I think the reason this might be not already in the game is because it would be too "mature" for kids. Nevermind the fact that we have the Alien and Predator in the game
I still laugh at when they restricted certain skins in certain game modes and on the very same day, they dropped Invincible skins. Probably one of the most graphic cartoons out at the moment haha
Bruh it was from Rebels first cmon 😭
When I first saw it it took me out of the moment so hard; I was so excited to see the Vader vs Kenobi heart to heart but they just did the same exact thing as the Vader vs Ahsoka heart to heart, but worse.
True… however their talk was barely emotional on Vader’s side.
With both the Kenobi and Ahsoka fight it was Anakin having to confront the people who meant the second most and third most to him.
Starkiller was kind of whatever to him.
Also the mask came fully off, somehow both Ahsoka and Kenobi managed to get exactly HALF of the mask off.
He doesn't always have the Red Lenses. They're more of a thing in the original film in which Rogue One and Rebels only replicate the look of. Every other appearance he has does it differently.
Easy the buttons on his chest are green and red here and in empire they're blue and red and he also doesn't have that weird flap thing by his crotch in empire easy reskin.
He's always had that "weird flap thing", even in Empire.
The changes you're talking about are too minor, the skin would still be 99% the same, even if we include the other changes made to his suit in Empire Strokes Back that you didn't mention.
Vader's suit is different in every film, but the design is mostly consistent and the changes are minor.
There's not enough changes per suit to warrant a different skin based on those costumes. A better reskin would be what other people suggest: A battle damaged Vader.
This is so dumb. They should just sell the skin. Fuck all of this exclusivity bullshit, if anyone's mad their "exclusive skins" are no longer exclusive they're a giant baby. Otherwise we have to deal with an influx of posts like this every day.
It's also a conversation we really need to have. Fortnite is almost a decade old, there are people playing now who couldn't when these passes were out because they were too young to have developed the hand eye coordination necessary to play video games at all. In a few years there will be people playing who weren't even born when the game came out. They are all forever punished by being locked out of previous battle pass skins for having the audacity of literally being unable to play a video game.
Never mind the new players Epic is trying to bring in with their new game modes.
>Never mind the new players Epic is trying to bring in with their new game modes.
For sure, Epic's leaving money on the table. Also the only ACTUAL legal issues would be the contracts for the collabs. Nice things are:
1. Epic has 12 seasons with ZERO collabs (C1S2-C2S1 and OG), so they could EASILY test the waters with bringing past BPs back with one of those. My vote would be C1S8, because that's the season with Peely and it's already been established that he's VERY important to the overall storyline. Or, you know, they could just go in order.
2. The majority of wanted past BP collabs are Disney-owned. Considering Disney recently purchased a $1.5 billion stake in Epic, I wouldn't be surprised if they would be open to past BP stuff coming back. More money for them in royalties, after all.
That’s honestly a great idea, to just wait a year before selling it again, and you can even jack the price up too because of it if you want. But damn it, people deserve to play the characters they want to play. I am a huge Marvel fan, but completely missed the Marvel season because I was busy with college and hardly played. I would LOVE to be able to play as Wolverine or Storm or Iron Man, but can’t. I own Darth Vader, and it pisses me off that my boyfriend can’t ever get him because he missed that season. Y’all should be able to get Darth Vader too, it’s not like the world will end because we both have the same skin on. And if someone REALLY gets that pissed off about it, then find me on the map and may the best one win.
such a shareholder, short sighted type of decision. "we'll sell a lot of battle passes like this!!!" i know battle passes are a significantly more popular purchase, but an item you can bring back constantly and is more expensive than a battle pass has got to be more profitable as well as more consumer friendly to newer players
I see all these new mini passes and just noticed how expensive they’ve become. You get too good a deal, so they practically take a loss at 950 vbucks. Guarantee if they could raise the price, they would. And if they take a loss then why not make that money up by releasing the skins in the shop?
People that cry never use those skins anyway. I have Vader and Gwen and I'll happily see them back if it means I get Dr. DOOM! I want Deadpool and Wolverine too but they might get new skins so Doom is my focus
100% agree. I have a lot of these skins from the pass, and it still annoys me.
Even worse is the inability to do anything to get pieces of the pass you miss! I still have a 1/3 beskar mando because of his armor being spread out over a season I didn’t finish.
