Fortniteis leading the charge in pop-culture crossovers, with a vast slew ofMarvel, DC, and TV/movie propertiesall having various skins and items featured in the game. It only makes sense, then, that one of the Hollywood’s biggest franchises would want to crossover with one of gaming’s biggest franchises.
Over the last few years,FortniteandStar Warshave crossed over quite a few times. While the size of the crossover has changed every time, they have always brought with them new skins, items, gliders, and emotes, some of which players still use months or even a year after their initial release.

The Fortnite X Star Wars Event
Star Warsmade theirFortnitedebut back in December of 2019, in an event that received a somewhat mixed reception from bothStar WarsandFortnitefans. The event itself took place on June 28, 2025, and offered an exclusive first-look at theupcomingRise of Skywalkermovie.
As players loaded in to Risky Reels, the iconic Millenium Falcon would swoop down to meet them, before being intercepted by a few TIE fighters. Once the Falcon shot them down, it landed in front of players, its doorway opened, and Game Awards' own Geoff Keighley stepped out. He then ushered out a Stormtrooper voiced by Ben Schwartz, the talent behind theSonic movie’s own Blue Blur, who in turn brought outForce AwakensandRise of Skywalkerdirector, J.J. Abrams.
After showing a brief clip from the ninthStar Warsepisode, players were tasked with voting on their favorite lightsaber color. As they did this, Star Destroyers hyperspaced in and the Falcon took its flight. As they left, the voice of The Emperor could be heard, giving somekey exposition for the upcoming movie that was actually left out of the final theatrical release. As the live event ended, players were given lightsabers of their chosen color, and were thrown into a deathmatch.
After the live section of the event, players could then hop into a standard match and play through the rest of the event’s content, which involvedcrashed TIE fightersbeing scattered around the map. These crash sites contained lightsabers and First Order Blaster Rifles, which were limited-time weapons.
Along with these limited-time weapons also came some skins which could only be purchased for a limited amount of time. These included some of thecore cast of theStar Warssequel trilogy, such as Rey and Finn, along with the brand new Sith Trooper skin. Kylo Ren and Zorri Bliss skins were also added to the game during that year’s Winterfest event, along with a Millenium Falcon glider.
Further down the line, an X-Wing glider was added to coincide with the release ofStar Wars: Squadrons, along with some harvesting tools such as Rey’s Quarterstaff, and a Riot Control Baton. A Stormtrooper skin was added with the release ofJedi Fallen Order.
The Mandalorian
Starting in December 2020,FortniteChapter 2 Season 5 saw a crossover with the hitThe MandalorianDisney+ show. The titular bounty hunter was included in the game via a skin, and his adorable little alien child, Grogu, was added as a pet, appearing in his hovering stroller behind the player.
What made the Mandalorian skin so unique was that players unlocked the standard armor on the first level of the Battle Pass, but could work towards earning theMando’s shiny Beskar armorby unlocking more levels on the Battle Pass. By level 100 of the Battle Pass, players would have access to all of the Mandalorian’s Beskar armor set.
