🎙️ Voice is AI-generated. Inconsistencies may occur.

The Force has come to Fortnite in a big way. As of Fortnite Battle Royale v22.30, the original trio of Star Wars heroes—Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo—are coming to the game for the promotional event Skywalker Week.

During Skywalker Week players can use Luke Skywalker's lightsabers straight out of A New Hope and Return of the Jedi, toss his X-34 Landspeeder, and jump into battle using the Stormtroopers' weapons. You can even get Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo Outfits to outfit your characters with, which should bring a bit more flavor from a galaxy from far, far away to your Fortnite game.

When you use Star Wars items, you'll earn XP as you finish special in-game quests. You can search through Imperial Chests and regular Chests for goodies like lightsabers and other weapons, though some items will only be available for purchase.

You're likely wondering how you add Star Wars skins to your Fortnite inventory. Well, as it turns out, it's quite simple to do, but you'll need to do it this week if it's in the cards for you. We've got everything you need to know about Skywalker Week in Fortnite.

How to Get Luke, Leia, and Han Solo in Fortnite Skywalker Week

If you want to add the Star Wars Original Trilogy Outfits to your collection in Fortnite, you only need to visit the Item Shop. There, you'll find the following sets:

Luke Skywalker

  • Luke Skywalker Outfit
  • Training Remote Back Bling
  • Slugthrower Rifle Pickaxe
  • X-34 Landspeeder Glider

Leia Organa

  • Leia Organa Outfit
  • R2-D2 Back Bling
  • Electrostaff Pickaxe

Han Solo

  • Han Solo Outfit
  • Millennium Falcon Back Bling
  • Vibro-staff Pickaxe

You'll have to spend money to add these goodies to your stash, but once you've purchased them, they're yours forever. And if you want to spend some time as the good guys from Star Wars for once instead of Darth Vader and all those guys, it's something you'll have to do. Who hasn't wanted to wield a lightsaber as Luke Skywalker? Or wear the Millennium Falcon on their back as Han Solo? It's a no-brainer, really.

Additionally, you'll find a series of unvaulted items from Fortnite throughout Skywalker Week, though they'll be available as in-game drops.

Fortnite's Skywalker Week is running now through November 8 at 9 AM ET.
