Fortnite insider Shiina has shared some details that suggest skins and other items are on the way for May 4th, as they’ve done in previous years to celebrate the Star Wars holiday.
The upcoming Star Wars skins seem to have these cosmetics in their set, based on the game files:
Codename “CirrusVine”:

In a follow-up tweet, Shiina said that they hadn’t heard anything just yet about which Star Wars characters could be included in these skin sets. However, others have theories about what might happen with these cosmetics. Some have speculated that both of the sets could be related to the prequel Star Wars stories. Another idea is that the “PlotTwist” skin set could be related to Anakin Skywalker or Emperor Palpatine, both of which have definitely had their own plot twists throughout the various Star Wars sagas.
Though there’s not as much evidence or as many connections to back up this speculation, many are hoping that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor protagonist Cal Kestis is represented somewhere in this next Star Wars drop. Given that the Star Wars game is due out towards the end of this month, it’d be the prime time for Cal Kestis to enter the battle royale game, perhaps with a BD-1 back bling in tow.
We await confirmation from Epic Games and/or Lucasfilm as to what will be added to the game and when — happy gaming!
