And then, there’s Fortnite.
Fortnite is celebrating Star Wars with new gameplay, outfits, cosmetics, and more across Legp Fortnite, Rocket Racing, Fortnite Festival, and Battle Royale.
The Star Wars-themed update for Lego Fortnite is based on the original trilogy, adding the Rebellion and Galactic Empire. This update finds you helping the Rebels survive by building up the Rebel Village and using tools like Lightsabers, DL-44 Blasters, and Thermal Detonators. Aiding the Rebellion will help you progress in the Lego Pass: Rebel Adventure which has free and premium rewards inspired by Tatooine.
Beware though, the Empire will try to make your world their home by setting up camps, and it’s up to you to infiltrate them and take back your world. You can find their camps using your cool new set of Macrobinoculars and once you find a camp, you can choose not to damage but keep them and their inhabitants beyond the Star Wars-themed update.
