Chewbacca Joins Fortnite: Everything You Need to Know About the Epic Star Wars Event Starting May 3!

The forthcoming collaboration between Fortnite and Star Wars is set to possibly introduce Chewbacca as a playable skin, stirring considerable excitement. Historically, Fortnite has marked "May the Fourth" with Star Wars-themed events, and in 2023, they escalated their efforts with the comprehensive "Find the Force" event, which included an exclusive event pass featuring themed cosmetics and quests.

The latest Star Wars-themed event for Fortnite was unveiled recently, with its launch slated for May 3. At the Fortnite Festival, the inclusion of the Cantina Band track as both an in-game tune and an emote was hinted at, though details remain scant. Dataminers are diligently investigating to unveil more, yet confirmed information is sparse at this stage. As the event date approaches, more revelations are expected.

The teaser for this collaboration prompted a playful exchange on social media where the official LEGO account responded with "excited Wookiee noises." This led to speculation among fans about potential Wookie-themed content, such as a skin or the rumored Wookie Bowcaster weapon. A fan's comment, "Chewbacca Conformed!?", received a humorous affirmation from LEGO, suggesting that a Chewbacca skin is likely to be featured once the event begins.

For the 2024 Star Wars x Fortnite collaboration, fans can anticipate the return of popular items like force powers and lightsaber combat enhancements. The scope of the event is yet unclear, especially following the substantial "Find the Force" event and the need for players to transition from the recently concluded Avatar: The Last Airbender Elements event. Nonetheless, the remainder of Chapter 5 Season 2 promises to be an engaging period for players with new content to explore.
