Star Wars' Ahsoka Tano Is Coming to Fortnite

Star Wars legend Ahsoka Tano looks set to join the ever growing cast of Fortnite, after making a brief appearance in the cinematic trailer for Chapter 4, Season 4 of the battle royale shooter, titled Last Resort, ahead of its Aug. 25 launch.


Despite being a big enough name to warrant her own Disney+ series, Ahsoka Tano made but the briefest of appearances in the closing seconds of the latest Fortnite trailer, lurking at the back of a lineup showing what appear to be the latest skins included in the Season 4 Battle Pass.


Past seasons have seen Fortnite incorporate a dizzying array of characters from a diverse range of popular franchises. We’ve seen everyone from John Wick to Thanos, and even the demogorgon from Stranger Things drop onto the constantly changing island.

Numerous characters from a galaxy far, far away have already made the leap as well from across the Star Wars timeline, including Kylo Ren, Darth Maul, and, awkwardly, Ahsoka’s old master-turned-nemesis Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.

The announcement of this latest Star Wars skin has been timed to coincide closely with the Aug. 22 premiere of the Ahsoka Disney+ series, which stars Rosario Dawson as the titular jedi.
