, far away set in a new time period. Star Wars: Starfighter is scheduled for a May 2027 release, starring Ryan Gosling (yes, Ken from the Barbie movie) as a brand-new character. We don't know much about his role or the film yet, though director Shawn Levy revealed a bit last month during the Star Wars Celebration fan event in Japan. "The movie is a new adventure. It's new characters," Levy said. "It takes place in a new period of time after the battle of Exegol, after Episode 9." Episode 9 refers to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which came out in 2019, and the planet Exegol was the site of a battle during the war between the First Order and the Resistance. No one was surprised to see plans for a new Star Wars movie, given how the franchise has drastically expanded since Disney bought the franchise's parent company, Lucasfilm, in 2012. Fans are ready for a standalone Star Wars film The new film has excited superfans like Jimmy "Mac" McInerney, host and producer of the Rebel Force Radio: Star Wars Podcast. "Superfans like me will be there for anything Star Wars, but I really hope Levy and Gosling will pack the appropriate punch to excite the masses," McInerney told CNET. "I'm also very optimistic that this will be a standalone story with a solid beginning, middle and end." The movie will be set about five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and it won't follow any of the main plot lines from past films. So it's not a prequel or a sequel, it's a new adventure. Mclnerney thinks the standalone nature of Star Wars: Starfighter might be a good thing. "Sometimes Star Wars gets crushed under the weight of its existing lore, so it's nice to know this will be a self-contained adventure," he said. "This could provide fandom with a nice palate cleanser following the divisive sequel trilogy and propel the franchise into the future." For now, you can find all the Star Wars content your heart desires on the streaming service Disney Plus.

Disney+ Now Lets You Digitally ‘Visit' Galaxy's Edge
Skip the lines and even take a spin around Rise of the Resistance in the streamer's pair of new POV journeys. Now you can say 'We have Star Wars land at home' as a new walkthrough has dropped on Disney+ of Galaxy's Edge complete with one ride POV experience for Star Wars fans. All that's missing are stops at the shops like Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities, where we have lately been short credits to buy some legacy lightsabers. Exploring the Black Spire Outpost without it being packed with tourists is so different than most of the videos online. What makes it so delightfully zen is that the video of the Batuu POV goes on with its soundscapes and evening lighting. And there's of course some encounters with characters along the way. You'll find Rey and Chewie by the Millennium Falcon encouraging you to to stand against Kylo Ren and the First Order which sets up the video's final note of evil Ben Solo encouraging you to 'turn against the light.' Also featured in the video are the Mandalorian and Grogu, driving the point that there is no longer a fixed timeline at Galaxy's Edge and you never know who you'll meet along the way. Also added onto Disney Plus is a full POV of Rise of the Resistance, the E-ticket attraction at Galaxy's Edge. And yes Oscar Issac's Poe Dameron makes an appearance to call you a 'fine looking' recruit, and since you're the only one in the room you know he means it. The details of the queue are passed over a little quickly but you get to see more of the resistance base details here than you do on the ride. It's fun and once you hop onto the ride vehicle it's great to be in the action and ride along. Pull up a rolling office chair and you can add some 4D thrills at home. Check out the preview of it below and watch the full versions on Disney+ this Revenge of the Fifth (of May).

