What are your plans for Star Wars day this year? If you were going to spend your time gaming, you might be interested in returning to Epic's free-to-play battle royale, Fortnite.
For a limited time, select Star Wars skins have returned to the game's shop. This includes Rey, Kylo Ren, and Sith Trooper outfits. In addition to this is the return of four different coloured lightsabers. Take a look at everything on offer below:
If Fortnite isn't the game you want to play on May 4th, there are some proper Star Wars-themed games to choose from that are now available on the Switch. Most recently Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy was released, and the other titles are Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Star Wars Pinball.
If you were hoping to relive some podracing memories, unfortunately, that game won't be available until 12th May. Will you be revisiting Fortnite or any Star Wars games on the 4th of May? Tell us below and may the Force be with you.

May the 4th be with you.
If only they brought out a Darth Vader skin with a lightsaber harvesting tool. There is still hope they will release him tonight, but it’s unlikely. Oh well I guess I’m going to have to wear Star Lord with Batman’s cape, Harley Quinn’s hammer, and riding Deadpool’s scooter.
Can I download all of them, or am I just limited to having 4 skins?
Lightsaber action on Fortnite was good and cool. I will play it for the upcoming days! May the Force be with you!
Fortnite has really cool collabs to be honest, it's a shame I'm not a big fan of the game. Maybe the recent popularity of Animal Crossing can secure nintendo some big time collabs, I think there is some real cool potential there.
It would be cool if Star Wars Jedi came to Switch but the game barely ran on my Pro. It was a great game hampered by countless numbers of bugs, jank and assorted annoyances. At least there’s the Jedi Knight games on Switch, they’re class.
Didn't know they were bringing Lightsabers back. That's awesome! I got the other two emotes that I didn't have last night. Still missing any skins though. I don't have enough v-bucks. If I did, I'd pickup either that Kylo Ren skin or the Sith Trooper one.
Kinda wish there were more wild melee options in fortnite like these
@flagloverNZ Please stop spamming those images!
@DaCh33f They have the Kingsman umbrella, which is pretty much a weaker lightsaber that you can glide for a few seconds, I wouldn’t recommend using it, because it’s not very good damage wise, but at least it’s there is a melee in the game that isn’t a collab.
I played for hours last night with a buddy and saw the skins but no lightsabers. They must just be for the 4th.
Couldn't we get the Star Wars character we care about?
@KillerBOB you can have as many as you'd like to buy, but it'll cost you
Eh, the cynic in me is just seeing this as Disney pushing their empire through Epic's Fortnite again.
I can recall at least four different Disney empire cross-promotions with Fortnite, not including tomorrow's repeat.
A memory from one of the worst films I have watched recently. Truly painful.
@WickedUnicarnBoi It's a pain to find one outside of the one you unlock in operations though, I think I've maybe seen one ever in the core game modes
@TheLightSpirit Yeah pretty much this. Fortnite is daycare.
@RupeeClock
Not much different than Nintendo shoe horning their properties into several dozen third-party games in a transparent attempt to increase sales.
"Hey let's buy the new XXXXXXXX game! You can download and wear Mario's hat!"
That's not Star Wars.
I'm glad they brought these back! I was able to pick up Kylo Ren, and the lightsabers are a cool addition.
@RickD The irony is that the original franchise from Lucas is,and will always remain (Brilliant and loved),separate from the complete wreck that Disney had reduced this franchise to. They destroyed this franchise and are now clasping at straws and it's their own doing
@RickD Unfortunately for them the original Star Wars trilogy is the only good thing from the series.
@WickedUnicarnBoi Kingsman wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have a god awful delay between hits. Lightstabers are swift, consecutive, hits that flow smoothly one after another, giving opponents no time to relate. But theres like a horrific 2 second delay on the last hit, leaving you open to a barrage of attacks.
@RickD I mean its fair considering in the original deal Gorge wanted them to go along with his original script (Back in the day he had scripts written for 9 films, only being able to make the first 6) but Disney tossed out his scripts in favor of doing their own thing.
Surely they could have had a yellow saber as one of them given the recent movie.
This is not serious, why limited?. Imagine if folks at skinclub would say that, what anger it would be? I want to buy skins for a long period of time.
