Samuel L. Jackson’s legendary Jedi Master, Mace Windu, is bringing the Force to Fortnite. Grab him from the item shop now!
Although we are only two weeks into the new Fortnite x Star Wars Galactic Battle Season, the big reveals keep coming. The item shop has now had a healthy dose of the Force just days after players gained access to new characters like Poe Dameron, Captain Phasma, and Emperor Palpatine. Last night, as the item shop rotated, Samuel L. Jackson’s iconic Jedi Master, Mace Windu, arrived in all his glory. For the price of 2,000 V-Bucks, players can now play as the legendary member of the Jedi Council and use his abilities across the map.
The character is available to own as a standalone. Still, as always, Fortnite has put together a juicy bundle of accessories and cosmetics to tempt you to part with more credits. The whole bundle gives players a Training Droid Practice emote, a Jedi Starfighter Interceptor back bling, a Jedi Order Crest pickaxe, a Windu weapons wrap, and a Bass Windu instrument. Frustratingly, Lightsabers are still unavailable as pickaxes, making the character a little less impressive than we’d hoped. Still, the likeness to Samuel L. Jackson is striking and effortlessly catapults this skin into the upper echelons of Fortnite’s best. Additionally, Fortnite has added Mace’s classic purple Lightsaber to the map as a mythic weapon, so the character can be at his best until the season ends in June.

FUTURE RELEASES
What an EPIC new skin (see what I did there?!). Fans have been yearning to expand their Jedi collection in Fortnite for some time, so Mace Windu’s arrival will be a welcome boost for Star Wars fans. And thankfully, Mace is just the tip of the iceberg-shaped asteroid. Darth Jar Jar and a fully customisable Mandalorian skin are still to come, as well as any surprises Lucasfilm and Epic Games have in store. So, the new Fortnite x Star Wars Galactic Battle season is far from over, and long may it reign.
But what secret skins could Epic Games be working on, I hear you ask? Rumor has it that C-3PO and the classic Imperial TIE Fighter pilot could be getting skin. But the upcoming Mandalorian Uprising chapter of the season could herald the arrival of Jango Fett, Bo-Katan Kryze, Sabine Wren, Paz Viszla, and the Armorer. Aside from Jango Fett, every character has already received a vehicle decal wrap, suggesting their arrival could be imminent, and with the chapter already promising to allow players to take a Mandalorian warrior into battle with them, let’s hope this is the way!
The new Fortnite x Star Wars Mace Windu skin is available in the item shop until May 17, so grab yours now and feel the Force.
