Fortnite x Star Wars Chapter 6 Season 3: Your Complete Guide to a Galactic Adventure
The Force Awakens: Season Launch and Duration
Mark your calendars, Padawans and Sith Lords alike! Fortnite x Star Wars Chapter 6 Season 3 blasts off on May 2, 2025. But here’s the kicker – this interstellar adventure is set to be one of the shortest seasons in Fortnite history, wrapping up on June 8, 2025. That’s right, you’ve got just 35 days to explore every nook and cranny of this Star Wars-infused island.
Why so short? While Epic Games hasn’t spilled the beans, we can speculate. Perhaps they’re planning something even bigger for the summer? Or maybe, like the best Star Wars stories, they’re leaving us wanting more. Whatever the reason, one thing’s clear – every day of this season is going to be packed with action, challenges, and enough content to make even a Hutt’s hoard look small in comparison.
Battle Pass Skins: A Gallery of Galactic Heroes (and Villains)
Get ready to channel your inner Jedi, Sith, or… whatever Jar Jar is, because the Battle Pass for this season is a Star Wars fan’s dream come true. Here’s the lineup of skins confirmed so far:
- Darth Jar Jar: Yes, the meme has become reality. Prepare for chaos as this clumsy Gungan embraces the dark side.
- Captain Phasma: The chrome-armored commander is ready to lead your squad to victory.
- Poe Dameron: The Resistance’s ace pilot brings his X-wing skills to the Fortnite island.
- Mace Windu: Samuel L. Jackson’s iconic Jedi Master, purple lightsaber and all.
- Emperor Palpatine: Unlimited power, now in Battle Royale form!
- Custom Mandalorian: Create your own Way of the Mandalore with this customizable skin.
- First Order Stormtrooper: Classic white armor, now with 100% more building skills.
- Wookie Cuddle Team Leader: The crossover we didn’t know we needed, but now can’t live without.
Each of these skins is likely to come with matching Back Blings, Emotes, and Pickaxes. And if past seasons are anything to go by, we might even see a secret Battle Pass skin revealed later in the season. Boba Fett, perhaps? Or maybe Rey making her Fortnite debut? Only time will tell!
Update Roadmap: A Season of Galactic Proportions
Epic Games isn’t holding back with this season, dropping major updates almost every week. Here’s what we know about the update schedule:

- May 8, 2025: The Pull of the Force – Expect Force-related abilities and challenges.

New Vehicles and Items: Starfighters and Blasters Galore
What’s a Star Wars season without iconic vehicles and weapons? Based on the teaser and key art, here’s what we can expect to see:
- X-wings and TIE Fighters: Whether these will be fully pilotable vehicles or just gliders remains to be seen, but either way, expect some epic aerial battles.
- New Blasters: The key art showcases at least one new rifle and two new pistols. Keep an eye out for Cassian Andor’s Blaster – it looks like it’s making its Fortnite debut.
- Sand Crawlers: These Jawa transports might serve as mobile loot chests. Time to brush up on your Jawaese!
And let’s not forget lightsabers. While not explicitly shown in the teasers, it’s hard to imagine a Star Wars season without the iconic energy swords making an appearance.
Map Changes: A Galaxy on Your Island
While specific details are still under wraps, Epic Games has hinted at “significant changes” to the Fortnite map as part of this collaboration. Could we see Tatooine-like desert areas? A Coruscant-inspired city center? Or perhaps even a section of the Death Star crash-landed on the island? The possibilities are as vast as the Star Wars galaxy itself.
| Update | Date | Expected Content |
|---|---|---|
| Imperial Takeover | May 2, 2025 | Season launch, new map changes |
| The Pull of the Force | May 8, 2025 | Force-related abilities and items |
