Fortnite is bringing back Star Wars outfits and lightsabers for two weeks

Fortnite is bringing back a number of Star Wars items for the next two weeks, Epic Games has announced.

Most outfits will be making a return to celebrate Star Wars day tomorrow, as will lightsaber weapons.

Over the course of the period starting on May 4 and lasting until May 17, the game’s item shop will feature every previously released Star Wars outfit that wasn’t part of a Battle Pass.

This essentially means nine of the ten previous Star Wars outfits will be available – some dating back to 2019 – with the exception of the Mandalorian.

The full list of outfits that will be available is as follows:

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

Lightsabers will also return as a weapon for a limited time in the game, and will come in four different varieties.

Luke Skywalker’s green lightsaber, Kylo Ren’s red lightsaber and Mace Windu’s purple lightsaber can be found on the island. A blue lightsaber can also be found, but whereas this was previously Rey’s lightsaber, this time it belongs to Obi Wan Kenobi.

The E-11 Blaster Rifle will be added to the game too. Players will be able to find them in chests and on the ground, and will also be able to find Stormtrooper checkpoint where they can exchange Bars for a Blaster.

New Star Wars quests will also be included and will also only be active until May 17. These include confiscating a ‘landspeeder’ (a vehicle) and using ‘Jedi contraband’ (a lightsaber). Each quest awards XP and an Empire Banner will be rewarded for completing five.
