As one of the biggest multiplayer games in recent memory, Fortnite has multiplied partnerships with big names to bring thousands of unique skins over the years, including DC and Marvel, but also Star Wars. The game already offers skins of Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and even The Mandalorian.
To celebrate May 4th, Fortnite is releasing a new pack with even more Star Wars skins, and here’s what you can expect to find.
New Epic Skins Coming Up!
The Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration brings a new event pass named Find The Force. This new pack of skins is available in the item shop, and it will add the following characters:
- Anakin Skywalker
- Padmé Amidala
- Darth Maul
- 501st Clone Trooper
- 212th Clone Trooper
These new characters will be unlockable through the event pass, or it can be purchased directly.

What You Get For Your Purchase
If you buy the Anakin Skywalker pack, you’ll get the character’s skin, his spaceship as seen in Episode III, a back bling, a glider, a wrap, a spray, and a pickaxe. Padmé’s bundle is similar to her Naboo Royal Starship. For the clone troopers, you’ll get a wrap pack in addition to the skin in four different colors.
However, Darth Maul will not be directly purchasable. According to leaks, the Darth Maul skin will be unlocked at the end of the event, perhaps as part of Fortnite’s Battle Pass.

New Additions To A Great Selection
With this new upcoming pack, Fortnite gets even more arguments for Star Wars fans. You can already play as The Mandalorian, Bobba Fett, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Luke, Obi-Wan, various clone troopers and sequel trilogy characters.
Moreover, Fortnite accounts for the abilities of the Jedis and Siths and you can use your lightsaber to deflect shots, use the Force to throw objects, and perform a couple of cool moves. It’s also nice to see that the Anakin and Padmé’s skin captures the look of the films, with the faces actually looking like Hayden Christensen and Nathalie Portman.

Other Star Wars Characters That Could Be Cool To See
Star Wars is such a vast universe, there are plenty of other characters Epic could add to Fortnite in the future. We’d love to see Qui-Gon Jinn, Count Dooku, Mace Windu, or Emperor Palpatine added to the roster. This would be a cool way to enjoy more of the Star Wars universe, since it’s been a long time since we’ve had a big Star Wars game with canon characters worth playing.
Given the longevity of Fortnite and the apparent will of Disney to turn it into something close to Marvel, we could very well see more Star Wars-related content hit the game in the future.
