Long story short, before rise of Skywalker there was a Fortnite event that featured emperor Palpatine sending a message to the universe that he was back. It never happened in the movies. Rise of Skywalker’s opening scrolling text talks about this message from Palpatine. It was all just a crummy afterthought.
I always wonder if it would have been awesome if the last Jedi ended with this instead of it popping up in Fortnite. Maybe it wouldn’t have felt like a stupid afterthought. Though clearly that’s what it was.
Don’t forget, “if you don’t play Fortnite, you’re going to miss important exposition”.
I’m going to need some help with this one…

This means episode 9 really is “made X from fortnite real”. It’s a 2 hour addition to a fortnite event. It makes so much sense now! crazed laughter
I would have been more forgiving if it were just a part of the Fortnite event.
Shit gets cut from movies all the time. No reason to be upset.
Nobody’s upset here buddy.
I’m not your buddy, friend.
I’m not your friend, pal!
Me too.

Wait, did Palpatine canonically escape the Fortnite dimension?
Like… that’s the ‘somehow he returned?’
They explain it in the movie, he force jumped between bodies.
But yeah the contents of the message they steal in the begining isn’t played anywhere except in Fortnite
Fortnite is in Star Wars. They just haven’t been to that planet yet in the show.
Can’t wait to see Rey discover the remains of an ancient battlebus.
Lol I forgot about that
