The bond between Epic Games and Disney has a history of delighting fans through the introduction of beloved Star Wars characters in Fortnite.

Set your reminders for Friday, May 3, as the anticipated collaboration takes flight. Though it may seem unusual to pick the day just before Star Wars Day, it aligns with the trend of major collaborations launching on Fridays.
While Epic keeps the details of the upcoming Star Wars crossover under wraps, it’s hinted that fresh content will light up nearly every main game mode. The resurgence of lightsabers in Fortnite Battle Royale is anticipated, and Star Wars-themed skins are poised to enter the LEGO Fortnite world. To top it off, the Fortnite Festival will be adorned with a Star Wars touch as hinted at by the game maker.
Insight from noted Fortnite leakers suggests the arrival of new weaponry such as the fabled Wookie Bowcaster. There’s talk of General Leia Organa joining in as either a brand-new skin or an additional style for the current Leia outfit. Fans are keeping an eye out for more leaks and official teascripts from Epic Games for further details.
