Fortnite Luke, Han, and Leia release date, and how to get the Star Wars skins

In celebration of Skywalker Week.

by Joseph Yaden

Fortnite is celebrating Skywalker Week this November, offering three new Star Wars skins from the original trilogy: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa. These certainly aren’t the first Star Wars skins added to Fortnite, but their designs are some of the best in the game’s history, rivaling the likes of Darth Vader and Din Djarin from The Mandalorian. But when do these new Star Wars skins become available, and how much V-Bucks or time will it cost to claim them? Here’s what you need to know about the Luke, Han, and Leia Fortnite skins.

When is the Fortnite Luke, Han, and Leia release date?

Luke, Han, and Leia are already in Fortnite if you’re reading this right now — but there’s only so much time left! The trio of heroes is featured in the Item Shop, with a few different bundles available to purchase.

Epic Games confirmed that Skywalker Week will run until November 8, 2022, at 9 a.m. Eastern, giving players a week to enjoy the festivities.

Fortnite Skywalker Week quests

Along with the new skins and cosmetics, Fortnite also includes several Star Wars quests, giving players plenty of opportunities to earn XP. The quests are as follows:

  • Search Star Wars chests (10)
  • Block shots using a Lightsaber (15)
  • Complete a bounty from a Stormtrooper (1)
  • Assist in defeating Darth Vader (1)
  • Deal damage to opponents with Star Wars weapons (1,000)
