Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3: Star Wars Theme and Launch Details

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3: Star Wars Is Taking Over!

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 is almost over, and it’s ending much earlier than usual. This time, Epic Games has big plans—and it’s not just another seasonal update. The next chapter is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet, and it’s all because of Star Wars.

Normally, Fortnite's spring seasons run into late May or early June, but Season 2 ends on May 2, hinting at something huge. And if rumors are true, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 will be completely Star Wars-themed.

Let’s break down what we know so far.

When Does Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Start?

The current battle pass is set to end on May 2 at 10:30 PM PT / 1:30 AM ET. After that, Fortnite will go offline for a short maintenance break. If all goes as planned, the new season will begin on the morning of May 3.

What’s the Theme of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3?

Season 3 is expected to focus on Star Wars—a full-season theme that will include new locations, weapons, and items from the Star Wars universe. Think lightsabers, starships, and iconic characters on the island.

Unlike past themed seasons like the Marvel-based Absolute Doom, this Star Wars season will reportedly be short—only one month. That could mean a more exciting and fast-paced experience without getting repetitive.

Big Reveal Coming at Star Wars Celebration

The official announcement is expected during the Star Wars Celebration event in Japan on Saturday, April 19. Epic Games has promised major news during the livestream on the Star Wars YouTube channel. While we may not get the full battle pass reveal yet, a teaser or trailer is very likely.

What’s in the Fortnite Star Wars Battle Pass?

A Star Wars-themed season means the battle pass will be packed with Star Wars characters and gear. No confirmed skins have leaked yet, but rumors point to names like Qui-Gon Jinn, C-3PO, and maybe even Emperor Palpatine.

Because this season will be shorter, the battle pass will probably have fewer skins than usual. Similar to past short seasons, we might see four to five main skins instead of the usual eight.

More Star Wars Skins in the Item Shop?

Yes! Along with the battle pass, players can expect additional Star Wars skins in the shop. While not confirmed, it's possible we’ll see skins for General Grievous, C-3PO, and others during the event.

These could either be in the item shop or as special limited-time bundles.

Will Lego Fortnite Get a Star Wars Update Too?

Definitely a strong possibility.

The current Lego Fortnite Pass ends on May 2, just like the regular battle pass. Last year, Lego Fortnite featured Chewbacca and a Star Wars story update, so it’s likely we’ll see another crossover.

Expect new Lego Star Wars characters and an expanded story connected to the Galactic Civil War, making its way to your Lego islands.

Final Thoughts

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 looks like it will be one of the most fun and action-packed updates yet. With the power of Star Wars behind it, players can expect an epic experience filled with iconic heroes, new gameplay elements, and exciting crossovers.

Get ready for the galactic showdown starting May 2. This won’t be just another season—it’s a full-on Star Wars invasion!
