Fortnite is in the midst of a month-long Star Wars celebration, complete with a free stormtrooper skin, a new battle pass and more. While a huge chunk of new Star Wars cosmetics dropped right at the start of the new season, there are still a few already-revealed skins that haven’t been released yet. Darth Jar Jar, for example, has not revealed his plans as yet. But thanks to some established Fortnite leakers, we do know when we’ll be seeing Sam Jackon’s Mace Windu in-game.
According to ShiinaBR and SpushFNBR, Jedi Master Mace Windu will be available for purchase in Fortnite’s item shop for 1500 V-Bucks at 8 p.m. ET on May 9. He’ll appear alongside a number of accessories (a backbling, emote, pickaxe, and weapon wrap) that, when bought with the skin, will run you 2000 V-Bucks as a bundle.
It should be noted that while he is paired with a pickaxe, it won’t be his terrific purple lightsaber. In fact, it’ll be a bass guitar, of all things. Epic has remained pretty stringent about not allowing lightsabers to be pickaxes. Hard to say if this is game balance issue — lightsabers are also weapons you can pick up in-game, and seeing someone with a non-weapon lightsaber pickaxe might cause some gameplay strife — or simply a matter of Disney telling Epic “no lightsaber pickaxes.”
But hey, at least he has a bass guitar.
