Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration in May may include fan-favorite character

A teaser suggests that the collaboration between Fortnite and Star Wars, scheduled for early May, may include a much-requested fan favorite character.

Highlights:

Fortnite's next collaboration with Star Wars could feature a Chewbacca skin, hinted at by a recent interaction with LEGO.
The Star Wars event starts on May 3, right after the Avatar event, promising a lot of content for players.
Dataminers are working hard to find out more details about the event, including possible returning items such as the lightsabers.

Fortnite's imminent collaboration with Star Wars could bring Chewbacca, a long-awaited character, as a cosmetic skin. Fortnite has celebrated May the Fourth in-game for the past few years. In 2023, Epic Games upped the ante; Fortnite hosted a major Star Wars crossover event called Find the Force, which even featured its own event pass with cosmetic rewards and themed missions.

This year's annual Star Wars event in Fortnite was recently announced. Players can expect the next May the Fourth collaboration to be released on May 3. The Fortnite Festival teased the release of the Cantina Band track as an in-game song and emote, but that's all the community knows about what's to come. Dataminers are hard at work trying to figure out what's coming, but so far, very little has been confirmed. As the event's launch date approaches, more will surely be revealed. For now, fans have to make do with the few clues they have received.

Related to Fortnite: All the Star Wars skins. Star Wars x Fortnite has brought many iconic characters from the galaxy far, far away to the famous Battle Royale.
When the teaser for the collaboration was released, the official LEGO account responded to Fortnite with "animated Wookiee noises". Several players immediately wondered if this was related to a Wookiee skin or perhaps the leaked Wookie Bowcaster mythical weapon. One of the fans who commented said "Chewbacca Confirmed!?!", and the LEGO account replied "Confirmed". Despite the amusing interaction, this means that it's very likely that a Chewbacca skin will be available as soon as the Star Wars event starts. This means that fans will probably be able to represent their favorite character while wielding a Wookie Bowcaster.

What to expect from the Star Wars x Fortnite collaboration in 2024:

Several Star Wars items, such as Force abilities and lightsaber melee weapons, are likely to return to Fortnite once again. It's impossible to know the magnitude of the event at the moment. However, it is likely that it will not include as much content as the Find the Force event, given that players will need to recover after the Avatar event.

The Star Wars collaboration begins on May 3, which is when the Avatar: The Last Airbender Elements event comes to an end. There's no doubt that players will have plenty to occupy themselves with for the remainder of Chapter 5 Season 2.

Fortnite is a massively popular game that has several modes, the most famous of which is the online battle royale mode. In this mode, players collect items, build structures and fight to be the last survivor.
