The remodeling of Committed Reels, the open-air cinema on the Fortnite map Chapter 2, has begun for the Star Wars event on the 14th.

A few days ago we inform you that in Fortnite Chapter 2, which is still in Season 1 of your Battle Pass, there will be a Star Wars event in which a scene from Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker will be broadcast exclusively . This event will take place within the game itself in an area called Engaged Reels, which is an outdoor drive-in. As well; This area is under construction, and has already begun to undergo changes and modifications. We tell you below:

Fortnite: Engaged Reels undergoes a remodel for the Star Wars Episode IX event

As we told you last December 4 with the arrival of patch 11.21, one of the minor changes on the stage was the appearance of a truck that brought heavy machinery to Committed Reels. The scenario has been modified again in the coming days without prior notice, and without there having been a new patch in between. At the level of files and code, this event has the code name «Galileo».

The most obvious changes are the withdrawal of the vast majority of the vehicles that had been placed facing the screen of the cinema, as well as the fact that there is more heavy machinery of works in the area. Engaged Reels is in this state as of December 10, 2019:

The popular dataminer lucas7yoshi already leaked a few days ago an image with «the different states» through which Reels Committed would happen during its remodeling:

We have no official information on the matter beyond the announcement of the event on December 7. For now we can assume that the works of Committed Reels are due to the scope of this event. Somehow, Epic Games wants to give this area a face lift, and maybe add some Star Wars props.