The 75 best 'Star Wars' characters, definitively ranked for Star Wars Day
The 75 best 'Star Wars' characters, definitively ranked for Star Wars Day Show Caption Hide Caption Here's why Diego Luna feels 'Andor' is so relevant today 'Andor' star Diego Luna tells USA TODAY's Brian Truitt why he feels this series is so relevant today. Love movies? Live for TV? USA TODAY's Watch Party newsletter has all the best recommendations, delivered right to your inbox. Sign up now and be one of the cool kids. Over the course of nearly 50 years, the "Star Wars" galaxy has spawned 11 movies, seven live-action TV shows and endless characters, be they Jedi or Sith, Rebels or Imperials, twisted bounty hunters or adorable porgs. In honor of Star Wars Day and the 20th anniversary of "Revenge of the Sith" (released May 19, 2005), we're ranking the 75 best live-action characters in "Star Wars" history, from the original heroes of 1977 to the fresh faces of Disney+ shows like "Andor" and "The Mandalorian." Some personalities, though, just will never make the cut – sorry, Jar Jar. Here's our rundown, from the good to the very, very bad: 75. Admiral Motti Some Imperial officers like Admiral Ozzel get Force-choked by Darth Vader and die. Motti actually survived such a deadly encounter (before eventually perishing in the explosion of the Death Star), and for that he makes this illustrious list. 74. Captain Phasma The First Order's supreme female Stormtrooper had a super-neat suit of armor and so much wasted potential, being thrown into a trash compactor in "Force Awakens" and falling to her apparent death in "Last Jedi." 73. Carson Teva Other than Luke Skywalker and Poe Dameron, we haven't gotten to know many X-wing pilots but Teva, a buddy of the Mando, is the kind of dude you have a beer with at a New Republic watering hole or ask to cut some bureaucratic red tape. 72. Supreme Leader Snoke He led the nefarious First Order for two movies in the new trilogy and ... well, that's pretty much all we ever knew. Snoke's on here solely because of the couple of years he gave "Star Wars" fans fits online theorizing about his origins and for taking a supremely nasty lightsaber slice like a champ. 71. Cobb Vanth The old-fashioned cowboy wore Boba Fett's armor and weapons as the marshal of Mos Pelgo on Tatooine and was an loyal ally of the Mando – until Cad Bane gunned him down in cold blood. 70. R5-D4 The droid has low-key been with us the whole time. R5 was in the first film when Luke Skywalker's uncle buys R2-D2 and C-3PO from some Jawas on Tatooine and decades later is around to help the Mando and Grogu whenever they're in a pickle. Where's his Disney+ spinoff, guys? 69. Sy Snootles The intergalactic version of Stevie Nicks (but kind of better, honestly), Sy belted all the hits as lead singer and dancer of the Max Rebo Band. And it takes some serious talent to keep Jabba the Hutt from throwing you to the Rancor. 68. Oma Tres While his name isn't Luke, Han or Leia, he's still a GOAT: Legendary "Star Wars" composer John Williams had a quick cameo as the one-eyed Kijimi City bartender in "The Rise of Skywalker." 67. The porg on the Millennium Falcon It takes a brave soul to fly into battle as the unofficial mascot of a famous starship after its furry pilot – in this case, Chewbacca – tried to roast you for dinner. 66. Black Krrsantan Unlike Chewbacca, this Wookiee warrior would have downed that porg raw. Krrsantan first made his appearance in comic books and then made his presence felt in "The Book of Boba Fett," first as a bounty hunter working for Jabba's cousins and then alongside the Mando as muscle for Fett's crew. 65. Jod Na Nawood Shiver me timbers: A galactic pirate who can use the Force! Jod (aka Crimson Jack, aka Captain Silvo) is a treasure-hunting rogue with a mysterious backstory and a way of ticking off everyone. That said, the dude would be a lot cooler if he didn't get taken down by a bunch of space kids. 64. Bail Organa Listen, politicians may not have the best reputation in the Milky Way, but in the galaxy far, far away, the senator from Alderaan not only took in Baby Leia and kept her hidden from the Empire but was also integral in the formation of the Rebel Alliance. He's got our vote. 63. Qi'ra Before Han Solo hooked up with Princess Leia, Qi'ra was his childhood sweetheart on Corellia. They went their separate ways but both ended up in their own corners of the underworld, with Qi'ra choosing the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate over her love. It's OK, Chewie turned out to be a better bestie in the long run. 62. Babu Frik "Rise of Skywalker" didn't give us many highlights yet at least we got this little droidsmith out of the deal. Cute, feisty and adorably unintelligible, Babu snagged some Sith secrets out of C-3PO's memory banks and stole our heart in the process. 61. Galen Erso Sort of the J. Robert Oppenheimer of the "Star Wars" universe, the scientist hatched the technology that was used to power the Death Star's uber-destructive laser, was betrayed by friends and lost his family, but – knowing its violent capability – purposely built a weakness in the deadly space station. 