Sure, here’s a rewritten version:

Alright, bear with me here because this blew my mind. I stumbled across a leak showing General Grievous “unmasked” in Fortnite—yeah, Fortnite! Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Who cares?” But, trust me, fans are buzzing. Ever since Epic went all out with their Star Wars content this season—picture Mace Windu, some oddball “Darth Jar-Jar,” and even an AI Darth Vader with the voice of James Earl Jones—it feels like they’ve opened a Star Wars Pandora’s box. Though, I guess if Pandora played video games, she’d totally want to play this.
Okay, back to Grievous. This dude’s skin was fashionably late, but he made it. For those not in the Star Wars loop, Grievous was no joke—a Kaleesh warlord turned cyborg by Count Dooku with more limbs than I have patience. His real face, pre-cyborg era, is now showing up thanks to some leaked Fortnite magic. Props to WizarConcepts on Twitter for that unexpected gem.
And here’s where it gets wild—Epic gave him a face. Like, a detailed one that looks straight out of those 2019 Star Wars comics—red skin, reptilian eyes, and these bony tusks. Just like the comics, yet still a no-show on an official unmasked skin in Fortnite. Go figure.
So, this new detail is tickling the curiosity of players everywhere. The fact that it’s the first time Grievous shows up unmasked in a game is kind of a big deal. I never thought I’d see the day a Fortnite character feels more real than my last Tinder match.
Despite having zero in-game unmask feature—honestly, Epic could’ve been lazy—thankfully, they weren’t. It’s like they threw a little Easter egg for us hard-core fans, just when I was starting to lose hope in ever seeing Grievous’s organic look that’s not just comic art or stuck in some dark room statue. Plus, it gives me a weird sense of closure. Anyone else kinda hoped he was just misunderstood, and not just cyborg horror? No? Just me?
Anyway, now you know. Or maybe you already did, and I’m just late to the party. Either way, dropping this tidbit spilled my drink and had my head spinning in a galaxy far, far away.
