The Obi-Wan Kenobi outfit will try to look just like the original, thanks to the creative heads of Fortnite. Also, the man behind the character, Ewan McGregor, will be added to the family because of his skin. Apart from that, there will be a few other items in the shop, like a desert back bling, Obi-Wan’s blade pickaxe, a Jedi interceptor glider, an obi-wan-inspired emote, and a fancy loading screen.
