Fortnite players divided after Star Wars event excels in LEGO mode but flops in Battle Royale Epic GamesSeveral Fortnite players have called out Epic Games for a lackluster Star Wars Day 2024 event, especially regarding the main Battle Royale mode. However, many in the community have also praised this year\u2019s May 4th celebrations for LEGO Fortnite, which has caused a rift in the player base. Fortnite first collaborated with Star Wars back in December 2019, with the Live at Risky event in Chapter 2 Season 1. Since then, the annual collabs and Star Wars Day events have become some of the most beloved in Fortnite. Those disappointed with the event, have echoed the views of one player: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t even feel like Star Wars. One Lightsaber, a couple Trooper NPCs, Vader & Chewbacca. I get assets went to LEGO and the music mode but still. Last year was better with skins and content.\u201d Despite players being \u201cgrateful we got a Chewie skin!\u201d, this was the only standout positive for BR players. Instead, there has been a consensus that LEGO Fortnite has been prioritized in the update, which has left it \u201cspread out real thin since they had to spread it to the 4 game modes.\u201d On top of the Yoda Back Bling being \u201cdisabled the whole time\u201d due to a bug, the main issues were the claimed lackluster features in BR. 2023\u2019s event centered around Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Darth Maul as NPCs on the Island that taught you how to use three newly introduced Force abilities. Meanwhile, 2024 added the Darth Vader NPC, who drops his Lightsaber after defeating him, along with Chewbacca who gives you his Wookie Bowcaster for helping him eliminate Stormtroopers. \u201cWas hoping for more than one full boss to be honest\u201d one said, as another added: \u201cSame, wish Palpatine accompanied Vader on the island.\u201d However, a vast amount still praised the Star Wars collab, which can be summed up by the response: \u201cFor BR? Sure. But for LEGO it\u2019s fantastic, and that was clearly the focus this time.\u201d This even led to an influx of BR players admitting they were impressed, \u201cIt got me actually playing a lot of the LEGO mode.\u201d LEGO Fortnite\u2019s Star Wars collab has been praised for its multiple LEGO Lightsabers, Blasters and Bowcasters, iconic Star Wars buildings, heaps of cosmetics, and of course plenty of LEGO Star Wars skins. Meanwhile, amid all the discussions, others were just convinced that players in the community would never be happy with the event, as one player said: \u201cAlready know we\u2019ll see the same post next year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
