Epic Games is the latest studio joining in the May the Fourth celebrations. For a whole fortnight, Fortnite is bringing back many of its Star Wars weapons, items, and costumes.

Starting today, until 17th May, players can get lightsabres, blasters, Imperial Stormtrooper outfits, a Boba Fett costume, and more. Not every single Star Wars item is returning — like the Mandalorian’s — but most will be there.

Here’s a list of everything we know that’s available for the next two weeks of Star Wars celebrations, taken from Epic Games’ blog:

  • Four lightsabers: Luke Skywalker’s green, Kylo Ren’s red, Mace Windu’s purple, and Obi-Wan’s blue — so slightly different from the last collaboration’s, which was Rey’s.
  • E-11 Blaster Rifle, which you get from exchanging Bars at checkpoints.
  • You can earn an Empire Banner by going through Stormtrooper training and completing five quests.
  • All non-Battle pass outfits are back in the Item Shop

So, what are you waiting for? Use the Force and get your Star Wars gear all the way until 17th May. Make sure you let us know what you think of the event in the comments!
