While full details have not been revealed yet, leaks from reliable sources like HYPEX suggest the return of lightsabers and Force abilities to the game. There are also rumors of a new mythic "Wookie Bowcaster" weapon and a potential Chewbacca skin.

The Fortnite Festival announcement brings the potential for iconic Star Wars music to be featured in the game. HYPEX also added on another tweet that Fortnite Festivals are adding John Williams's "Cantina Band" too. However, it's unknown if this will be a separate in-game concert experience or music integrated into existing modes.

While not confirmed by developers, the data miner has a proven track record with Fortnite leaks. This event might also tie into a recent leak hinting at a Mandalorian collaboration, which could extend to Rocket League.

In addition to the crossover news, Fortnite data miners have uncovered evidence of a new Leia Organa skin variant called "Rebel Leia Organa" that is currently in development. This will likely be a separate skin rather than a selectable style for the existing Leia outfit. 

The Fortnite x Star Wars crossover event kicks off on May 3rd with content across multiple modes. Stay tuned for more details on everything this epic collaboration will bring to the game as Star Wars Day approaches. The Force is strong with this one!
