The highly anticipated collaboration was announced on April 15, 2024, and since then, there has been no shortage of excitement. The most debatable part was which characters were coming in this crossover. In the Fortnite Festival, it was revealed that the Cantina Band would feature in Fortnite. But fans were sure this was not the end. And hence, rapid speculations have begun regarding Chewbacca, and he is here.
As per certain leaks and also the image revealed by Fortnite, his weapon, the Bowcaster, will be available in the game as a mythic item. Not only that but the items and weapons of the Olympian Boss will also return. These weapons are probably going to replace the Avatar: The Last Airbender mythic items as well.
What Else Is Waiting for Fortnite Fans?
The Cantina Band has already been revealed. Now, along with Chewbacca, players can expect Rebel Leia Organa, AWR Trooper (Death Trooper), Wookie, and Lando Calrissian as well. Among the returning wings of Icarus, thunderbolts of Zeus, and chants of Hades.
Not only that, the most fascinating part of Star Wars, Lightsabers, will also be added to the game once this collaboration goes live. That’s why players have to leave no stone unturned to complete the Elements Pass because if the Star Wars event goes live, it will become unavailable.
The Fortnite Chewbacca LEGO character was revealed on April 25, 2024. This version was already showcased in the previous teaser. The most hyped part about the inclusion of this character has to be the long-awaited Wookie Bowcaster.
According to certain leaks, this weapon will have the same mechanism as the previous Star Wars weapons like the DC-15 Blaster Rifle, the First Order Blaster Rifle, the E-11 Blaster Rifle, and many more. These weapons might also feature in the upcoming event, as well as returning items.
This is all we have on Chewbacca’s skin reveal from Fortnite. The Star Wars event in the game goes live on Star Wars Day, which is on May 3, 2024.
