Sure thing, here it goes:
So, I’ve been diving into Fortnite again—don’t judge me—mainly because they’re having this wild Star Wars fest. Like, there’s a stormtrooper skin you can snag for free, which is kinda cool, I guess. And then a new battle pass dropped, plus a bunch of Star Wars-themed cosmetics. I mean, who can keep up, right? But here’s the deal, not everything’s been rolled out yet. Like, where the heck is Darth Jar Jar? Haven’t seen him, but you know what? Some leakers (you know the usual suspects, ShiinaBR and SpushFNBR—how do they even find this stuff?) are buzzing about Mace Windu. Yeah, you heard me, Samuel L. Jackson’s Jedi self, coming soon to Fortnite!
Word is, he’s hitting the item shop on May 9 at 8 p.m. ET. Gotta shell out 1500 V-Bucks for him. But wait, there’s more! (I sound like one of those TV ads). You can grab some extras like a backbling, an emote, a pickaxe, and a weapon wrap. The whole shebang costs about 2000 V-Bucks. So, if you’re thinking of decking him out, it might be worth it—or maybe not, depends if you’re feeling bougie, I guess.
But, here’s the kicker—I can’t wrap my head around this—he comes with a bass guitar instead of a lightsaber. Like, you think Jedi, you think lightsabers, right!? Apparently, Epic has this thing about not doing lightsaber pickaxes. Maybe it’s game balance? Or maybe Disney gave them the side-eye and was like, “Nope!” It’s hard to tell, really. Could be both.
But hey, on the bright side, Mace Windu’s gonna rock a bass guitar. I kind of dig that. Unexpected, but in a fun way.
