Fortnite Adds Lightsabers to Celebrate Star Wars May The 4th.
“With one quick sweep of a lightsaber, you gave hope to everyone who saw your blade. Except for the bad guys, that is. Your lightsaber brought them to their knees, and without spilling a drop of blood.” ― Ryder Windham, The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi
In celebration of May the 4th, Disney is again collaborating with Epic to bring Star Wars to millions of Battle Royal players.
Looks like a good bit of fun too (can’t wait for my Fortnite to update!).
Stars Wars and May the 4th be with you
First referenced in 1978 by conservatives in the UK posted a congratulatory note in the London Evening News for then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, May the 4th has been celebrated as Star Wars Day since 2011.
Since 2011 May the 4th has dictated special releases such as the Clone Wars (released May 4, 2020) and the documentary series Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian.
In 2013 Disney officially observed the holiday after purchasing LucasFilm and Stars Wars in 2012.
Today is the day to officially celebrate, so be sure to get your Death Star before midnight!
