Let’s dive into a mishmash of info about Fortnite and Star Wars. So, buckle up. First off, there’s a special skin called Sith Rey. Fancy, huh? It’s gonna drop around the end of May — like the 30th or 31st, depending on who you ask. But here’s the twist, some style variations will come as Twitch Drops. Now, why do they do this? Probably because Star Wars stuff in Fortnite seems like a match made in the stars (get it?) and fans just eat it up. May the Fourth is a Star Wars thing, right? This year, they went all out — a whole season dedicated to Star Wars. It’s live until June 7, and there’s something big planned for the final day, apparently. But, side note, there’s something else sneaky going on starting May 29.
Epic Games mentioned something in their update v35.20 blog post — and it seems there are sprays and emoticons we can grab. But oops, forgot to mention the new Sith Rey look, right? But hey, there was a leak (because who doesn’t love a bit of drama) revealing we’d get more than just basic unlockables: new Apprentice style, anyone?
If you don’t know (which, let’s be real, some might not), Sith Rey is a Star Wars skin that’s supposedly making its way to the game. Think of it like a space-themed fashion drop. And I’ve been hearing it’s hitting the store around May 29 at 8 PM ET. But again, who knows with these things. Usually, the simpler rewards show up first as Twitch Drops, with Apprentice Rey being the crown jewel at the end.
Now, some insider — or just someone with too much info — named Blortzen said Rey’s skin was initially part of the Galactic Battle Pass. But guess what? She got swapped for another skin: Apprentice Evie. Makes sense if they’re trying not to overload the pass with just Star Wars stuff. Balance, I suppose? Or maybe they just want to keep players guessing. Anyway, that’s my tangled web of thoughts on this whole thing. Enjoy the chaos and may the Force (or should I say, the Fortnite) be with you.