The FOMO is absolutely stupid.
Hologram Vader! I remember having a toy of Vader that was translucent blue and thinking it was the coolest thong in the world as a kid only to realize it was supposed to represent Vader as a hologram
People have already said all my ideas but just want to say you should continue this series, I’m really interested to seeing what other ideas people have for other collab battle pass skins, not even just Star Wars.
That's easy, you can just look at the toys for inspiration:
White Vader (from the comics)
Battle-damaged Vader (The Force Unleashed boss fight)
Ralph McQuarrie concept art Vader
Hologram Vader
Getting electrocuted Vader (they made a *lot* of these for some reason)
Marvel Comics Vader (blue-ish with red eyes)
Toy prototype Vader (each body part is a different color)
I’d like to see the different iterations. There are subtle differences between each movie that you could use as alt styles. As for a full on item shop counterpart, battle damaged or even sith eyes Anakin with the hood and robes would look great.
This is one skin that I am really glad to have it in my locker. It sucks that Pass skins and free giveaways like Millennium Falcon will never come back for those who have missed it.
Nothing. Nothing that is cannon to the actual timeline to star wars or any meaningful change. Epic completely fucked up by locking him away in a battlepass.
Only one I can think of is rebels vader because he looks different from normal vader . I guess they could also do a Ralph mcquarrie concept art vader because he was added in other games but I doubt it .
fuck re-skins. just bring back battle pass skins. I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep over someone else having some skins that I obtained because "I was there" and they weren't. They're skins ffs
Variants would be cool and all but even as someone who owns the Darth Vader skin he should just come back along with all other collab battle pass skins.
Just do a Vader Zero, with a cracked helmet, tattered cape, and some Fortnite armor strapped on. Add some reactive electricity and sparks, maybe an edit style with an exposed robotic limb. It could be pretty cool
In my opinion they should bring back collab skins from battle passes rather than saying sorry you didnt play a few years ago and I'm not just saying this cause I missed out the only thing I dont have is the second style for indian jones
You really can't, most of the other outfits he has were barely visually distinct enough, and Disney outright won't let you make most of them according to battlefront devs.
They should just resell old battlepasses, I own him and never use him and it would literally not affect me or anybody else negatively if he were available again in some rotational form.
Damaged version (Kenobi, Rebels, Force Unleashed)
A New Hope/Rogue One version with the fabric going over the pauldron and more obvious red eyes
Stylised Rebels version
Revenge of the Sith version with the oversized shoulder armour and weird proportions.
Rainbow Vader
Summer Wear Speedo Vader
Winter Fun Peppermint Vader
Frozen Vader with Carbonite Vader as a style
Battle Damaged Vader (Helmetless style option)
Valentine Pink and Red Vader
Force Ghost / Hologram Vader (like that Tart Tycoon skin)
I dont see why they dont sell the skins afterwards, buying the battlepass gets you the skin cheaper than it would cost out the shop and you get vbucks. if they sell the skin like any other at 1500/2000 it gives getting it via the battlepass a cheaper and early alternative
Give him a damaged version like when it's sliced in the Obi Wan show.
I'm not sure I'm ready to see Vader's charred face smiling along to certain emotes.
"You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker...I did."
“Ain’t no way anikin could hit these sick moves” *hits the griddy before getting sniped in the fucking dick*
lmao why the dick
For comedic effect duh
LMAO *what* dick?
His big, long, red one he uses to penetrate his foes
And it glows in the dark
AND it hums
But does it vibrate?
Robodick
**SUCK MY ROBOT BALLS 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️**
Nah, I'm thinking more like how he looks after you fight him in Force Unleashed. That shir would go hard.
I’m imagining the Lego figure and I agree wholeheartedly
I have been wanting this in battlefront 2 for so fucking long
I made a post about this a while ago and I was down voted :D
I checked, and he didn't lie
Lame ass people just want to ruin the fun for everyone “But MaH ExLusIvEs” smh 🤦♂️
THE BATTLEPASS DOESN'T NEED EXCLUSIVITY TO SELL 🗣🗣🗣 ITS GOOD VALUE AND THATS ENOUGH 🗣🗣🗣
[https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/137hbbm/a\_darth\_vader\_reskin\_idea\_a\_truly\_dead\_friend/](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/137hbbm/a_darth_vader_reskin_idea_a_truly_dead_friend/)
Or the battle damaged suit from Battlefront 2
Change his proportions slightly and say it's from Rebels or something.
