‘Fortnite' Reveals Battle Pass Skins For Season 3's ‘Star Wars: Galactic Battle'
Fortnite Epic It seemed like Fortnite was running a bit low on major Star Wars characters to put in the game, given that they have most of the staples at this point, but this is not stopping them from doing a full-on Star Wars season for Chapter 6 Season 3. After a fair amount of leaks, we have our first official look at the five battle pass skins that will be a part of season 3, and of course there will be more to follow in the shop. We have: And then Fortnite/Star Wars crossover skins with an OC Jedi variant and a Chewie 'team leader' type skin that may in fact be the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Or close to it. We know there will be Jar Jar Binks (including Darth Jar Jar), customizable Mandalorian armor, Mace Windu and I believe Captain Phasma. The Galactic Battle scene, which has been previewed with the arrival of the Death Star, will also feature X-Wings and TIE Fighters as vehicles. There will be a Mos Eisley landmark on the map and Sand Crawlers filled with loot. There are some theories Fortnite may finally get customizable lightsaber pickaxes, but that is not confirmed. Fortnite Epic As I said, they're really getting into some of the side characters now, though hell yes, I definitely want to play as General Grievous and Darth Jar Jar Binks. I am at least a touch surprised they did not line up this Star Wars season with a Cassian Andor skin, given that the show is currently airing, but I suppose it's far less mainstream than all these other movie-based skins. The shows it has touched on have been the likes of The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. Fortnite Chapter 6 season 3 should begin about a week from now, May 2 or 3 I believe, hence the spooling up of all these previews, including which of the promised skins will be in the battle pass, and which are heading to the shop instead. These full crossover seasons tend to be pretty big, and Fortnite has already done this once with Disney with its full Marvel season, and about 60 other Marvel skins as we've seen over the years. Is this the last batch of Star Wars skins if we've gotten all the way to Jar Jar Binks? I have no idea. Did they ever do a Qui-Gon skin? At this point we're probably heading to Admiral Ackbar and Greedo. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Bluesky Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Here Are Fortnite's Sabrina Carpenter Skins, Plus ‘Marvel Rivals,' Kind Of
Fortnite Epic The past few weeks it has been no great secret that the singer that had a crazy past year, Sabrina Carpenter, was heading to Fortnite. Now, her skins have been revealed ahead of her upcoming release, and you can see it both above and below. Sabrina Carpenter won two Grammys in 2025, one for Best Pop Vocal Album and the other for Best Solo Performance for Espresso, commonly deemed the 'song of the summer.' Heading to Fortnite means she's about to get some Festival songs (Juno, Taste and Please Please Please so far) but also yes, you will soon be able to run around killing Batman and Lara Croft with a shotgun as Sabrina Carpenter. The skin very much looks like her, as of course is always the goal, and Fortnite has only gotten better at this in time. The main skin shown has one of her signature sequin corset outfits that she wears at her shows, one that's a sparkly skirt outfit and one that's a yellow dress. She also has what I'm going to refer to has 'Fortnite censorship,' with two of her outfits giving her opaque white leggings under her outfits. The game recently gave Mortal Kombat's Kitana bike shorts, so this seems to be an escalating trend. One interesting thing they're doing with Sabrina for the first time is something called 'dance emotes.' The idea is that she can be doing an emote, and another player can come near her and start doing the dance even without owning the emote themselves. Kind of neat. But wait, did I mention Marvel Rivals in that headline? Yeah, I did, though this one is kind of funny and different. No, Sabrina Carpenter is not diving into Marvel as some sort of superhero version of herself, of course. However, a new banner has revealed that in an upcoming summer skin, Squirrel Girl is getting an 'Espresso' outfit taken from Sabrina's famed music video which included a now iconic sun visor. Instead of 'Espresso' it says 'Doreen,' her real name. So, this upcoming skin certainly looks like its Sabrina-inspired, even if it's not anything official. Marvel Rivals NetEase But back to Fortnite, Sabrina Carpenter joins a long, long list of musicians that have now appeared in the game from Ariana Grande to Lady Gaga to Snoop Dog to Billie Eilish. Recently, Chappel Roan has expressed an interest in getting a skin, and at this point, I think it's only a matter of time before we see Taylor Swift dive in here. But first, Sabrina, live soon.
