In the biggest LEGO Fortnite<\/a> collaboration to date, characters and items from Star Wars are coming to the brick-based Fortnite spin-off later this week.<\/p>\n

As the real-life LEGO Star Wars<\/a> range celebrates its 25th birthday, it just makes sense for LEGO Fortnite to get involved in the party.<\/p>\n

After all, Disney has made a big investment<\/a> in Epic Games recently, making Fortnite and Star Wars even closer than they already were.<\/p>\n

So, when does the LEGO Fortnite Star Wars event kick off, and what Star Wars goodies should we expect from the update? Read on to learn more!<\/p>\n

When is the LEGO Fortnite Star Wars event? Start date and time<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The LEGO Fortnite Star Wars event will begin on Friday 3rd May 2024<\/strong>, as part of an overarching Fortnite Star Wars event<\/a> that will also impact Battle Royale, Fortnite Festival, Rocket Racing and the Item Shop.<\/p>\n

This might be a day earlier than you expected, with May the 4th (be with you) often being a fan-favourite date on which companies release Star Wars content.<\/p>\n

Fortnite will enter a period of downtime beforehand. The v29.40 update will patch in the new Star Wars content, which should hopefully be live in the UK by 2pm BST on 3rd May 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