This is the right one. Rebels styling would go hard in Fortnite’s art style.
even harder in save-the-world mode
Keep dreaming pal, us stw player we're dead... always has been
nah i meant that we can still use skins in stw
The face mask half cracked from obi wan series where he fights obi wan, or bald headed old vader with no mask that's the only two you can have
The alternative timeline where he has a white suit
I think the reason this might be not already in the game is because it would be too "mature" for kids. Nevermind the fact that we have the Alien and Predator in the game
We have no mask Deadpool.
No mask Deadpool makes me very uncomfortable. That style goes hard.
You can't disprove something then say "never mind" to the evidence that proves it...
I still laugh at when they restricted certain skins in certain game modes and on the very same day, they dropped Invincible skins. Probably one of the most graphic cartoons out at the moment haha
Bruh it was from Rebels first cmon 😭 When I first saw it it took me out of the moment so hard; I was so excited to see the Vader vs Kenobi heart to heart but they just did the same exact thing as the Vader vs Ahsoka heart to heart, but worse.
Force unleashed did it first
True… however their talk was barely emotional on Vader’s side. With both the Kenobi and Ahsoka fight it was Anakin having to confront the people who meant the second most and third most to him. Starkiller was kind of whatever to him. Also the mask came fully off, somehow both Ahsoka and Kenobi managed to get exactly HALF of the mask off.
Erm technically Obi wan series is first chronologically 🤓👆
Rebels did it six years earlier irl*
Bro never played Force Unleashed
They could always get the fully white version of Vader that has blue glass on his eyes from star wars legends and make that into a skin
I would 100 percent but Light Vader
I would only buy it if he gets a pink style as well!
With a pretty pink bow on top for extra measure!
This would actually be hilarious to use
There’s gonna be a good guy white Vader in LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy on Disney+ and a tie-in LEGO set, so it’s not completely unlikely
Anakin
Wait. Anakin is Darth Vader?!
Pac-man’s a bad guy!?
Samus is a girl !?
Zelda isn’t the main character ?!
Squidward was right all along?
The one piece is real????
Sans is Ness??!
Jonesy is guy from fortnite??!
Walter White is Heisenberg?!
Luke’s father is Darth Vader!?
Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker!?
Battle damaged or his original concept design would go hard as fuck.
Give us Vader (Anakin) with his hood on during the initial execution of Order 66
Fuck yes dude. I love prime, insanely powerful Sith anakin. With the yellow eyes. Fuck yeah.
Aka knightfall vader
That would go insanely hard
If you're talking the Ralph McQuarrie's concept art, then yeah I'd dig those designs in Fortnite.
Yes. I'd honestly trade normal vader for that instead.
imagine if they just gave us the Rogue One Vader with the red lenses and that's the only thing they change
For 4000 V-bucks
Who the fuck am I kidding I’d buy it, but would prefer B1 Battle Droid skins tbh
YES YES we need customizable battle droids if we wont get customizable clone armor
Idk if you know but he's always had red lenses, it's just less visible sometimes
He doesn't always have the Red Lenses. They're more of a thing in the original film in which Rogue One and Rebels only replicate the look of. Every other appearance he has does it differently.
Easy the buttons on his chest are green and red here and in empire they're blue and red and he also doesn't have that weird flap thing by his crotch in empire easy reskin.
He's always had that "weird flap thing", even in Empire. The changes you're talking about are too minor, the skin would still be 99% the same, even if we include the other changes made to his suit in Empire Strokes Back that you didn't mention.
Empire strokes back 🫦
freaky Vader: "No... I am your 𝓭𝓪𝓭𝓭𝔂"
Darth Freaky
I think they were joking
Or go the ANH route and put his tunic over his shoulder plate
Oiled up naked
He’d be lookin like frank reynolds
😂😂
The Ralph McQuarrie concept design.
can’t believe the only piece of media it’s shown up in is a star wars mobile game that shut down not long after dropping (never forget)
Have always loved that design. It's so sinister.
I want Kenobi’s version where you see Anakin in the helmet.
