A Galactic Invasion

The season kicked off with the “Imperial Takeover,” where the island was overtaken by the First Order. New Points of Interest (POIs) like the First Order Base and Resistance Base emerged, offering players unique challenges and loot . Players could engage in intense battles, facing off against Stormtroopers and other formidable foes.

Mastering the Force

A standout feature of this crossover was the introduction of Force abilities.

These abilities added a strategic layer to combat, allowing players to manipulate the battlefield in new ways.

Iconic Characters and Mythic Loot

The Battle Pass featured skins of beloved Star Wars characters, including Poe Dameron, Emperor Palpatine, and General Grievous. Defeating bosses like Captain Phasma and Darth Vader Samurai rewarded players with Mythic items, such as the F-11D Blaster and the Sith Apprentice lightsaber, enhancing their combat prowess.

Starfighters and Aerial Combat

For the first time, players could pilot X-Wings and TIE Fighters, engaging in aerial dogfights and strategic assaults. These starfighters added a new dimension to gameplay, allowing for high-speed chases and intense sky battles.

The Grand Finale: Death Star Sabotage

The season’s climax, “Death Star Sabotage,” took place on June 7, 2025. Players embarked on a daring mission to infiltrate the Death Star, facing off against Emperor Palpatine in a cinematic showdown. The event featured cooperative gameplay, allowing squads of up to four players to join forces in this epic battle.

Beyond the Battle Royale

The collaboration extended beyond the Battle Royale mode.

Additionally, Rocket League introduced “Car Wars,” a limited-time mode where players could engage in Star Wars-themed vehicular combat.

Looking Ahead

As the Galactic Battle season concludes, players can look forward to the upcoming Chapter 6 Season 4, rumored to introduce a superhero theme. While the Star Wars content has concluded for now, the success of this crossover event has set a high bar for future collaborations in Fortnite.

Beyond the climactic Death Star Sabotage event, Fortnite players have even more to look forward to in the coming weeks. Epic Games has hinted at the launch of Chapter 6, Season 4, which is rumored to shift from the galactic wars of Star Wars to a multiverse of superheroes, possibly involving characters from both Marvel and DC universes. This transition could bring back fan-favorite heroes like Spider-Man, Batman, and Wolverine, along with fresh new faces introduced through multiverse portals.

In addition, players can expect the return of creative mode expansions, with leaks suggesting a major upgrade to Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), allowing even more custom game experiences. Rumors also point to a new in-game concert event, potentially featuring a popular pop or EDM artist, adding another layer of Fortnite’s crossover entertainment appeal.

For those invested in the Star Wars content, collectibles from the Galactic Battle will carry over to Fortnite Festival and LEGO Fortnite, giving them extended value. With ongoing collaborations, live events, and evolving gameplay mechanics, Fortnite continues to prove it’s more than a battle royale — it’s a living platform for interactive entertainment. Season 4 promises to keep the momentum strong for longtime fans and new players alike.

Fortnite’s “Galactic Battle” has redefined crossovers in gaming, offering an immersive experience that brought the Star Wars universe to life in new and exciting ways.
