Fortnite's annual collaboration with Star Wars is back again, featuring activities where players can engage Stormtroopers, rescue Chewbacca, and groove to the Cantina Band theme. 

As is customary for Fortnite events, themed quests are integrated, spanning all four main modes—Battle Royale/Zero Build, Lego Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, and Rocket Racing—granting players free Star Wars cosmetics upon completion.

Players have the opportunity to save Chewbacca from random Imperial Roadblocks, and as a reward, they receive his Bowcaster, and Chewbacca joins as an NPC ally. 

Additionally, gamers will encounter familiar adversaries such as Stormtroopers and Darth Vader, whom they can defeat to acquire the Sith lord’s red lightsaber.

The initial batch of Star Wars quests within the Battle Royale mode debuted alongside the crossover's launch on May 3, 2024, titled "Part 1 – Luke and Chewbacca." 

Below is a full list of Fortnite Star Wars quests for Part 1 – Luke and Chewbacca:

  • Eliminate a Stormtrooper and collect their E-11 Rifle – 5,000 XP

  • Travel 1,300 distance away from where you start the match – 5,000 XP

  • Place three times in the top 10 players remaining in different matches – 5,000 XP

  • Hit players from 50 meters or more 20 times – 5,000 XP

  • Deal 327 damage to opponents wielding an Imperial weapon – 5,000 XP

  • Eliminate 12 opponents with the Bowcaster or melee weapon – 5,000 XP

  • Blast four players with charged attacks from the Bowcaster – 5,000 XP

  • Survive taking 300 damage from opponents in a single match – 5,000 XP

The subsequent set of quests centered around Lando and the Empire is scheduled to be introduced on May 7, 2024.

The Fortnite-Star Wars crossover event concludes in the Battle Royale mode on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. 

However, Star Wars festivities continue in Fortnite's new racing mode, where players can engage in the Star Wars quests on Anakin's Podracer until May 21. 

The LEGO event, featuring the introduction of the new buildable Rebel Village, extends even further, allowing players to craft their way to victory until July 23, 2024.
