With Fortnite’s Star Wars season already underway, it may be hard to believe, but we’re nearing the finish line. Unlike previous Fortnite season transitions that typically happen overnight, this one will feature a live in-game finale. Because this mini-season lasts only five weeks, it is already drawing to a close, and players are already abuzz with theories about what comes next. Although Epic has not confirmed anything officially, leaks and speculation have some tantalizing clues.