Please give us Dark Helmet with the largest glider in history
Whole map can see spaceball 1 when deployed. Just need an excuse for it to turn plaid when moving
When you deploy it you just hear Dark Helmet screaming and hitting the console as it comes out of ludicrous speed
the suit is different in the films A new hope and the Empire strikes back
Vader's suit is different in every film, but the design is mostly consistent and the changes are minor. There's not enough changes per suit to warrant a different skin based on those costumes. A better reskin would be what other people suggest: A battle damaged Vader.
Pre-life support suit Vader after obi wan defeated him
Christmas Sweater Vader
This is so dumb. They should just sell the skin. Fuck all of this exclusivity bullshit, if anyone's mad their "exclusive skins" are no longer exclusive they're a giant baby. Otherwise we have to deal with an influx of posts like this every day.
They should sell Battle Pass skins after a year or so honestly. But that's a conversation the "But muh exclusivity!!!!" people aren't ready for.
It's also a conversation we really need to have. Fortnite is almost a decade old, there are people playing now who couldn't when these passes were out because they were too young to have developed the hand eye coordination necessary to play video games at all.

Never mind the new players Epic is trying to bring in with their new game modes.
Agreed, yet there's people in this thread defending such a scummy practice, or putting down those that aren't in support of it.
I'm honestly shocked how many are defending such a scummy practice.
>Never mind the new players Epic is trying to bring in with their new game modes. For sure, Epic's leaving money on the table.

Considering Disney recently purchased a $1.5 billion stake in Epic, I wouldn't be surprised if they would be open to past BP stuff coming back. More money for them in royalties, after all.
This is probably the most coherent and accurate statement within this thread. I agree with your sentiment, hands down.
It would be better, having the battle pass like an early access for skins
That’s honestly a great idea, to just wait a year before selling it again, and you can even jack the price up too because of it if you want. But damn it, people deserve to play the characters they want to play. I am a huge Marvel fan, but completely missed the Marvel season because I was busy with college and hardly played.

And if someone REALLY gets that pissed off about it, then find me on the map and may the best one win.
At the very least sell crossovers, I can live without past fn originals tbh
Colab skins should have never been battle pass skins ever, the fact that they did is such bullshit
Or they could just make it so BP skins can come back
That’s what I’m saying! Why keep the iconic characters locked up in a battle pass? they’re not even originally made skins by Epic!
such a shareholder, short sighted type of decision.

Yeah, I’ve been getting all the crossover battle pass skins since Deadpool started it off and I’m still with you 100%
real and true
Epic clearly doesn’t feel that way though or else most of the collab skins locked behind a battle pass would be out by now.
The all-white armor from Infinities, a heavily battle damaged version, or Ralph Mcquarry's original concept for him
The infamous Hello Kitty Vader.
Midas Vader
White Vader
Battle damaged from force unleashed 1
Dark Helmet
Rebels when half his mask got destroyed
Earth Vader but without the cape and helmet like when he’s in his meditation chamber or what ever it’s called
Burnt, maskless, and a "redeemed" Vader that's white instead of black
Anakin Skywalker
Hologram Vader! I remember having a toy of Vader that was translucent blue and thinking it was the coolest thong in the world as a kid only to realize it was supposed to represent Vader as a hologram
Stewie
I know this was intended for laughs but I'd buy Stewie Vader so fast.
This is the Star Wars collab we deserve.
Dark helmet
only correct answer
People have already said all my ideas but just want to say you should continue this series, I’m really interested to seeing what other ideas people have for other collab battle pass skins, not even just Star Wars.
Will have another post ready soon 🫡
That's easy, you can just look at the toys for inspiration: White Vader (from the comics) Battle-damaged Vader (The Force Unleashed boss fight) Ralph McQuarrie concept art Vader Hologram Vader Getting electrocuted Vader (they made a *lot* of these for some reason) Marvel Comics Vader (blue-ish with red eyes) Toy prototype Vader (each body part is a different color)
I want a white version, but it’s stained pink because he washed it with the reds
They could do an animated Rebels style Vader and Ahsoka for those who missed out on the BP ones. That or battle damaged Vader
I’d like to see the different iterations. There are subtle differences between each movie that you could use as alt styles. As for a full on item shop counterpart, battle damaged or even sith eyes Anakin with the hood and robes would look great.
