Summary
The upcomingFortnitecollaboration withStar Warsmight feature Chewbacca, a highly anticipated character, as a cosmetic skin.Fortnitehas been celebrating May the Fourth in-game for the past few years. In 2023, Epic Games took it up a notch;Fortnitehosted a majorStar Warscrossover event called Find the Force, and it even featured its own event pass with themed cosmetic rewards and quests.
This year’sannualStar Wars Fortniteeventwas recently announced. Players can expect the next May the Fourth collaboration to go live on May 3. Fortnite Festival teased the release of the Cantina Band track as an in-game jam track and emote, but that’s about all the community knows about what’s coming. Dataminers are hard at work, trying to figure out what’s to come, but so far, very little has been confirmed. As the event’s release date gets closer, more will certainly be revealed. For now, fans have to make do with the few clues they’re given.
When the collaboration teaser was released, the official LEGO account replied toFortnitewith “excited Wookiee noises.” Several players immediately questioned if this was related to a Wookie skin or perhaps the leaked Wookie Bowcaster mythic weapon. One of the fans who commented said “Chewbacca Conformed!?!”, and the LEGO account replied “Conformed.” Despite the silly interaction, this means that it is very likely that a Chewbacca skin will be made available once theStar Warsevent goes live. This means that fans will probably be able to rock their favorite character while wielding aWookie Bowcaster.
What to Expect From the Star Wars x Fortnite Collaboration in 2024
It is likely that severalStar Warsitems, such as the force abilities and lightsaber melee weapons, will return toFortniteonce again. It is impossible to know the magnitude of the event at the moment. However, it is likely that it won’t include as much content as the Find the Force event, given that players will need to recover after theAvatarevent.
TheStar Warscollab kicks off on May 3, which is when theAvatar: The Last AirbenderElements eventcomes to an end. There is no doubt that players will have plenty to keep themselves busy for the remainder of Chapter 5 Season 2.
