Alright, so there we were in “The Rise of Skywalker” — watching Rey face off against her own, I dunno, evil twin vibe in that wrecked Death Star scene. Kind of wild, right? I mean, she might look the same when she pops up in Fortnite—minus the whole creepy teeth thing. That was a bit much, wasn’t it?
Now, if you were crossing your fingers for that switchblade-esque double lightsaber to make it into the game—forget it. Nope, instead, we get this… unique pickaxe styled after Ochi’s Blade. It’s that peculiar knife—remember? The one that magically lined up with the Death Star wreckage? Yeah, don’t get me started on the zillion plot twists in that film. My brain’s still doing somersaults over it.
And this isn’t our first rodeo with Sith-themed skins in Fortnite lately. Did you see when they dropped Darth Jar Jar? Honestly, the idea that our clumsy pal might’ve been secretly orchestrating the chaos all along? That’s just bonkers. Not a part of the official story, of course—but what a wild ride for the imagination, huh?
Anyway, this Star Wars mash-up season in Fortnite wraps up on June 7. So if you’re still itching to snag that Disco Emperor Palpatine skin, better hop to it. Or just watch from the sidelines and enjoy the madness. Your call.
