Darth Jar Jar is officially the hardest jedi to unlock in Fortnite, requiring players to earn 1.28 million XP prior to gaining access to the sith lord in the shop. The XP must be obtained between May 16 to Jun 6 to unlock the ability to purchase. The cosmetic costs 1,500 V-Bucks, which is roughly $13.
Purchasing Darth Jar Jar grants the following styles:
- Default
- Hood off
- Cape off
Outside of the extra styles alongside the typical Lego iteration, no additional accessories are included with the purchase. Fortnite’s Darth Jar Jar wears a scowl uncharacteristic of the character in the canonical universe, drawing inspiration from fan theories regarding the character where Jar Jar is speculated to have been the true sith lord controlling all the happenings of the universe.
The character being locked behind XP is not unprecedented, since Epic has done a similar pattern in the past. But this marks the first time a heavily marketed character has been locked behind XP progression – Darth Jar Jar was highlighted on major promotional trailers and visuals.
The Star Wars collaboration has two more major updates coming, with the next being “Mandalorian Rising.” The update arrives on May 22, and “Star Destroyer Bombardment” lands on May 29. This all leads up to the ultimate “Death Star Sabotage” on June 7.
