Everything we know about Darth Jar Jar Binks coming to Fortnite
Jar Jar Binks is unquestionably one of the most disliked characters across the entire Star Wars franchise. This 'Gungan' debuted in the much-maligned Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. However, fans over the years have conjured up the idea of Darth Jar Jar to give him a fighting chance.
That dream will become a reality on May 2, when Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3: Galactic Battle goes live. In addition to weekly updates and a live narrative event, this season's Battle Pass will contain the fan-created Darth Jar Jar.
While it may seem like a fever dream, this is a reality. Darth Jar Jar enters Fortnite alongside Mace Windu and Emperor Palpatine via the Season 3 teaser trailer. Other skins confirmed to join the game during the Star Wars season include Poe Dameron, Captain Phasma, and some Fortnite x Star Wars hybrids.
Here is a complete list of confirmed skins per HYPEX:
- Jar Jar
- Palpatine
- Mace Windu
- Mandalorian
- Poe Dameron
- Captain Phasma
- Sith/Jedi Evie Remix

HYPEX later confirmed that there will be two edit styles, so if you are one of the few Jar Jar fans, you will have the chance to play as the bumbling Gungan.
