The latest ‘Fortnite’ Star Wars characters are Luke, Leia and Han
Epic Games’ Star Wars collaborations didn’t end with Darth Vader. The gaming giant has added Luke, Leia and Han skins to Fortnite as part of “Skywalker Week,” complete with appropriate accessories such as Luke’s Landspeeder glider and Leia’s R2-D2 back bling. Lightsabers are back if you can either open Imperial Chests or defeat Darth Vader, and fans of wildly inaccurate soldiers can pick up Stormtrooper blasters.
All the new Star Wars skins and accessories are available through the Fortnite Item Shop. Skywalker Week also revives the pulse rifle and “Junk Rifts” that can drop the Landspeeder. The event runs until November 8th at 9AM Eastern, and offers special quests to boost your XP.
This certainly isn’t the first such team up. Epic held a Fortnite Star Wars event in December 2019 to mark the premiere of The Rise of Skywalker, and introduced both Darth Vader and a young Obi-Wan this spring. It may be one of the more important, though. This is the largest nod yet to the original movie trilogy (i.e. the most beloved trilogy) in the battle royale brawler, and may do more to reel you in if you’re uninterested in Marvel heroes and game character crossovers.
Fortnite Star Wars collaboration adds Han Solo, Luke, and Leia gear
This Fortnite Star Wars collaboration brings in some exciting new Fortnite skins along with some cool items. The Epic battle royale game has seen a bit of Star Wars in the past, but this looks to be one of the biggest for the classic sci-fi series yet, and there’s plenty of stuff to get stuck into with Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Leia all getting fresh gear.

Fortnite Star Wars Skins: Luke Skywalker, Princess, Leia, And Han Solo Now Available
It’s never a bad time to celebrate Star Wars, and Fortnite is making that clear with a new event dedicated to a galaxy far, far away. Skywalker Week has kicked off and will run until November 8, bringing with it a selection of original trilogy skins, some new quests, and the ability to wield a variety of lightsabers.
While Fortnite has certainly had its fair share of Star Wars content over the years, this marks the first time we’ve seen skins for arguably the franchise’s most beloved characters–Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo. Each of these new outfits also has some optional cosmetic items that can be purchased separately.
- Luke Skywalker comes with his Training Remote back bling, while the Slugthrower Rifle pickaxe and X-34 Landspeeder glider will be available separately.
- Leia Organa comes with the R2-D2 back bling, with an Electrostaff pickaxe as an additional purchase.
- Han Solo comes with a miniature Millennium Falcon as a back bling, and a separate purchase can net you his Vibro-staff pickaxe.
During the event, you’re also able to round up Luke’s blue and green lightsabers on the ground and in both Imperial and regular chests across the island, and Darth Vader’s lightsaber can once again be earned by defeating him in battle. You can even find Stormtroopers scattered around the island again, and they’ll sell you E-11 Blaster Rifles for some gold bars. Lastly, if you manage to find one of the unvaulted Junk Rifts laying about, using them may result in Luke’s X-34 Landspeeder falling from the sky to dish some hefty damage to foes this week, too.
