Sith Rey reportedly closing out Fortnite’s Star Wars season

In a Fortnite season filled with a variety of familiar Star Wars faces, it seems that Epic and Disney have kept one final character on lockdown. According to established Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey, a Sith-tainted Rey will be coming to the game on May 30 at 8pm ET for 1500 V-Bucks.

We got a full glimpse of a Dark Side-loving Rey in Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, when she battled herself in the ruins of the Death Star, so it’s fair to assume that she’ll sport a similar appearance here (though maybe not with the teeth).

If you’re hoping that she might sport her bizarre switchblade-looking double saber in the bundle (coming in at 2,000 V-Bucks), don’t hold your breath. It seems that she will have a pickaxe, but it will be based on Ochi’s Blade. Yes, it’s the famous magic knife that broke in the perfect way to somehow align with the ruins of the Death Star and show her the way to the Sith Wayfinder… or something. (Wow, that movie had a lot of problems didn’t it?)

This isn’t the first Sith-happy skin in this season of Fortnite. A few weeks ago saw the release of Darth Jar Jar, a skin that implied that maybe the goofy Gungan had more going on than meets the eye, and was in fact plotting the rise of Emperor Palpatine since the very beginning of the series. It’s clearly not considered canon, but hey, it’s fun to dream, right?

The Star Wars season of Fortnite comes to a close on June 7, so if you’re still hoping to unlock Disco Emperor Palpatine, now is the time to do it.
