As Fortnite continues to crossover with Star Wars, a possibly substantiated rumor could be teasing a new collaboration skin with the Disney property. Fortnite first started collaborating with Star Wars back in 2019, and since then several more cosmetics related to the Disney franchise have been added to the game, with a possible future one being rumored currently.Because of the aforementioned crossovers, Star Wars is no stranger to Fortnite, with the battle royale featuring over a dozen characters from the popular franchise. While the Mandalorian and Darth Vader have been included in past Fortnite battle passes, and Darth Maul is currently part of an added tier of progression, players can find Star Wars characters like Kylo Ren, Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Stormtrooper and more from the Item Shop. Beyond the skins, tons of additional cosmetics like the Lil' Podracer and This is the Way emotes have been brought to Fortnite, and new Item Shop goodies continue to get rumored. The Fortnite Twitter account has garnered 15,700 likes on a text post that simply reads "Roger, Roger," which is being taken as a Star Wars reference as the battle royale is in the midst of its latest collaboration with the Disney property. Known Fortnite leaker FitzyLeakz and several others have speculated that the Fortnite tweet is referencing a future droid skin, with the most likely droid being the B1 battle droid. Because the battle droid repeats the line stated by the Fortnite Twitter account multiple times across the movies and shows, the mechanical Star Wars character seems like a plausible reference.
Given that Fortnite just got Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul, Padme Amidala, and more with the latest Star Wars crossover, the tweet may infer that more are coming. Although the rumors point to the B1 battle droid being the character that the Fortnite Twitter account is referencing, it's still unclear how relevant the tweet is to future content in the game. As Fortnite has included Star Wars characters in a mix of ways, the rumored skin could be distributed through a battle pass, additional progress tier, the Item Shop, a freebie earnable through in-game quests, or an entirely new concept.
While Fortnite may be quoting the B1 battle droid from Star Wars with its recent post, the "Roger, Roger" could also be referencing an existing military character like Munitions Major or Plastic Patroller. Given that it's currently unclear when Fortnite and Star Wars will collaborate next, fans may be waiting for a while before getting their hands on the skin if the rumors are true.
Fortnite is available now for Mac, Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
