Fortnite is celebrating Star Wars in a big way this May with the upcoming Galactic Battle season. As part of this celebration, Epic Games is giving away a free First Order Stormtrooper skin to all players who take a simple action before August 31st. In this guide, I will explain to you how to get the First Order Stormtrooper skin in Fortnite, plus some exciting Star Wars content coming to the game.
How to Get the First Order Stormtrooper Skin in Fortnite for Free
To claim the free First Order Stormtrooper skin (with both the regular and LEGO styles), you just need to connect your Epic Games account with a MyDisney account. I will break the steps down for you:

Watch Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld Early in Fortnite
As an additional bonus, Fortnite is hosting a special in-game event where you can watch the first two episodes of the new animated series Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld before they premiere on Disney+. Here are the steps on how to join the watch party:
- Log in to Fortnite on May 2nd, 2025, starting at 10 AM ET.
- Look for the “Star Wars Watch Party” in the row of experiences after logging in.
- Alternatively, search for the island code 2124-6713-8076.
- Enter the island, find a seat, and enjoy the show!
After watching both episodes, you’ll receive the Asajj Ventress Loading Screen as a reward within 72 hours. In addition to that, the Watch Party island also has fun activities to try. You can head to the Battle Arena and fight enemies using blasters and lightsabers. There are different ways to earn points around the island, and don’t worry about getting knocked out by other players, because this mode is all about having fun.
