The Galaxy Far, Far Away Just Got a UEFN Passport

Epic Games has confirmed that Star Wars characters and other assets are being added to Fortnite UEFN alongside the launch of Chapter 7 Season 2 on March 19, 2026. The announcement came in a characteristically cheeky way — the official Fortnite Developers account on X shared a video featuring Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader on a desktop screen that zoomed in and launched into hyperspace upon clicking on the Unreal Editor for Fortnite, captioned “That’s no moon… it’s a toolset?!” — a nod to the iconic Star Wars line.

This isn’t just a cosmetic crossover. Players will soon be able to legally use Star Wars assets — including characters, buildings, and the iconic Lightsabers — when building their own Fortnite UEFN experiences, with Lightsabers being among the first collaboration Mythics to arrive in UEFN.

Think original Star Wars storylines, fully custom roleplay maps, Jedi vs Sith arenas, Death Star recreations — all built by the community, for the community. The creative possibilities are genuinely exciting. Learn more about the broader Star Wars universe that’s fuelling all this creativity on the Star Wars Wikipedia page.

Brace Yourself — Vader Brainrot Is Coming

Let’s be real: alongside the genuinely creative builds, the inevitable “Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader” and “Death Star Tycoon” maps are going to start appearing everywhere — though UEFN developers could put fresh twists on these using the expanded asset library.

UEFN has already transformed Fortnite’s ecosystem in a big way, with Epic even redesigning its lobby UI to handle the sheer volume of community-made modes. Star Wars assets will only pour more fuel on that creative fire — for better or brainrot.
