Fortnite Star Wars LEGO update leaks: Get ready for Lightsabers, C-3PO and Death Trooper skins

The Fortnite x Star Wars crossover is getting closer with every parsec we travel to Star Wars Day, and cosmetics are streaming across the galaxy. This time we get LEGO versions of C-3PO, Death Trooper, Rebel Trooper and Chewbacca!

In yet another Hypex leak, we learned that this year's Star Wars Day will be celebrated in all Fortnite modes. The X poster shows an unconfirmed image (via @jorge_most) featuring many popular characters from the Star Wars universe. While we already knew Chewbacca was coming to Fornite and Death Trooper looks awesome, I was happiest to see C3PO. He will arrive as a silver version with a work uniform; I'm curious to know the background of his costume.

In addition to awesome outfits, the leak also mentioned LEGO Fortnite lightsabers. I can only imagine how effective a lightsaber would be in LEGO mode, combined with Force powers. Running around in the LEGO open world and wielding a lightsaber is an opportunity I wouldn't miss for anything in the world. I would bet that Fortnite will take inspiration from LEGO Star Wars games that are popular among fans.

The Fortnite x Star Wars event will arrive on May 3, 2024 and will introduce several new cosmetics and see the return of (as rumored) lightsabers as Mythic weapons. I expect to see Force powers with mechanics similar to Elements of Avatar that you can play with at the moment.

In addition to Force powers and lightsabers, you can anticipate Star Wars musical action in the Festival (The Cantina Band!) and pod racing in Rocket Racing. Those things are on my wish list, but I'm sure they'll be featured at this year's event. Now, if only we could create a Death Star in Build mode…
