A new animated Star Wars show called Tales of the Underworld is coming to Disney Plus on May 4. However, two days before that,when Fortnite’s Galactic Battle season begins on May 2, you’ll be able to gather with everyone else and watch the first two episodes of the new show two days early.
To further celebrate the start of Star Wars Day this weekend alongside the start of the Galactic Battle season, Epic is giving every player the chance tounlock the First Order Stormtrooper skin for free. While it won’t simply be waiting for you in your locker on May 2, the steps you need to take to unlock it are pretty simple and won’t cost you a penny.

I’ve Been Assured Wearing It Won’t Affect Your Aim
The reveal via Epicthat you can claim a Stormtrooper skin for free details some of the steps you need to take to unlock the skin, and while the process is simple, it doesn’t make everything entirely clear. Once you have logged into your Epic Games account and you’re on the dashboard,head to the Apps & Accounts tabon the left-hand side. There, you’ll find tiles with options to link to various accounts, including MyDisney. From there you just need to follow the on-screen instructions and once complete, the skin will be added to your in-game locker in time for the watch party this Friday.
Even if you’re reading this after May 2, it’s not too late to claim your free skin.Anyone who connects their Epic and MyDisney accounts between now and June 02, 2025, will get the skin for free.
Some ofwhat Fortnite players can expect from the Galactic Battle season has already been revealed, including a General Grievous skin. Lightsabers will also be back, and there’s a hope that, after all these years,Epic will cave and make them pickaxes as well as weapons.
