According to recent leaks, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 is bringing another Star Wars event to Fortnite, which will allow you to use the Force. We have the details for you.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 is just around the corner, and we can expect some really nice stuff. Besides new POIs and a new Battle Pass, we can even expect a new Star Wars event!
There have been several big Star Wars crossover events in the past that even directly impacted the story of The Rise of Skywalker, and it seems that the next event will be pretty big as well.
New Star Wars - Skins And "The Force" In Fortnite
As so often, the leaks come from our good old friend iFireMonkey, who has almost always been right with many of his claims in the past.
He claims that in the next Star Wars event, players will be able to use the powers of the Force. In previous events, we've been able to use lightsabers and blasters and even walk around the island as iconic Star Wars characters, but it remains to be seen how the powers will work.
The Force is described in very broad terms in Star Wars. It can be used to crash huge ships, manipulate minds, strangle people, spin opposites around in the air, and so on. So it's difficult to predict how it will be implemented in-game.
According to iFireMonkey, we will be able to use the following powers in Fortnite:
- Force Lift
- Force Jump
- Force Lightning
- Force Pull
- Force Push
- Force Rip
- Force Script
- Force Vacuum
We will have a new Star Wars x Fortnite collaboration in Chapter 4 - Season 2 featuring not ONLY Light Sabers returning but Force Powers such as:

- Force Push
- Force Rip
- Force Script
- Force Vacuum
Apparently, lightsabers are also set to return to Fortnite, as well as two new Star Wars skins appearing in the game.

Unfortunately, we don't yet know all new Star Wars characters that will appear in Fortnite, but recently they have revealed that Anakin Skywalker will join the island on May 2, 2023.

With this we have both Anakin Skywalker as well as his evil future self, Darth Vader, both fighting for supremacy on the island. Maybe this time Anakin may come out on top.
Besides that, we do know that there will be two new skins, currently codenamed "CirrusVine" and "PlotTwist". Also, back blings, pickaxes, gliders, and emotes will be available in addition to the skins within their sets.
The upcoming Star Wars skins seem to have these cosmetics in their set, based on the game files:
