Lego Fornite Star Wars collab – when you can get it and everything it includes
Fortnire’s biggest collaboration of the year is almost upon us. Ever since somebody decided that May the 4th sounded fractionally like May the Force, each year on this most hallowed of dates big brands crowbar Star Wars content into their everyday social output, just for you.
Fortnite and Star Wars are the perfect combo really, the chance to play iconic games in your favorite Battle Royale has certainly not been missed by those sitting in Epic’s boardrooms, but this year they, and indeed we, get some new toys to play with.
This is the first year of Lego Fortnite’s existence and it too will get a Star Wars-themed makeover, and knowing just how popular Lego Star Wars games have been previously, well this is going to be massive.
Here we are taking a close look at what will be with you on May 4th.
Lego Fortnite Star Wars release date
May 3rd be with you – er, that’s when update 29.40 drops, and all flavors of Fornite, Lego, vanilla, Rocket Racing, and Festival are getting a makeover Star Wars style.
Here we are concentrating on Lego so let’s crack on.
Rebel Adventure Battle Pass
The Lego Pass: Rebel Adventure will actually be available to work your way through until July 23rd, so don’t feel as though you have to dash through it and it contains lots of cosmetics and build kits.
As ever there are free and premium tracks and you unlock the goodies by earning more Studs by playing. The free reward track has ten Decor Bundles and features the Mos Eisley Marketplace Build as the final reward.
The Premium Reward Track costs 1,400 V-Bucks and has 11 more rewards you can unlock while unlocking rewards from the free reward track.
This track has four Decor Bundles and seven Builds, including the Dusty Durrr Burger Build as the final reward.
Wookie of the year
For upgrading to the Premium Track you will automatically unlock the Star Wars Chewbacca outfit. You can also craft his iconic Bowcaster, see below for more on that.

New Star Wars gear in Lego Fortnite
Lightsabers are cool baby, that is a point you simply cannot argue and Lego Lightsabers are the best of the bunch. And, from May 3rd they are in-game – oh yes – unlock yours by helping the Rebels build up their Village.
We also get a new range of craftable items that can be crafted at a Rebel Workbench. Here’s what you can now make, and all these items will remain playable even after the Star Wars season finishes.
- Bowcaster: Launches a quarrel that deals damage then explodes in the area. Unlock the recipe for the Bowcaster by adding Durasteel to your inventory.
- DL-44: There’s no substitution for a good blaster at your side. Unlock the recipe for the DL-44 by adding Durasteel to your inventory.
- E-11: Standard-issue blaster for Imperial Stormtroopers. Unlock the recipe for the E-11 by adding Scrap Durasteel to your inventory.
- Thermal Detonator: The bounty hunter’s detonator of choice! This thrown explosive affects a wider area than Dynamite. Unlock the recipe for the Thermal Detonator by adding Durasteel to your inventory.
How to craft a Rebel Workbench in Lego Fortnite
To get at any of the items above you need to craft a Rebel Workbench, but it is not instantly apparent how you do that.