60. Max Rebo Jabba the Hutt's house band leader is what happens when you combine Paul Shaffer, Dumbo and Blue Man Group. 59. Greef Karga He's the kind of politician you'd want in a firefight. He had his run-ins with the Mando as leader of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, became a key fighter against the Imperial Remnant, and took on the role of Head Magistrate of the planet Navarro, always going to bat for his people. 58. Peli Motto Tatooine's quirkiest space mechanic is also its coolest, with a bunch of jittery repair droids and tons of warm personality. When the Mando's Razor Crest went boom, she outfitted him with a sweet and super-speedy N-1 Starfighter and is always down to babysit her favorite boy, Grogu. 57. Luthen Rael By day, he runs a high-end antiques shop and deals with wealthy power players on Coruscant in a bad wig in "Andor." But on the side, Luthen recruits folks like Cassian Andor as key cog in a spy network and works against the Empire in a growing rebellion. 56. Nien Nunb The Sullustan pilot doesn't say a whole lot yet he co-starred in several important "Star Wars" moments: He rolled with Lando Calrissian in the Millennium Falcon when the Rebellion blew up the second Death Star, flew an X-wing in the assault on Starkiller Base and was part of the ragtag crew that took on an overwhelming First Order force during the Battle of Crait. 55. Reva Sevander/Third Sister A former Jedi youngling when the Empire came to power, Reva eventually joined the Dark Side of the Force as one of Darth Vader's vicious inquisitors. She harbored a mean streak when it came to Obi-Wan Kenobi yet refused to kill kid Luke Skywalker, showing there was still some light in her. 54. Jek Porkins He died as a hero during the Battle of Yavin. More importantly, he was a role model for dudes with dad bods who wanted to squeeze into the cockpit of an X-wing. 53. L3-37 The clever droid had equal parts strength and sass as confidante and co-pilot for Lando Calrissian during his gambling days and was also all about robot rights, even sparking the occasional mechanical revolution. Although her body was fatally damaged, she lives on in the circuits of the navigational computer aboard the Millennium Falcon. 52. Director Orson Krennic Anybody in middle management can relate to this Imperial officer who's saddled with getting a big project up and running (in his case, the first Death Star), forced to deal with uncaring bosses and winds up having some rebellious types screw the whole thing up. 51. Salacious B. Crumb In some galactic circles, Kowakian monkey-lizards are sold as street meat. Salacious avoided being cooked on a spit, and as Jabba the Hutt's resident court jester, got a front-row seat to laugh mockingly at those who crossed his boss. 50. Migs Mayfeld A former Imperial sniper turned mercenary, Migs is usually getting into trouble and palling around with criminals. The guy's got an honorable side, though, and helped the Mando take down an Imperial refinery – plus gave an old commanding officer a piece of his mind, to boot. 49. Count Dooku Christopher Lee with an awesome cape and a lightsaber. How do you not love that combination? 48. Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo The Resistance leader with the purple hair was hard to read: She went way back with Leia, but didn't appreciate Poe Dameron's trigger-happy attitude. But she made the ultimate sacrifice for her fellow rebels in a strategic ploy against the First Order forever after named the "Holdo Manuever." 47. Syril Karn "Andor" gave fans something they hadn't seen in a while: a complex yet weaselly guy you love to hate. Syril is a cockroach of a civil servant in the Empire, desperately trying to move his way up the ranks, though he's been a little more relatable since getting himself an Imperial girlfriend. 46. Greedo Forever famous for being an integral part of the decades-old "Did Han Solo shoot first?" debate. Sadly for this shady green dude, he ends up facedown and dead no matter how many times they edit the original "Star Wars" film. 45. Wedge Antilles The Tom Cruise of the Rebel Alliance. The X-wing flyboy was a top gun taking on AT-ATs in the Battle of Hoth and being an integral member of Red Squadron during the attacks on both Death Stars. 44. Cad Bane Don't let the space fedora fool you. The ruthless gun-for-hire was a deadly shot with a blaster and as nasty an hombre as they come. A final showdown with his old pal Boba Fett didn't go his way, though. 43. Mon Mothma The Rebels' primary mover and shaker behind the scenes, she first opposed the evil Palpatine in the Galactic Republic – putting her personal and professional lives in jeopardy – and then was integral in the growing resistance against the Empire. 