Is Fortnite celebrating Star Wars Day? Leaked skins and weapons Epic GamesEpic Games have developed a strong connection between Fortnite and the Star Wars franchise in the past, and a new event was expected to kick off to celebrate Star Wars Day. But, is it happening? Season 5 was the last showing of new Star Wars content in the world, as The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda burst onto the scene with a whole load of hype. However, Season 6 saw the return of the game going back to the basics and creating a new theme \u2013 Primal. On May 4, though, players thought they would be able to say \u201cMay The Fourth Be With You\u201d in-game and actually have Star Wars content to interact with. Though, nothing has showed up yet. When are Fortnite Star Wars skins coming back? Event start date The Star Wars Day event was expected to start on May 4, 2021 in Fortnite, an annual holiday for the community.
