The collaboration between Fortnite and Star Wars is growing, and to celebrate this, Epic Games is offering the First Order Stormtrooper skin for free to players! Get the details here.
Look out, Star Wars fans, because the Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration is expanding. This Friday, Fortnite will launch a new Star Wars-themed Battle Pass titled “Galactic Battle,” featuring a host of new characters, cosmetics, and emotes for players to enjoy. Characters like Emperor Palpatine, Mace Windu, General Grievous, and Captain Phasma are already confirmed to be making their debut. But today, fans have been rewarded with a real treat.
Players who link their Disney accounts with their Epic Games accounts can receive a free skin! That’s right—combining their accounts will reward them with the fantastic First Order Stormtrooper skin at no cost. This offer is available until August 31st, so there’s no rush to claim your skin. However, it’s a free Stormtrooper skin, and who would want to pass up that opportunity? Don’t just take my word for it; check out the awesome new skin below!
BOW TO THE FIRST ORDER
What an exceptional skin! Until now, Force fans have only been able to play as the Sith Trooper from the Sequel Trilogy, so adding the First Order Stormtrooper is a welcome enhancement to our trooper roster. The skin looks fantastic and is remarkably accurate to the source material, allowing fans to enjoy running around in squads. Let’s be honest: the Fortnite map is more than ready to bow to the First Order, and with Captain Phasma on the way, the trooper ranks are set to receive significant reinforcement. But how do you claim this free skin, I hear you ask? Read on for the full details.
Link your eligible Epic Games Account with your MyDisney account. From now until August 31st, you can unlock the First Order Stormtrooper outfit in Fortnite if you connect your accounts. Stay tuned – this is just the start of something big from Epic and Disney!

RELEASE
The new Star Wars Battle Pass will be available starting May 2 and will remain active until June 8. This time frame includes Star Wars Day on May 4, which is always a big deal in Fortnite, as it is known for introducing fantastic new characters and cosmetics in the item shop. There’s a lot of buzz going around that lightsabers might finally be turned into pickaxes. Fans have been asking Epic Games to let Star Wars characters use lightsabers, and those wishes may soon come true. And with X-Wing and TIE Fighters coming as usable vehicles, the new season is set up to be a rollercoaster ride of Star Wars brilliance.
Whether you’re into Jedi, Sith, Rebels, or Mandalorians, there’s something for everyone from the Force. So, get ready to dive in because these new updates are coming in faster than the Millennium Falcon making the Kessel Run! What else does Epic Games have up its sleeve? Only time will tell, but I’ll be on the map and hunting Jedi as Grievous in no time. You’ve been warned!
Happy gaming, and may the Force be with you! Now, go and claim your free First Order Stormtrooper skin!
