Star Wars and Fortnite have always enjoyed a fruitful partnership, but now Disney’s put its sizeable bank balance behind Epic Games, there was always the possibility of a greater collaboration. And after weeks of teasing, that’s exactly what’s been announced. Beginning from 3rd May, the eve of Star Wars Day, you can expect an epic collaboration with George Lucas’ sci-fi series which will extend to virtually all aspects of the culturally colossal video game platform.
LEGO Fortnite will probably benefit the most from the crossover, as there’ll be a new map named Rebel Village where you’ll be tasked with crafting new Star Wars items, fighting off Rebels with Lightsabers, and much more. Crucially, there’ll be a separate Battle Pass specifically for this mode which will see you unlock builds and kits inspired by Mos Eisley and its iconic cantina.
Elsewhere, in Battle Royale you’ll be able to team up with Chewbacca, while the aforementioned Mos Eisley Cantina will be coming to Fortnite Festival as a new Jam Stage, and various Star Wars liveries will be added to Rocket Racing. Meanwhile, there’ll be fresh skins in the Item Shop, including one inspired by Lando Calrissian.

Wake me up once these tie-ins with Fortnite are seen as lame.
Surely by the time Star Wars does it we are nearly there...
@nocdaes Never underestimate the Star Wars fans and their ability to nosh off anything Star Wars related.
"Okay guys, we're going to introduce a brand new character."
"Oh my god, it's happening!"
"He's just an ordinary guy, with absolutely zero defining traits."
"Wow, this is amazing. So inspiring!"
"His name will be John Doe."
"Whoa, what an interesting name! They've put so much thought into that!"
I can't wait to play as Spock.
Wonder if they'll use it to release vital plot points about upcoming movies, as it went down SO well last time.
@get2sammyb " fighting off Rebels "
Um, are you at all familiar w/ Star Wars or at the very least even watch the Lego Fortnite SW trailer?

You're not fighting off the Rebels, you're joining the Rebels to help them fight off the Empire. I'll just give ya the benefit of the doubt on this one and call it a typo. 😁
Yooooo bring out yoda
As much as I dislike Fortnite, you really gotta give them credit as far as content and collaborations, literally the metaverse of video games.
