Obi-Wan Kenobi In Fortnite
May the Force be with you, my friend! Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 has already brought us a few exciting crossovers... and it's also far from the first time that a character from the Star Wars universe has found his way into the game.
Nevertheless, it feels like people are more hyped about Obi-Wan Kenobi. It's probably nostalgia kicking in, because most of us grew up with the Star Wars prequels. Anyway, the following items and accessories will definitely be in the game:

On Sunday, May 22, you'll have the chance to earn the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" Outfit and the "Desert Essentials" Back Bling before anyone else. You don't have to do this quest alone, though, because the Obi-Wan Kenobi Cup will be a Battle Royale Duos tournament.
As befits Star Wars, Lightsabers and E-11 Blaster Rifles will also be available for use in this tournament. You can easily find out when the event will begin in your region by checking the competition tab in your game. Furthermore, the official rules for the Obi-Wan Kenobi Cup can be found on the Fortnite website.
Do you plan to rise to the challenge, or is your name Obi-Wan Kenobi and you just hide from your opponents? Maybe both your participation in the Cup and the finale of the Mini Disney series will have a happy ending...
