With the huge new patch dropping in today, the Fortnite Star Wars collaboration makes an exciting comeback for this year as the franchise’s fans are gearing up to celebrate May the 4th tomorrow! Check out a rundown of all the collaboration outfits, content, and more that are making its way to Fortnite for the next two weeks.

Star Wars Day is going on in Fortnite, but not just on May the 4th: Star Wars items from years past are unvaulted May 3 until May 17, 2022! Use these items in special Quests to unlock an Empire Banner. Also, every non-Battle Pass Star Wars Outfit that’s been in the Item Shop will return from a galaxy far, far away.

The return of Star Wars to the battle royale signifies the return of the ever-popular lightsabers, and this time around there are four of them available in different owners and colors:

  • Luke Skywalker (green)
  • Kylo Ren (red)
  • Mace Windu (purple)
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi (blue)

As for ranged weaponry, the E-11 blaster also makes its return. Here’s how you can get and use this weapon in Fortnite:

Returning to the Island, the E-11 Blaster Rifle can now be wielded by players! How to find one? Stormtroopers have set up checkpoints in search of Obi-Wan — go to one of these checkpoints and exchange Bars for a Blaster! Also find them in Chests and on the ground.

A new Empire banner will also be made available, and you’ll need to go through Stormtrooper training in order to get it:

Speaking of Stormtroopers, go through Stormtrooper training in new Star Wars Quests. Active now until May 17 at 12 AM ET, these Quests will have you confiscate a “landspeeder” (a.k.a. a vehicle), confiscate and use “Jedi contraband” (a.k.a. a lightsaber), and more. Each May the 4th Quest rewards XP, and for completing five, you’ll earn an Empire Banner.

Finally, we have the outfits, and here are the ones you can get from the item shop for the next two weeks.

  • Imperial Stormtrooper
  • Kylo Ren
  • Zorii Bliss
  • Finn
  • Rey
  • Sith Trooper
  • Boba Fett
  • Fennec Shand
  • Krrsantan

The Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration is available from May 3 to May 17, so if you’re a big fan of both the battle royale and the intergalactic franchise make sure to not miss it!
