Fortnite released a new Star Wars update with the V24.30 update. This update adds purchasable Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala skins to the Item Shop. In addition, thanks to the new Star Wars Battle Pass, you can also get the Darth Maul skin. But the question is, will there be new Star Wars skins added to Fortnite like Darth Vader, Palpatine, or Count Dooku? In this article, we will talk about the skins and events that can be released during Fortnite Star Wars update 2023. Of course, you have to remember that these are only based on a few leaks and are mostly speculation.
Is Darth Vader Skin Coming Back to Fortnite?
There is no leak or information on Darth Vader coming back to the store as a purchasable skin. According to the famous Fortnite leaker @iFireMonkey, Darth Vader will make his return as a boss in Fortnite around May 15th. He’ll have the 501st Troopers protecting him like before.
Will Be There Order 66 at the Fortnite Star Wars Event?
Also, according to iFireMonkey, Clone Trooper camps have been “Enabled”. This means that Palpatine can command Order 66 in the future and turn the Clone Troopers on the island into hostiles.

Is Count Dooku and Palpatine Skins Coming to Fortnite?
While there is still no official word on new skins, according to Fortnite leaker @Wenso, two different Star Wars skins are currently in the pipeline. Darth Maul is coded as “CirrusVine” in the Fortnite files, and two other skins with similar codenames “AuricVine” and “HornettaVine” have been revealed. So it is very likely that these two skins being worked on will be Star Wars themed. The overwhelming majority believe that these two skins are Count Dooku and Palpatine.
We will be getting more Star Wars skins soon!
