Fortnite and Star Wars are united again! | © Epic Games

For months, various leaks about Chewbacca, Leia Organa, The Mandalorian, and others have been circulating around in the Fortnite community. Now, we have the first official teaser from Epic Games. The event is set to start on May 3rd, a day before the international Star Wars Day, following the end of the Avatar Event in Fortnite.

Fortnite x Star Wars Trailer: The Collaboration Continues

After previous leaks about a new Mandalorian collaboration, Chewbacca, and a mythical crossbow, Epic Games now gives us the first official teaser of the new Star Wars event. The trailer on X, formerly Twitter, shows nothing more than the classic Star Wars starry sky. It also announces a collaboration including the modes Fortnite Festival, Fortnite Lego, and Battle Royale.

Leakers had already predicted several new features some time ago. Here’s a summary of everything:

Chewbacca And The Mythical Crossbow

According to various known leakers, Chewbacca’s famous Wookiee Bowcaster expected to join the game. Also, if Lego is not joking around, we will see the Wookie Chewbacca himself as a skin in Fortnite as well. That’s what Legos X, formerly Twitter, account has “conformed”.

Lightsabers Unvaulted – The Force Returns

Of course, a Star Wars collab wouldn’t be a true Star Wars collab without lightsabers. In past chapters, there were always various models from different Jedi and Sith to choose from. Additionally, the Force is set to return, probably allowing players to hurl chunks of earth at their opponents.

New Mandalorian Vehicle

Not much is known yet about this. Whether it’s a car skin or possibly a flying vehicle remains to be seen. All of this has been published by the well-known Rocket League and Fortnite leaker SamLeakss.

Leia Organa Skin

Several leakers, like Hypex, have reported about a new skin. With the event’s announcement, this now seems even more likely. Thus, Leia Organa could be joining Chewbacca in the upcoming collaboration.

Lego Fortnite Skins

According to the known leaker iFireMonkey, Lego Fortnite will mostly feature new skins and variants for the mode.

Rocket Racing & Rocket League

Although a new map was speculated for Rocket Racing, the mode did not appear in the trailer, making this very unlikely. Rocket League, however, is expected to receive a new skin set and possibly a larger collaboration.

Fortnite Festival & Jam Tracks

According to leaker ShiinaBR, Star Wars will also expand musically within Fortnite. The event is set to introduce new Jam Tracks in collaboration with the franchise, as well as new instruments, or skins, into the game.

That’s all for now. The leaks and the trailer promise a really exciting event for the future. Until then, may the Force be with you!
