This guide will tell players everything they need to know about the end of the Star Wars event in Fortnite, including its expected end date and all the activities players to participate in before it's removed from the game.

When Does the Star Wars Event End?

The Fortnite x Star Wars event went live on May 3, right after the end of the Avatar: The Last Airbender event. Gamers were surprised to learn that this would be a major in-game event, especially right after a massive three-week collab with another franchise. Nevertheless, fans have tons of quests to complete and free goodies to unlock, so it's important to know when Star Wars will be in Fortnite.

The Star Wars event doesn't have an official date, unlike most events, it varies for each game mode. Here is when players can expect the Star Wars festivities to end for the various Fortnite game modes:

  • Battle Royale: May 14 at 9 AM ET
  • Fortnite Festival: May 14 at 9 AM ET
  • Rocket Racing: May 20 at 9 AM ET
  • LEGO Fortnite: July 23 at 8 AM ET
