Lucasfilm Announces ‘The Ninth Jedi’ Spinoff Series, Sets Fortnite Galactic Battle Season


LucasFilm announced the release date of Star Wars: Visions Volume 3, along with a new spinoff series The Ninth Jedi, and collaboration with Fortnite.

In that episode, Kara — the daughter of lightsaber-smith Juro — is pursued by dark forces while on a dangerous mission to deliver newly crafted lightsabers. Kamiyama previewed that Visions Volume 3 episode “Child of Hope” will continue the Kara and Juro story, ending with her departure to look for her father. Meanwhile, the Fortnite news was announced via a new trailer that teases a Star Wars themed Battle Pass with characters like Emperor Palpatine, new Item Shop offerings like Mace Windu, themed map locations, weekly gameplay content and culminates in a live end-of-season narrative event after the five-part saga runs through early June.
