Fortnite Star Wars Crossover: When to Expect It?
That being said, the leaker claimed that this upcoming The Mandalorian crossover will be a part of another Star Wars event dropping for the battle royale. However, it is not yet coming soon, as it would take more than a month before this arrives as it is set for 'May the 4th,' a famed date dedicated to celebrating the Star Wars franchise.

Fortnite and its Star Wars Content
Epic Games is fond of the hit cult classic space story, Star Wars, with massive crossovers released in the past which feature more of the franchise's content than Fortnite. In 2019, Fortnite released the latest generation of Star Wars skins to the game, featuring the likes of Rey, Finn, and the Sith Troopers which were featured in 2015's The Force Awakens and later movies from the trilogy.
However, it did not stop there, as Fortnite also featured a dedicated 'May the 4th' celebration, a.k.a. Star Wars Day, on the battle royale. In 2020, Epic Games released the return of Lightsabers as part of this commemoration, featuring the weapons of Jedi Masters and Sith Lords including Yoda, Kylo Ren, Anakin and Luke Skywalker, and Mace Windu on the item shop.
Last year's May the 4th celebration also saw new crossover content coming to the battle island, featuring the renowned prequel characters from Episodes I to III.
Epic Games is not letting this year miss out on the May 4 celebration of Star Wars Day, with Fortnite seeing not only Chewbacca but also the return of The Mandalorian to the game.
