Fortnite might bring back Lightsabers and Imperial Storm Trooper NPCs on May 4, 2022

May 4th is a big day for Star Wars fans around the world. It is also the perfect occasion for Fortnite to bring back the Lightsabers and Imperial Storm Trooper NPCs.

As per HYPEX, Lightsabers' effects have been updated but they aren't present in the files as Mythic weapons.

The leaker added that the next update in Chapter 3 Season 2 should ideally arrive on May 4, 2022. It wouldn't be a surprise if Lightsabers as well as the Imperial Storm Trooper NPCs are a part of the upcoming patch.

It is worth noting that these aren't the first leaks to hint towards the return of Lightsabers. Leakers discovered them in the files almost a month ago, and fans have been excited ever since.

Lightsabers in Fortnite deal 45 damage and can also block bullets. These energy swords are vulnerable against fast firing weapons and it will be interesting to see if they will be dominant in Chapter 3's 'Spray and Pray' meta.

Will Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 be Star Wars themed?

Prominent leakers like ShiinaBR have confirmed that Darth Vader will be a boss on the island during Chapter 3 Season 3. Naturally, he will have a Mythic weapon that Loopers will be able to obtain after defeating him.

Such leaks have compelled fans to think that Chapter 3 Season 3 will be all about Star Wars. While some players are expecting Chewbacca and C-3PO in the Battle Pass, others wish to see Fortress Vader on the map.

The first two seasons of Chapter 3 revolved around the Zero Point storyline, and a crossover season seems like the ideal way to mix things up.

However, it is too early to assume the theme of the next season. As of now, players are looking forward to the return of Star Wars skins, Lightsabers, and more.
