Boba Fett to come to 'Fortnite' on Dec. 24

Epic Games / Disney

While we're getting a Naruto collaboration real soon, another potentially iconic Fortnite crossover is coming on Christmas Eve. Star Wars' Boba Fett will be coming to the game on December 24, the weekend before The Book of Boba Fett debuts on Disney+ on December 29. Epic Games will be adding the bounty hunter to the game at 7 PM ET. And the teaser art for this crossover shows Fett's partner Fennec Shand, so we're assuming she'll make an appearance, too.

Epic hasn't shared what's coming then, but we can assume we're getting skins of both characters and more items. We'll make sure to update when we hear more.

Disney+ show 'Ahsoka' tipped to have Hayden Christensen, too

Lucasfilm

Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the prequels, is already set to reprise his role in next year's Obi-Wan Kenobi show with Ewan McGregor. But aside from that, there are rumours that he will also be reprising his role in the upcoming Disney+ series Ahsoka. It won't be much of a surprise to see him there, given that Ahsoka Tano was Anakin Skywalker's padawan. What isn't clear is how he'll fit into the story.

Ahsoka takes place five years after the events in Return of the Jedi, but Vader dies in that film, so we're wondering how he'll fit into the story. Perhaps as a flashback or a Force ghost? Rosario Dawson will be reprising her role as Ahsoka, which she played in The Mandalorian. Dave Filoni will write the story and serve as an executive producer alongside Jon Favreau. The series will kick off production in 2022.

Disney will be releasing one more Star Wars series before the year ends. The media giant will be debuting The Book of Boba Fett on December 29 over at Disney+. The Mandalorian spin-off will take place after recent events in season two. It'll follow Boba Fett (played by Temeura Morrison) and his mercenary ally Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) in Tatooine. The series is still led by producers of The Mandalorian, including Jon Favreau, Robert Rodriguez, and Kathleen Kennedy. Unfortunately, if you're waiting for the next season of The Mandalorian, that third season will arrive after The Book of Boba Fett.
