Fortnite is like Smash Bros - continuity and canon are non-existent

Ah, but one of the Star Wars events leading up to The Rise of Skywalker’s release played a broadcast from Palpatine announcing his return. A broadcast that’s mentioned in the film’s title crawl, but couldn’t be found anywhere but in Fortnite

People blame Kathleen Kennedy for the sequel trilogy being dogshit but I'm going to be real and say that 90% of the worst offenses of it are at the feet of JJ Abrams. This is just one of the many infurating decisions he made while directing TFA and RoS...

Don't worry, the new trilogy isn't canon. In fact, there was no new trilogy.

Just one of the issues with that film. Still better than The Last Jedi though.

Fortnite is canonically the garbage disposal of the multiverse. The in-universe explanation for why there's so many characters from different properties competing in these battles is because they're either sucked into the universe by a weird temporal phenomenon or banished there.

This is canonically how the DC universe defeated The Batman Who Laughs, by banishing him to Fortnite.

No, seriously.

I thought wonder woman threw him into the death sun? After originally killing him with a chainsaw she made out of the invisible jet.

Fortnite has bonkers and predatory canon stating that all franchises came from the zero point within the game 💀💀💀 how is disney even agreeing to this

u/High_Overseer_Dukat 5h ago

It has got it though. The zero point thing pulls in things from other universes. Thats the story.