42. Darth Maul The Sith apprentice never got much to do in "The Phantom Menace" before getting sliced in half, falling down a shaft and being left for dead. (Spoiler alert: He got better.) Still, from his horns and tattoos to the double-bladed lightsaber, Maul's bad-guy chic was hard to beat. 41. Wicket W. Warrick Arguably the cutest Ewok, Wicket became the unofficial furry mascot of the Rebel Alliance and also has a cooler name than his buds Paploo, Logray and Chief Chirpa. 40. Qui-Gon Jinn Liam Neeson's wise Jedi master was the first one to figure out that Anakin Skywalker was something special. It's probably for the best he didn't see the very dark turn the kid would take. 39. Fennec Shand Equal parts major domo, bodyguard and partner, she's a former bounty hunter and loyal right hand for Boba Fett who plays bad cop to his good cop extraordinarily well. Fennec is the strong and silent type but can be counted on for the occasional deadpan zinger. 38. General Hux The embattled First Order military man was pretty much the most stressed-out guy in the galaxy, first watching as Starkiller Base was blown sky high and then having to chase various rapscallions in the Resistance before becoming a spy on the inside. 37. Maz Kanata She likes Wookiees, running a crazy space bar, looking into people's eyes to see their souls and collecting antique lightsabers. Folks back in the day had Yoda as their feisty oldster and the kids now have Maz. 36. Enfys Nest We're probably never getting a "Solo" sequel and the most tragic part of that is we only got one movie with this Cloud-Riders' leader, an enigmatic pirate and freedom fighter with an awesome look (and swoop bike!) years before being a Rebel was a thing. 35. Moff Gideon After the fall of the Empire, Gideon made a play for being the galaxy's No. 1 baddie. He wielded the Darksaber (before Luke Skywalker and Mando teamed up to defeat him), tried many times to kidnap Grogu, headed up the creation of robotic Dark Troopers and overall was a menace to society. 34. Mace Windu Giving Samuel L. Jackson an awesome tunic and a lightsaber is the easiest way to make sure you have the most groovy Jedi master ever. 33. K-2SO The most human of all the various "Star Wars" droids also is the snarkiest robot in the Rebel Alliance. And we adore him for it. 32. Padmé Amidala The queen of Naboo as well as Luke and Leia's mom, Padmé honestly wasn't the greatest at picking guys, and her friendship with Jar Jar was a head-scratcher, too, but she was quite the woman of action when needed. 31. Grand Moff Tarkin Even a guy like Darth Vader has to answer to somebody, and in the original "Star Wars" there was nobody more ruthless or cunning than Tarkin. Who ordered the blast that took out the planet Alderaan? Yep, that guy. Cold. Blooded. 30. C-3PO The protocol droid is always good for getting in the way and giving you odds of death during stressful space missions when you least want or need them. He's fluent in more than 7 million forms of communication and probably annoying with every single one. 29. Kuiil This helpful Ugnaught and Mando pal might be the most honorable guy in the galaxy. We have spoken. 28. Rose Tico The sister of a heroic Resistance bomber pilot, the mechanic tases traitors, gets her time in the spotlight on a death-defying mission with her idol Finn, and fights with the good guys in one last showdown with the First Order. 27. Figrin D'an On one hand, the frontman of the Modal Nodes from the original "Star Wars" was an intergalactic one-hit wonder. That said, just like "Puttin' on the Ritz," "One Night in Bangkok" and "99 Luftballoons," "The Cantina Band" theme is as tasty a jam as it ever was. 26. Chirrut Imwe He's one with the Force, and the Force is with him. The spiritual warrior gave us the most ethereal "Star Wars" quote since "May the Force be with you." 25. Bo-Katan Kryze A supporting player in the "Clone Wars" animated series finally got her spotlight in "The Mandalorian," teaming up with the Mando and rallying opposing factions of her people to bring Mandalore back in a big way. 24. BB-8 The little ball droid rolled into our hearts in "The Force Awakens" and is probably staying there for a while. BB-8 loves Poe, kinda digs Finn and is always available if you need a light or a thumbs up. 23. Jabba the Hutt So corpulent he didn't even move in "Return of the Jedi," Jabba was an intergalatic gangster with some serious swag. Owe him some money and you're likely to wind up in a carbonite frame and hung on the wall as cautionary-tale decor for the next poor soul. 22. Finn He's given a face to cannon-fodder Stormtroopers, plus has a penchant for flirting and a heroic streak. So, yeah, Finn's a "big deal" in the Resistance and in fans' hearts. 21. Jyn Erso She watched her mom die in front of her as a child, lost her dad to the Empire and was raised under the watchful eye of a Rebel extremist – so not the greatest upbringing. An ex-con, Jyn more than proved her worth as a hero stealing the plans to the Death Star. In short? She rules. 