Fortnite: Galactic Battle marks yet another massive crossover with the world of Star Wars, bringing with it the return of Lightsabers and Force Abilities, along with a whole host of Blasters to wield and unique POIs to explore. There’s a lot to uncover during this short season, leading to one of the biggest content drops yet.
That’s not all—players can also earn a roster of rewards for themselves. While many of these rewards are tied to the Galactic Battle Battle Pass, players can grab two free rewards simply by watching their favorite creators over on Twitch. Here’s how to get the Galactic Battle Twitch Drops in Fortnite.

How To Link Twitch & Epic Games Accounts
For players who have not done so already, to earn Twitch Drops in Fortnite, they must first ensure that their Epic Games account is linked to their Twitch account. Users can do this by heading over to the Fortnite website, clicking on their profile, and selecting Connected Accounts.
From there, locate the Twitch icon and select the Connect option. This will prompt players to log in to their Twitch account, where they can follow the on-screen instructions to link it to their Epic Games account. Once completed, players can move on to claiming their free Star Wars-themed rewards.

Following the trend of past Twitch Drop rewards available for Fortnite, players must tune into a live stream over on Twitch and watch for a specific length to earn the Galactic Battle Twitch Drops. Any live stream under the Fortnite category with Twitch Drops enabled will count, allowing players to watch their favorite creators and earn rewards with little effort. Here is a breakdown of all the rewards that players can earn:
- Galactic Duel Loading Screen: Watch any live stream in the Fortnite category from May 2 to May 5 for 15 minutes.
- Anakin’s Model Jedi Interceptor Back Bling: Watch any live stream in the Fortnite category from May 2 to May 5 for 1 hour.
Upon watching any Fortnite livestream for the required length of time, both rewards can be manually claimed via their Drops Inventory. Upon claiming each reward, it should be awarded to players in Fortnite right away. However, rewards can take up to 14 days to appear in certain cases.
Both the Galactic Duel Loading Screen and Anakin’s Model Jedi Interceptor Back Bling will be available as Twitch Drops starting May 2 at 9 AM ET, and will be available to claim until May 5 at 9 AM ET. They may reappear in the Item Shop at a later date.