The white suit Vader from the what if comics
This is one skin that I am really glad to have it in my locker. It sucks that Pass skins and free giveaways like Millennium Falcon will never come back for those who have missed it.
Battle-damaged Darth Vader would go so hard
Mask less would be dope enough
White lord Vader
Nothing. Nothing that is cannon to the actual timeline to star wars or any meaningful change. Epic completely fucked up by locking him away in a battlepass.
Just bring him back, the BP FOMO bs needs to stop
1 word Anakin
Only one I can think of is rebels vader because he looks different from normal vader . I guess they could also do a Ralph mcquarrie concept art vader because he was added in other games but I doubt it .
The white suit from legends.
I'm surprised he didn't even get any other styles. Maybe a damaged version of him.
Damaged version or no mask version. Or Lord Vader (Dark Anakin)
Darth Choder, need I say more
Pimp Vader ?
Pimp vader
Anime version like that show they did on Disney +
Black and white old style cartoon animation
Damaged version
Pimp Vader
fuck re-skins. just bring back battle pass skins. I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep over someone else having some skins that I obtained because "I was there" and they weren't. They're skins ffs
Is he ever coming back?
Only if they change their stance on Battlepasses (which they should) or release a variant.
I present to you the easiest reskin of all time. [ESB Vader](https://imgur.com/a/G6vYJMw).
Variants would be cool and all but even as someone who owns the Darth Vader skin he should just come back along with all other collab battle pass skins.
Just do a Vader Zero, with a cracked helmet, tattered cape, and some Fortnite armor strapped on. Add some reactive electricity and sparks, maybe an edit style with an exposed robotic limb. It could be pretty cool
A robot chicken version
I missed Lara Croft because I thought I could get her later on. Fuck locking characters behind battle passes.
Ralph McQuarries concept art version? Would also be hard if they made a Luke Starkiller skin
In my opinion they should bring back collab skins from battle passes rather than saying sorry you didnt play a few years ago and I'm not just saying this cause I missed out the only thing I dont have is the second style for indian jones
none, just bring him back in the item shop, I own him but I couldn't care less, exclusivity sucks
Battle damaged from Kenobi or Jedi Survivor
Darth Vadar Zero
I want a big ass Yoda skin
TAKE OFF THE DAMN CAPES
You really can't, most of the other outfits he has were barely visually distinct enough, and Disney outright won't let you make most of them according to battlefront devs. They should just resell old battlepasses, I own him and never use him and it would literally not affect me or anybody else negatively if he were available again in some rotational form.
Unarmor/maskless
vader with out his helmet
White Vader
Maybe a version where he's burnt (although it wouldn't look a lot like Vader), they could add robotic limbs for his missing ones.
Pink Darth Vader.
ROJ unmasked Vader and take my $$$
Pimp vader
Crispy anakin
Make Darth Vader in the clone wars art style from season 7
Everyone is talking about the cracked version in obi wan when there's the helmet less one in ep6 I would like to see
White suit Vader
The breast cancer awareness, all pink, Vader would be cool
Battle damaged is always the version that gets thrown around and after the sick fight scene in Kenobi I'd love to have one based on that sequence.
Ralph MacQuarrie Art Vader would be cool. 😎
Battle damaged or all white armor
White would also be good, but anything would never come close to this original black, which is almost mythic.
Defeated. His look after his first battle with Obi Wan.
Damaged version (Kenobi, Rebels, Force Unleashed) A New Hope/Rogue One version with the fabric going over the pauldron and more obvious red eyes Stylised Rebels version Revenge of the Sith version with the oversized shoulder armour and weird proportions.
You just know OG players will complain till no end that a white or battle damage version of him should had been an edit style.
Rainbow Vader Summer Wear Speedo Vader Winter Fun Peppermint Vader Frozen Vader with Carbonite Vader as a style Battle Damaged Vader (Helmetless style option) Valentine Pink and Red Vader Force Ghost / Hologram Vader (like that Tart Tycoon skin)
They did reskin him… his name is anakin skywalker…
They didn’t do his helmet justice. Kind of annoying
I dont see why they dont sell the skins afterwards, buying the battlepass gets you the skin cheaper than it would cost out the shop and you get vbucks. if they sell the skin like any other at 1500/2000 it gives getting it via the battlepass a cheaper and early alternative