20. Kylo Ren Being the grandson of Darth Vader ain't easy: Do you embrace the light side of the Force like your parents and Uncle Luke, or is the dark side more your thing? With a lot of gravitas and some serious TIE fighter-flying skills, Ben Solo moved up the ranks after a memorable arc in "The Last Jedi" but we'd rather forget that final "Rise of Skywalker" kiss with Rey. 19. Cassian Andor The "Rogue One" spy gets quite the origin story with the prequel "Andor." After killing a couple of cops, Cassian goes on the run and winds up aligning himself with the Rebels, helps spark a prison riot, and resists fascist regimes like a champ, even though we know his ultimate fate is not a great one. 18. Admiral Ackbar Pop culture may know him for tossing one very memorable, meme-worthy line in a stressful situation ('It's a trap!') yet Ackbar goes bravely into battle against the second Death Star with the Rebel fleet, plus lives long enough to be an important part of the later Resistance. 17. Lando Calrissian The smoothest of operators, Lando was forgiven too easily after betraying Han Solo and friends and gifting them to Darth Vader for some political capital. He helped save Han from Jabba, became a Rebel general and took down a Death Star, so probably a win in the long run. 16. Poe Dameron The greatest pilot in the Resistance, if not the galaxy. So he's got that going for him. 15. Grogu So his name's not technically Baby Yoda, though he'll always be known as that in our hearts. And he's not exactly a baby, being 50 years old. But you can't dispute the pure heart-melting power of the little guy who's taken pop culture by storm hanging with his adopted dad, the Mando. 14. Boba Fett For a whole generation, he was the universe's most mysterious fan favorite, a bounty hunter who didn't say all that much and got eaten by a sand monster before we got to know him. "The Book of Boba Fett" however showed the man underneath that signature helmet and rocket pack and gave him an unexpected redemption arc. 13. The Emperor At one time the baddest man in the universe, no matter what name he goes by. As Senator Palpatine, he created a political situation perfect for the coming of a fascist Empire, and as Darth Sidious, led the fight to wipe out the Jedi. His "Rise of Skywalker" return took away much of that shine, and at the end he wasn't as scary as ... 12. Dedra Meero While the Empire had its share of fright-inducing folks, you didn't get more ambitious or sinister than this member of the Imperial Security Bureau. Cold, calculating and highly intelligent, Dedra saw the rebellion coming when none of her other peers did. And good luck to anybody who gets in her way. 11. Rey 'Star Wars' quiz: 'Skywalker' stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega face off John Boyega and Daisy Ridley get the same graduate-level quiz from USA TODAY to see who has better knowledge of the galaxy. USA TODAY The young heroine is fierce, smart, way strong in the Force and an ideal hero for little "Star Wars" fans, no matter their gender, and she doesn't suffer old Jedi masters (or hotheaded Sith lord wannabes she's got some chemistry with) who give her a hard time. 10. Chewbacca Perhaps the most egregious fail in "Star Wars" history was Chewbacca not getting a service medal after the Battle of Yavin. And don't even go there calling him a "sidekick" – Han Solo's hairy best friend is the Rebels' most loyal jack of all trades and also has an affinity for porgs. 9. Din Djarin The bounty-hunting gunslinging space dad travels the galaxy in a post-Empire world with a tragic backstory and son Grogu in tow. Mando got in trouble for taking off his helmet, although we need to know is he's got a big ol' heart underneath that valuable beskar armor. 8. R2-D2 He's best known as the other half of an iconic mechanical pairing with Threepio, and that's all well and good. But one of the neatest "Star Wars" friendships is between Luke Skywalker and Artoo, a duo that remained tight from the sands of Tatooine to the swamps of Dagobah. 7. Obi-Wan Kenobi The prequel trilogy isn't good for much, but what those films do is give old Ben a tragic backstory: Before protecting Luke for years and being killed by Vader, Obi-Wan was one of the Clone Wars' greatest heroes until he and the Jedi were betrayed by his talented apprentice and best friend. 6. Ahsoka Tano Originally a character in the animated "Clone Wars" series, Anakin Skywalker's young Padawan figured out that being a Jedi wasn't much of a career track way before Luke Skywalker also saw the heroic order's flaws. Now a grown-up with her own "Ahsoka" Disney+ show, she's a capable warrior with a pair of lightsabers and a bunch of fight left in her. 5. Yoda Don't underestimate the wizened little green guy putzing around with a laser sword. He acrobatically took on Palpatine in the prequels, but the Jedi master's best work came showing Luke the ways of the Force and preparing him to face Vader. 4. Luke Skywalker Remember when everybody freaked out that no one knew what he was up to as an old man in "Force Awakens"? That's just how integral he is to the original "Star Wars" trilogy and the overall saga. In terms of all-time hero's journeys, his is up there, from his humble beginnings on Tatooine to learning of his sinister dad to becoming a Jedi master to sacrificing himself to help the Resistance. 