Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3 will have a Star Wars theme. However, it might not offer as much as the franchise's fans want.

Star Wars Is Getting A Mini Season

Why won't it offer as much as the franchise's fans want? Because Star Wars is only getting a mini season. This means that the pass will only be available for approximately a month before being replaced with the Chapter 6, Season 4 Pass. The shorter timespan also means there's less stuff to unlock.

Star Wars Updates Dates

Leakers were also able to uncover the dates of multiple updates that will be released during Chapter 6, Season 3 - the first one will kick off the season on May 2, and the others will presumably add new content.

Mixed Responses

Fortnite's community had mixed responses to the announcement of the mini pass - the ones who aren't that enthusiastic about a Star Wars season are glad it's not staying for too long, but fans of the franchise are disappointed that they'll get a much smaller pass.

Here's what community members said on various Fortnite subreddits:

I’m cool with it being a shorter season. I enjoyed the previous Marvel season, but I felt that it overstayed its welcome a little bit. I think a little over a month is pretty much perfect to have plenty of Star Wars fun without it getting stale - u/presidentdinosaur115
Yeah this is perfect for collabs, and it opens the door for more niche collabs down the line that you couldn’t justify doing a full season for. I wouldn’t mind them doing more mini seasons that are unrelated to collabs, too - u/SoDamnGeneric
Mini season sucks because there will be only 4 skins in the battle pass - u/Ravdar_
We're living in a worst timeline ever, where og season is longer than presumptive Star Wars season that is gonna be only month long - u/Klutzy-Ad7775

What do you think about the Star Wars theme? Do you wish it would stay longer or are you satisfied with the mini pass?
