Star Wars Day is still one of the most special days of the year for fans of the legendary franchise. Fortnite does its best to honor this with cool events and new cosmetics.

As such, Fortnite’s tribute to Star Wars Day in 2022 continues the pattern of previous years as Epic has already teased certain items will be unvaulted and has hinted at new ones – Obi-Wan Kenobi included.

Will Obi-Wan Kenobi be in Fortnite?

Fortnite’s official website teased on May 3, 2022, that the heroic Jedi will feature in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 2 in some capacity.

When outlining the event and what players can expect, they said: “Lightsabers are back! Pick up Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber, Kylo Ren’s Lightsaber, and Mace Windu’s Lightsaber across the Island. What about the blue lightsabers? There are blue ones too, but this time they’re Obi-Wan’s.”

They also say that: “Stormtroopers have set up checkpoints in search of Obi-Wan.”

As well as an image confirming the presence of his blue Lightsaber, a teaser trailer also seemed to insinuate that Obi-Wan will make an appearance.

Popular leaker iFireMonkey Tweeted out the video which you can see below.

The E-11 Blaster Rifle, the weapon of Star Wars’ Imperial Stormtroopers, has arrived in Fortnite for the May the 4th celebration. Here’s where to find all of the Stormtrooper Checkpoints, and how to get your hands on the E-11 Blaster Rifle.

Star Wars Day is almost here, and Fortnite’s 20.30 update looks to celebrate May 4 by bringing back all of the Star Wars skins to the Item Shop, unvaulting Lightsabers, and introducing the new E-11 Blaster Rifle.

Similar to the First Order Blaster Rifle that came before, the E-11 Blaster Rifle has unlimited ammo, deals 30 damage per hit, and has a respectable 4.75 fire rate. You’ll need to get your hands on one to complete the Star Wars Day Quests, but it’s a powerful choice when fighting for a Victory Royale.

Stormtroopers can be found at the Stormtrooper Checkpoints around the map, and you’ll only need to fork out 100 Gold Bars to purchase one of their E-11 Blasters. These new Blasters are Mythic-rarity weapons, so 100 Gold is an extremely reasonable price.
