Fortnite is set to unveil a wave of Star Wars characters during this year's anticipated May the Fourth celebration. The game boasts a diverse range of cosmetics, from fierce figures like Predator and Hades to charming skins like Meowscles and Bush Ranger. Fans of Fortnite eagerly anticipate fresh cosmetic additions, especially those tied to their favorite universes.

In the wake of the conclusion of Fortnite Season OG and the commencement of Chapter 5, various game modes surfaced, opening doors to new collaborations. For instance, the Fortnite Festival introduced popular music tracks to the game, a move that resonated strongly with the community.

The 2024 Star Wars x Fortnite collaboration was announced on April 15, sparking excitement among players awaiting further revelations. Initially, the Cantina Band was confirmed for the Fortnite Festival, hinting at more surprises to follow. Subsequent leaks and teasers gradually unveiled the addition of Chewbacca to the roster of Fortnite skins. A Fortnite Chewbacca LEGO character was unveiled on April 25, culminating in the long-awaited debut of the Chewbacca skin for the Battle Royale mode four days later.

Chewbacca is poised to play a significant role in the upcoming Star Wars event within Fortnite, with leaks suggesting his bowcaster will be introduced as a Mythic weapon in Battle Royale. Additionally, the Olympian Boss's weaponry and items are set to make a comeback, replacing the Avatar: The Last Airbender Mythics in Fortnite.
