Epic Games has officially kicked off Skywalker Week with Fortnite v22.30. Original Trilogy Star Wars fans will be able to scoop up skins based on Han, Luke, and Leia starting today until 9 AM ET on November 8, 2022. Also hidden throughout the Battle Royale game will be Imperial chests containing various classic lightsabers belonging to Luke and Darth Vader.
Stormtroopers have returned as well, along with the E-11 blaster rifles. This weapon can be obtained in multiple ways, either through Bars, in chests, or lying on the ground. When you head into the item shop, you’ll be able to pick up the nine new player skins. Each character will have three skins, unique weapons, bling, or a glider.
