Unlike a typical Fortnite season, where most content drops at launch or during a mid-season update, the Star Wars-themed season is taking a different approach. This time, new NPCs, story content, and powerful weapons are being rolled out gradually throughout the month, keeping the experience fresh week after week. If you’re curious about what’s coming and when, here’s a detailed Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 event schedule for all the Star Wars fans out there.
1. Guided by the Force
- Release Date: May 8
- New Weapons: Purple Lightsaber, Force Pull, Red Lightsabers, and Force Throw
- New NPCs: Leia, Luke, Han Solo, Darth Maul, and Mace Windu
A major shift in the gameplay will begin next week in Fortnite as Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker arrive on the Island, teaming up with Han Solo to assist players during battle. Alongside them, hologram Mace Windu appears to offer training.
Complete it to earn a Purple Lightsaber and unlock Force Pull, allowing you to draw enemies or objects toward you. Darth Maul also joins the scene in hologram form, handing out Red Lightsabers and teaching Force Throw, which lets you launch nearby items as deadly projectiles.
2. Chewie Joins the Fight
- Release Date: May 15
- New Weapons: Wookiee Bowcaster and CA-87 Jawa Scatter Blaster
- New NPCs: Chewbacca
Chewbacca will enter the battlefield to support the Rebel cause, armed with his signature Wookiee Bowcaster—a powerful energy weapon perfect for mid-range combat. Players can also discover the CA-87 Jawa Scatter Blaster in chests across the Island.
This shotgun-style blaster makes its first appearance in Fortnite and packs a serious punch at close range. These will add more firepower to the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 weapons list.
3. Rise of the Mandalorian
- Release Date: May 22
- New Weapons: Amban Sniper Rifle and WESTAR-34 Dual Blaster Pistols
- New NPCs: Heavy, Scout, Supply, and Medic Mandalorian
The Mandalorians make their presence known later this month, and players can recruit different Mandalorian allies: Heavy, Scout, Supply, or Medic. With them will come the return of the Mandalorian Jetpack, allowing for high mobility during combat.
Look out for classic Mandalorian gear as well, including the Amban Sniper Rifle and the all-new WESTAR-34 Dual Blaster Pistols, ideal for fast-paced firefights.
4. Star Destroyer Bombardment
- Release Date: May 29
- New Weapons: Star Destroyer’s turbolaser
- New NPCs: Unknown
Prepare for a high-stakes twist—players will be able to take control of a Star Destroyer’s turbolaser during matches. One portal per game leads to the ship’s control room. Reach it first, and you’ll be able to unleash devastating firepower from above, changing the course of any battle. It arrives as the Death Star comes closer to the BR island.
5. The Final Showdown: Death Star Sabotage
- Release Date: June 7
- New Weapons: Unknown
