Fortnite and Star Wars have just announced a collaboration between the two properties. Just in time for the release of Respawn’s Jedi Fallen Order, users can play as an Imperial Stormtrooper while they try to get a Victory Royale. In addition to the inclusion of the Star Wars character, a Star Destroyer has been seen hovering above the map. This can be a possible hint at a larger event in the works between each title.

Epic Games has been on a roll for acquiring major collaborations with Fortnite. The highly successful Battle Royale title has seen partnerships with Avengers: Endgame, Batman, John Wick, Borderlands, and even Michael Jordan. Each property that has been introduced to the popular game has included a character skin pack and some sort of limited-time addition. Whether it be a change to the map, such as Gotham City and Pandora or a limited-time mode seen with John Wick’s Bounty and Avenger’s Endgame. There’s no telling what this partnership may bring. However, with such a popular property, there’s no doubt that the developers will want to include something memorable along with it.
The Imperial Stormtrooper skin is available to own for 1500 V-Bucks, which translates to $15. Anyone who purchases Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order through the Epic Games Store will receive the in-game skin for free.
