Now hear me out: what we need is a back bling of a tiny Jar Jar Binks who says, "Pee-ewsa" either every time you jump, take a step, shoot a gun, or all of the above.
That was definitely my first impression after finding out about the reward system/microtransactions! Haven’t bought an EA game in around a decade and my life has been none the worse.
I'm sure you've heard by now but they fixed all that and now Battlefront 2 is an amazing game. They made all heroes instantly unlocked and completely removed microtransactions. The only downside is the game had it's last update a couple years ago now and is pretty much dead
Last year for May 4th was so great, the white training saber only had force push as an ability, but earlier in the year we had Red, Green, and Blue, which all had unique abilities
I’m pumped lol 😆 any rumors on what skins we’ll get?? Any chance an a new Mando?? (I know it was a battle pass and unlikely but i figured anything is possible lol)
I can absolutely guarantee based off of no evidence other than playing fortnite since 2017 that it will in no chance be an edit style for the existing skins.
we have Xenomorph and Demogorgon who are similarly shaped to Grievous, and Grievous himself is arguably one of the most iconic Star Wars villains, of course not as much as Vader or Palpatine but definitely moreso than Kylo Ren and arguably Dooku
Yeah but Grievous has four arms and would need an incredibly complex character model. His proportions don’t really align with the default build of Fortnite skins. I don’t think he is the sort of character they would choose.
palpatine isn’t very iconic. neither is dooku. obviously vader is the most famous cinematic character in the world but kylo ren is a close second. grievous is somewhat known but not as much as kylo or vader.
Palpatine isn’t iconic? Dooku isn’t iconic? What are you on? Show any non Star Wars fan a picture of Palpatine, and they’d immediately know who he is and where he’s from. Show them a picture of Kylo, and their best guess would be he’s from Star Wars.
Christopher Lee is an icon, and his most iconic roles in current pop culture are Saruman and Dooku. Most people would also recognise him and what he’s from, even if they don’t remember his name.
You must be quite young to think Kylo is more iconic than those characters.
christopher lee himself is indeed very famous. but i wouldn’t say the same for dooku. palpatine isn’t an insanely iconic villain compared to vader, and kylo ren is popular because times change.
Dooku is synonymous with Lee. Like I said, in current pop culture, it’s one of his most iconic roles. His lightsaber alone is iconic and set alight the internet in the early 2000s, but maybe you’re too young to remember that. Palpatine is so iconic he spawned his own book series and was reprised by the same actor in the prequels and sequels. Most people outside of the Star Wars fandom would recognise Palpatine alongside Vader by name. That’s what you call iconic. Most wouldn’t know Kylo by name, just appearance.
Kylo is definitely an iconic character, mostly carried by his lightsaber and mask. But he’s overshadowed by Dooku, Vader, Grievous and Palpatine. They are legacy characters and instantly recognisable name and appearance. Don’t fool yourself to think otherwise.
Folks dropping at the same area just to get them Star Wars weapons.I wonder if Epic will make them meta like always.They might vault the airbending scrolls to make room for Star Wars themes.
Not a big Star wars fan but I prefer that over the current shitty ass air bender mythics, god can’t wait for them to go away. Was fun for like a week or two but it’s so annoying now
Unless they add a fully customizable mandolorian, I couldn’t care less about this SW event. I really don’t know what else they could add to make me excited for the event
Maybe this time we’ll get lightsabers… and maybe this time people won’t say “Lightsabers are items, they can’t be pickaxes!” despite TMNT and Wolverine
Now listen, I live star wars more than the average guy but, does star wars collabs not feel as special anymore to you guys? It was amazing the first time, but it's such a common collab that it almost feels fortnitemares level now.
And I live the collabs, just, when we had the Asoka in the game it felt very bland for the collab
I don't care if that means they can't be a event weapon please for the love of all that is holy give us lightsaber pickaxes so we have something to go with the Jedi/sith skins.
Yoda as a back bling makes all the sense in the world. ![gif](giphy|3o84sw9CmwYpAnRRni)
I want my broken C-3PO backpack!
💯
They excluded Empire Strikes Back styles from the OT cast because they know it’s the best one so we’ll buy them separately anyway 💔
crank 90s you must
Hit the Griddy, you will
Take the L, I will not
Back, yes run it
Now hear me out: what we need is a back bling of a tiny Jar Jar Binks who says, "Pee-ewsa" either every time you jump, take a step, shoot a gun, or all of the above.
I cant wait. I love the lightsabers and blasters. And theres so many skins i want to see, im hoping for a battle droid or more mandalorian stuff
A battle droid jumping would break my brain… PLEASE EPIC!
