May 4 is Star Wars Day, officially \u2013 although after the run of Star Wars films and TV series we\u2019ve seen over the past few years, it\u2019s rarely seemed like it\u2019s \/not\/ Star Wars Day. At any rate, May 4 is special \u2013 mainly for pun-related reasons \u2013 and Fortnite is getting in on the celebrations by offering a bunch of Star Wars themed goodies.<\/p>\n

The battle royale game has already kicked things off, in fact: now through May 17, Fortnite players can volunteer for \u2018Stormtrooper training\u2019 by taking on a series of Star Wars quests. If you complete five of them, you\u2019ll earn yourself an Empire banner to display in-game.<\/p>\n

On both the battle royale and zero-build maps, you\u2019ll also be able to pick up iconic Star Wars weapons. The E-11 blaster rifle can be acquired by exchanging bars or by looting chests around the island. You\u2019ll also be able to find lightsabers \u2013 the models originally carried by Luke Skywalker, Kylo Ren, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Mace Windu \u2013 by exploring and searching the maps.<\/p>\n

In case you need a refresher, here\u2019s how lightsabers work:<\/p>\n
