Star Wars lands in the Fortnite universe

Fortnite and Star Wars are crossing over again, but not in the same way as before! Today with v29.40, galactic adventure comes to different parts of the Fortnite universe: LEGO® Fortnite, Battle Royale, Fortnite Festival, and Rocket Racing.

There’s something for every Star Wars fan in this vast crossover. Head to LEGO Fortnite to unlock Star Wars Builds and Decor, or fight off enemies with a Wookiee Bowcaster by your side in Battle Royale. Rock out in a Mos Eisley Cantina-inspired area at the Festival Jam Stage, and unlock a Podracer and Darth Maul Decal in Rocket Racing!

REBEL AGAINST THE EMPIRE IN LEGO FORTNITE

The Empire and Rebels are coming to your LEGO Fortnite world… Side with the Rebels by building up the Rebel Village and using tools to keep the Empire at bay: Lightsabers, Bowcasters, DL-44 Blasters, E-11 Blasters, and Thermal Detonators!

Make progress in the LEGO Pass: Rebel Adventure as you help out the Rebellion. This Pass has unlockable rewards including Star Wars Builds and Decor, and the Chewbacca Outfit you’ll get just for upgrading to the Pass’ Premium Reward Track!

CHEWBACCA BRINGS HIS BOWCASTER TO BATTLE ROYALE!

Millennium Falcon co-pilot Chewbacca has been captured and it’s up to you to rescue him! To save him from the claws of the Empire, you’ll need to head to a specific Imperial Roadblock. (The one he’s at changes each match!) Chewbacca will cheer after being liberated, then follow you into battle with his trusty Bowcaster.

Who says Wookiees should have all the fun? Chewbacca will hand you your own Wookiee Bowcaster as a thanks for rescuing him! You can also find one inside Imperial Chests at Imperial Roadblocks across the Island. With this weapon equipped, shoot individual quarrels quickly or charge up a heavier, explosive shot.

WIELD DARTH VADER’S LIGHTSABER ONCE AGAIN!

Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers will be returning to the BR Island in the Lambda Shuttle! Defeat Vader in battle and you’ll be able to pick up his lightsaber. Use Darth Vader’s Lightsaber to block incoming fire and swing at enemies, and even throw it at your opponents!

With Stormtroopers come their E-11 Blasters. Grab these returning weapons from defeated Stormtroopers or from Imperial Chests at Vader’s landing sites.

A GALAXY FULL OF QUESTS

Put your Bowcaster and Blaster skills to the test to complete Battle Royale’s Star Wars Quests! You’ll receive a Battle Pass Level Up for completing five of these Quests, and the AWR Pack Back Bling for completing ten.

Battle Royale’s Star Wars Quests will be released in two phases during the crossover: the first on May 3 at 9 AM ET and the second at 9 AM ET on May 7. The Star Wars bash in Battle Royale, including the Quests, will end May 14 at 9 AM ET!

GET THE GALAXY GROOVIN’ IN FORTNITE FESTIVAL

Jam just like they do on Tatooine! An area inspired by Mos Eisley’s famous Cantina will be coming to the Fortnite Festival Jam Stage on May 3. Create your own version of the famous cantina band by getting up on stage with your friends, or just chill out and appreciate some sandy songs.

UNLOCK THE SEVEN-STRING HALLIKSET GUITAR!

Pick up a Naboo classic. You can unlock the Seven-string Hallikset Guitar by completing seven of Fortnite Festival’s Star Wars Quests! These Quests go live 9 AM ET on May 3. For completing just four, you’ll unlock a Battle Pass Level Up!

Fortnite Festival’s Star Wars festivities, including the Quests, will be available until May 14 at 9 AM ET!

“KEEP AWAY FROM THOSE ENERGY BINDERS” - STAR WARS IN ROCKET RACING

Ready your hyperdrive — it’s ‘bout time to boost to the Quest tab! Keep a lookout for Star Wars Quests flipping into Rocket Racing on May 3 at 9 AM ET, and more at 9 AM ET on May 7. Complete seven of these Quests to unlock a Battle Pass Level Up and 14 to unlock the podracing-inspired Energy Binders Trail!

Starting May 3 at 9 AM ET, Rocket Racing will also have May the Fourth Quests. Complete four to unlock Anakin’s Podracer Decal and eight to unlock the Darth Maul Decal! Drive over to the dark side of the track.