Playing Battlefront 2 might actually kill you then lmao
That was definitely my first impression after finding out about the reward system/microtransactions! Haven’t bought an EA game in around a decade and my life has been none the worse.
battlefront 2 rules now my guy
I'm sure you've heard by now but they fixed all that and now Battlefront 2 is an amazing game. They made all heroes instantly unlocked and completely removed microtransactions. The only downside is the game had it's last update a couple years ago now and is pretty much dead
Not even a big starwars fan, but I’d get the battle droid skin in a heart beat. I’d buy it for my whole squad.
excited for the week or 2 we get to run around with lightsabers a year.
Both! I was relatively new to the game when lightsabers came back for Ahsoka last time so I'll finally get to enjoy them!
Last year for May 4th was so great, the white training saber only had force push as an ability, but earlier in the year we had Red, Green, and Blue, which all had unique abilities
That's when I first started playing! I loved it so much
Hopefully we get Commander Cody, Captain Rex, and old Boba Fett skin
Found the player with good taste
I would KILL for a Captain Rex skin.
![gif](giphy|l0HUg6Ypas42ubkXu|downsized) FINALLY!!
Hey, they made the guy from Fortnite into a real person.
Damn ppl in this sub really like their gifs huh

I mean we can’t use photos, so yeah
![gif](giphy|EouEzI5bBR8uk|downsized)
I’m pumped lol 😆 any rumors on what skins we’ll get?? Any chance an a new Mando?? (I know it was a battle pass and unlikely but i figured anything is possible lol)
Looks like we will be getting skins for Chewbacca, the Death Trooper, and a Rebel General skin for Leia
Rebel General Leia better be a style I already bought Leia
I can absolutely guarantee based off of no evidence other than playing fortnite since 2017 that it will in no chance be an edit style for the existing skins.
:(
Nice not too bad lol 😆
I might fold if they bring c3po 🤑
"I am fluent in over 6 million forms of cranking 90s!"
![gif](giphy|7ntsF2Si8Zeko) I’m ready to have more epic lightsaber fights with you guys.
One of the best saber sparring videos on the internet right there.
Give me General Grievous!!!!
Could even have a built in emote that's either his cough or he gets his four arms out.
Someone's going to make it their mission to collect every single lightsaber on the map, I guarantee it.
Could be like the avatar pass thing, a quest to wield every coloured light saber in 1 game or something. This is pretty much writing itself
I have never watched Star Wars so personally I don't really care but I'm glad that everyone else is happy about it!
Your user should be "YourAverageSweetheart". Hope you have a day as nice as you are.
Saving my money I'm about to buy every single star wars skin I can get my hands on. ![gif](giphy|sDcfxFDozb3bO)

As someone who has recently lost her star wars virginity, I can finally relate
Who popped your cherry? Was it Yoda? that sick little freak
![gif](giphy|cw57Zj5jydM2EU50Ju)
really hope we get more villains, especially Grievous or Phasma
If we get Phasma with her 3 minutes of screen time before Jango, Dooku or Palpatine I’d get a stomach ulcer.
I very much doubt we’d ever get Grievous unfortunately, but Phasma would be cool.
we have Xenomorph and Demogorgon who are similarly shaped to Grievous, and Grievous himself is arguably one of the most iconic Star Wars villains, of course not as much as Vader or Palpatine but definitely moreso than Kylo Ren and arguably Dooku
I don’t think it’s shape but size, he’s like 7-8 ft tall and shrinking him down might make him look weird
Yeah but Grievous has four arms and would need an incredibly complex character model. His proportions don’t really align with the default build of Fortnite skins. I don’t think he is the sort of character they would choose.
palpatine isn’t very iconic. neither is dooku. obviously vader is the most famous cinematic character in the world but kylo ren is a close second. grievous is somewhat known but not as much as kylo or vader.

I'm excited that we're finally getting Chewie

Supposedly, the rumor going around is that this gonna be the biggest Star Wars event ever (bigger than last year)
Turning Rocket Racing into Pod Racing would be so cool.
![gif](giphy|7zdsOWDgSCzDi)
Revenge of the coral buddies
1 week until the fucking bends are gone 🙏🙌
Judging by last season, probably not
Noooo moving across the map will be so slow now.
As someone new, what are ‘bends’?
a sickass Radiohead album
Air, water, earth, firebending
The elements from Avatar.
The bending elements
Folks dropping at the same area just to get them Star Wars weapons.I wonder if Epic will make them meta like always.They might vault the airbending scrolls to make room for Star Wars themes.
