Star Wars season is here in Fortnite, and Epic Games is giving away a free back bling to celebrate. It's called the Carbonite Fishstick backbling, and it's exactly what it sounds like. The iconic Fishstick skin frozen in carbonite, just like Han Solo. It's a hilarious cosmetic, and what’s even better is that you don't need to spend a single V-Buck to get it. Here is the method on how to get Carbonite Fishstick Backbling in Fortnite for free.

What Is the Carbonite Fishstick Backbling?

The Carbonite Fishstick is a free backbling available as part of the 2026 Star Wars celebration. This one is a fun nod to the famous scene where Han Solo gets frozen in carbonite, except it's Fishstick's face on it instead.

You can pair it with pretty much any skin in your locker, which makes it a great addition even if you're not a huge Star Wars fan.

Once you're done, the Carbonite Fishstick backbling will automatically show up in your Fortnite locker. No need to claim it manually or go anywhere else in the game.

The offer is only available until October 31st, 2026, so while you have a few months, it's better not to wait too long, or you'll forget it. If you already linked your Epic and MyDisney accounts before, you don't need to do anything. Just check your locker, and the backbling should already be there. 

As for whether it'll ever show up in the Item Shop, Epic hasn't said anything about it yet. It might come back eventually, but you'd have to pay V-Bucks for it, so grabbing it for free right now is definitely the better deal. As always, May the 4th be with you!
