The Fortnite x Star Wars crossover event is getting closer with each parsec we travel towards Star Wars Day, and cosmetics are leaking all over the galaxy. This time, we're getting LEGO versions of C-3PO, Death Trooper, Rebel Trooper, and Chewbacca!
In yet another leak from Hypex, we've learned that this year's Star Wars Day will be celebrated across all Fortnite modes. The X post shows an unconfirmed image (via @jorge_most) with many popular characters from the Star Wars universe. While we already knew Chewbacca is coming to Fornite and Death Trooper looks amazing, I was most happy to see C3PO. He'll arrive as a silver version with a working uniform; I'm curious to find out the background of his outfit.

Besides fantastic outfits, the leak also mentioned LEGO Fortnite lightsabers. I can only imagine how impactful a lightsaber would be in LEGO mode, combined with Force powers. Running around in LEGO open-world and swinging a lightsaber is an opportunity I won't miss for anything in the world. I'd bet Fortnite will draw inspiration from LEGO Star Wars games that are popular among fans.
The Fortnite x Star Wars event will arrive on May 3, 2024, and will introduce multiple new cosmetics and see the return of (as rumored) lightsabers as Mythic weapons. I expect to see Force powers with mechanics similar to Elements from Avatar, which you can currently play with.
Besides Force powers and lightsabers, you can anticipate Star Wars music action in the Festival (The Cantina Band!) and podracing in Rocket Racing. Those things are on my wishlist, but I'm certain they will be introduced at this year's event. Now, if only we could create a Death Star in Build mode...
