If these leaks are true, this will not be the first time for Star Wars to be featured in the game. In December 2019, Fortnite x Star Wars was a Fortnite event which promoted Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker.

The Mandalorian Season 2 is currently airing on Disney+, and so it seems like a perfect time for Star Wars to once again come to Fortnite.

Fortnite Season 5's release date is expected to be 3rd December 2020.