3. Princess Leia For the longest time, the late Carrie Fisher's iconic heroine was the only one around in George Lucas' movie universe, but she still redefined female characters in the sci-fi genre. She took no guff from anybody, particularly not slug-like villains who put her in metal bikinis, and will forever be the gold standard of "Star Wars" women. 2. Han Solo A protagonist armed with not only a blaster but a signature smirk and questionable morals, the Corellian smuggler flew into fans' hearts from the start and never let go. In many ways, Solo fueled the narrative as the Everyman caught up in a world of "hokey religions and ancient weapons" while just trying to make a buck. His return in "Force Awakens" – with the insta-classic line "Chewie, we're home" – meant we were, too. 1. Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker Much of the primary story of "Star Wars" is Anakin's, a tragically Shakespearean exploration of what happens when "the chosen one" isn't exactly that. From superhero to child killer to intergalactic enforcer, Vader's arc leads him to want to rule the galaxy with his son by his side, though Luke doesn't turn like his father when given the chance. Anakin does ultimately find redemption through sacrifice, and even after death his presence is still felt through Luke and his grandson, Kylo. This universe has no bigger or more important personality.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3: All story quests and how to do them
Image via: Epic Games This season, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 : Galactic Battle throws players into Star Wars for an all-out defensive and offensive engagement of Jedi robes and First Order uniforms boot-in. And even more important than all of a sudden flashy in-cosmetics and themed weapons is the subtle underlayer of rare narrative progression: the Story Quests. These are not just checklist challenges, but it is a window into the historical Star Wars-Fortnite saga, as well as really important in the area of earning that coveted Battle Pass completion . Here is the information about this season's Story Quests and how to complete them all. A shift in storytelling Based on the seasons, Story Quests have always been part of the DNA of Fortnite, and for players, this form of engagement becomes yet another means to interact with the ever-evolving lore.

Everything New Coming To ‘Fortnite' In This Week's ‘Star Wars: Galactic Battle' Season 3 Update
Fortnite Season 3 Fortnite and Star Wars have had many collaborations over the years. We've hacked our enemies down with lightsabers, taken bounties as The Mandalorian and fought our way to victory as just about every Star Wars character imaginable. But this coming season marks the biggest crossover with a galaxy far, far away so far. That's because the entire season is Star Wars-themed, with a Battle Pass that includes a whole suite of Star Wars characters like Emperor Palpatine and Jar Jar Binks, much-altered map that brings lots of fun Star Wars locations to the game, new weapons, vehicles and more. As the new season approaches, so does the Imperial Death Star, which now looms ominously in the sky above the island. Let's take a look at everything new headed to Fortnite this weekend with a Friday launch date, just in time for May the 4th, aka Star Wars Day. We'll start with the trailer: As you can see at the end of that trailer, the upcoming season will be blocked out into chapters or episodes. These include: If this is the entire season, we're looking at a shorter-than-usual run, which is probably a good idea. We wouldn't want Star Wars to outwear its welcome. Here's the newly revealed Chapter 6, Season 3 Map: Fortnite Season 3 Star Wars Map FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder As you can see, four new special locations have appeared on the map, all with a Star Wars connection. There's the Resistance Base up in the northwest corner. The dastardly First Order has set up a base in the northeast corner. In the southeast, the Outpost Enclave should give rebels more cover. And finally, in the southwest corner we have Vader Samurai's Solitude. The coolest part about this update is the addition of flyable vehicles in the form of X-Wings and TIE Fighters. The former can carry a pilot and three passengers while the former can only carry the pilot and one passenger. Lightsabers and blasters should also return, along other weapon changes. Fortnite A number of Star Wars-themed skins are headed to the Season 3 Battle Pass, including General Grievous and Poe Dameron. You can read all about the new Battle Pass skins right here. Unsurprisingly, Star Wars is also coming to LEGO Fortnite this week. There's only a brief teaser: There will be more news and announcements as we get closer to the new season, and of course plenty of updates and changes during Season 3's run. Stay tuned!
