‘Star Wars’ Returns to ‘Fortnite’; Luke, Leia, and Han Skins Now Available
Star Wars has returned to Fortnite for “Skywalker Week” with reloaded content as well as Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo skins.
From Epic Games’ press release:
Never a bad time to have the Force by your side, Fortnite Battle Royale v22.30 celebrates the arrival of the Original Trio of Star Wars™ Heroes — Luke Skywalker™, Leia Organa™, and Han Solo™ — for Skywalker Week.
During Skywalker Week, take up Luke Skywalker’s lightsabers from A New Hope and Return of the Jedi, drop his X-34 Landspeeder on opponents, and once again shoot with the Stormtroopers’ signature weapon. Also, pick up the Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo Outfits in the Item Shop starting now!
The “Skywalker Week” event runs until November 8 at 9 AM ET. Players will be able to complete special quests to earn XP as they use returning Star Wars items such as lightsabers and E-11 blaster rifles. Moreover, the unvaulted Junk Rift has a chance to drop Luke Skywalker’s X-34 Landspeeder during this week. The Luke, Leia, and Han skin packs — which also include new back blings and pickaxe replacements — can be grabbed from the in-game Item Shop for a limited time.
Watch a quick trailer for the “Skywalker Week” event below:

This isn’t the first Star Wars event we’ve seen this year in Fortnite, as content from The Book of Boba Fett has been available twice along with returning skins and items from 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker collaboration. And shortly afterwards, the official Obi-Wan Kenobi event introduced a limited-time tournament and cosmetics based on the hit Disney Plus series.
