The Force is strong with the Fortnite and Star Wars collaboration. With the latest v29.40 update, gamers can rescue Chewbacca and defeat Darth Vader in Battle Royale, jam out to the Cantina Band Track in Fortnite Festival, and take the fight to the Empire in LEGO Fortnite. Gamers can also obtain a wide range of new rewards, but not all of them require you to play the game to obtain them.

Much like many other events, Fortnite x Star Wars provides players with ample opportunities to obtain exclusive rewards via completing the Star Wars Quests in Battle Royale, and progressing through the Rebel Adventure Pass in LEGO Fortnite. However, avid Twitch viewers might also be excited to learn that additional free rewards have also taken the form of Twitch Drops. Here is how to get them!

Now that you have linked your Epic and Twitch accounts, it's time to claim your next reward. To acquire the Galaxies Collide Loading Screen, tune into any one of your favorite Fortnite Twitch Streamer's streams that have drops enabled. Next, select Fortnite's "Choose Your Side" extension (located next to the Twitch chat) and follow the instructions on the screen.

Once done so, viewers will need to keep their eye out for Star Wars-related icons to appear on the stream, and then click on them to catch them. Catching all 14 of these unique items will reward viewers with the Galaxies Collide Loading Screen. Viewers can also track the items they have collected by clicking on Fortnite's "Choose Your Side" extension and heading over to the 'Your Collection' tab.

Both the Growling Chewbacca Emoticon and the Galaxies Collide Loading Screen will only be available as Twitch Drop rewards until May 14, 2024.