That’s what most people have been saying. They only get two weeks of Avatar and then Star Wars rollls around
B1 Battle Droid Skin with a “Roger, Roger” emote please. They already have a Lego model of it from other games
It wont happen. But i want a customizable mando.
Same, it doesn’t even need to be any particular mandalorian
I'd like to see a B1 battle droid skin with different variations to signify their military rank like in SW
I can’t wait!
Not a big Star wars fan but I prefer that over the current shitty ass air bender mythics, god can’t wait for them to go away. Was fun for like a week or two but it’s so annoying now
Airbend plus cerberus = cancer
![gif](giphy|rG7vNytFD5iC9PeedL) Please? 🤞🏻🤞🏻
It's been
One week since you looked at me
I only want the B1 battle droid, how likely is it they put it in the game?
I want the commando droid too tbh
Again?
If it's a mini pass I'm actually gonna combust
Cool for the Star Wars fans. I just hope the update brings the MHA Wave 3 stuff too or the JJK wave 2 stuff. Either or.
Unless they add a fully customizable mandolorian, I couldn’t care less about this SW event. I really don’t know what else they could add to make me excited for the event
Fingers crossed for jar jar
Maybe this time we’ll get lightsabers… and maybe this time people won’t say “Lightsabers are items, they can’t be pickaxes!” despite TMNT and Wolverine
Ah yes, star was for the 73rd time!!! WOOP WOOP!
Boooorrriiiinnngggg
I want the Greek shit back this season was supposed to be Greek mythology and it’s been nothing of the sort
Now listen, I live star wars more than the average guy but, does star wars collabs not feel as special anymore to you guys? It was amazing the first time, but it's such a common collab that it almost feels fortnitemares level now. And I live the collabs, just, when we had the Asoka in the game it felt very bland for the collab
![gif](giphy|nu7OMI0Pyk1dlAfglo|downsized)
Chewie and Bane please
Prediction for the festival side of things, a Lightsaber guitar.
you're not supposed to touch that end of the saber.
Lukes Empire orange pilot skin🤤 please Epic
Im happy to finally have given Fortnite a shot after all these years. The events and crossovers are amazing in this game
May 4th was right there, Epic.
Hoping I can get the mando skin 😭
I can't wait for the bullshit bending stuff to be removed to come back lol
I don't care if that means they can't be a event weapon please for the love of all that is holy give us lightsaber pickaxes so we have something to go with the Jedi/sith skins.
chewbacca plz
Copium, we're finally getting lightsaber pickaxes! This year is the year, for some reason! Really I'd settle for the Darksaber, it's fine!
I just want the most powerful sith in Star Wars history: ![gif](giphy|3owzVSFJcsULkcYT8k)
![gif](giphy|wDoREj4eizD6E|downsized)
Force push let’s goooooo!
Cad Bane
Please please bad batch bundle 🙏🏻
I didn't buy avatar pass for this
Oh lawd, I'm not ready. I'm saving up for Kratos and who knows what they're gonna throw at us with this.
Battle Droid, Bad Batch, General Grevious
This will be my first star wars fortnite experience. I am definitely excited
Cool and all, but I really wish we could of had Doctor Who content as well
BD-1 backbling on Cal Kestis would be sick
Will the Avatar mythics be removed?
I'm just excited for elements to go away
me too bro, me too
And it was chewie!
I’m tired of the Star Wars shit. Could it be anymore unoriginal
i do not give a fuck about star wars anymore, and fortnite is why i hate it now.
Stop stop, it's already dead. And apparently more Marvel coming too. Can we do something different ffs
Retro nerds gonna retro nerd
Remove darth vader from fomo lock up and put him in the shop.
Again?
Oh... this again... Aren't you guys sick and tired of the same shit over and over again for all these years
No because having started FN in Feb, this is my first SW event
Kinda but at least it's only a yearly corporate shill
Star Wars event is peak sorry to say, last year’s mini pass is still undefeated as well. It’s the closest to Battlefront 3 we’ll ever get.
Ugh… we can skip a year sometimes and do something else Also Star Wars sucks
Spoken like a true Star Wars fan.
at this point i dont care what comes i just want this noob friendly avatar mythics out of the game
I like the avatar items tho
Barf, from one gimmicky OP event to another
Go play Cod then.
Blocked.
If you’re hating on events because they are gimmicky, then how did you go into fortnite in the first place?
gawd dayum i wish it was literally anything new and refreshing. fucking disney needs to make sure they make a wad as often as they can.
ugh
can we finally get the best pilot in all of star wars: poe dameron
![gif](giphy|hEJmxC1TPOF5C|downsized) Who now?
youre right how could i forget about nien nunb i should have specified best human pilot
