Fortnite Fans Propose Intriguing Idea for Lightsaber Pickaxes

Man, you ever get into one of those wild discussions online, like on Reddit or something, where someone just throws out the most random idea and it kinda sticks with you? Yeah, so there’s this Fortnite player, right, who had this idea about adding some toy lightsabers to the game. You know, not the real deal but like prop ones, for pickaxes. Honestly, I thought about it later and it kinda makes sense. I mean, it’s not like Epic Games is clueless. But still, why haven’t they done it yet?

So, Fortnite’s been having this whole Star Wars moment. They call it the Galactic Battle season. Big collaboration vibes here, blasters, actual lightsabers, you name it. You can fly around in a Tie Fighter or X-Wing like you’re in a scene from: “The Empire Strikes Back” — or wait, maybe the newer ones like “The Force Awakens”? Ugh, whatever, you know what I mean.

But, back to the lightsaber idea. Saw this suggestion by Full-Bake3943. He shared a post — yeah, with one of those plastic lightsabers in it — saying these should totally be pickaxes. And folks are pretty much nodding along, like “yes, please.” Maybe Epic’s just playing hard to get? Or… is there a licensing thing? Who can say? Comment sections are a goldmine, though. Someone’s even like, it’s a no-brainer, especially since there’s that thing with LEGO. See what I mean?

Oh, right. This new mini-season? It’s wrapping up around June 7. So, some leakers — or insiders, or whatever you call them — think we’re heading into superhero territory next. And not the usual capes and tights. Looking like it’s gonna be all original skins and stuff. Rumor mill’s also grinding out something about James Gunn’s upcoming Superman flick maybe tying in? Sounds like a mixed bag, right?

So yeah, whether you’re into Star Wars, superheroes, or smashing stuff with a toy lightsaber, Fortnite’s keeping us guessing. And really, isn’t that the whole point?
