There’s really no gentle way to ease you into this situation so I’ll just be blunt: Yoda got removed from Fortnite because an emote inspired by Zoidberg from Futurama was turning the little Jedi master into a nasty monster that crashed people’s games. What a world we live in?
In case you missed it, last week Fortnite launched its massive Star Wars Day event. It added new Star Wars character skins, accessories, and even the catchy Cantina band song to the game’s Fortnite Festival mode. One of these new Star Wars-themed cosmetic items was a Yoda backpack that players could buy and wear as any character as they ran around Fortnite killing Goku and Ariana Grande. But, as documented online and confirmed by Epic Games, if you tried to do a specific emote while he was on your back, you’d trigger a game-breaking bug.
On May 7, iFireMonkey, a popular Fortnite news and leaks account, reported that players with the Yoda backpack were encountering a strange bug that turned the Jedi Master into a noodle-y monster before crashing the game. You can see the game-breaking glitch in action in the video below.
