Everyone was excited for the Fortnite Star Wars 2021 celebration. However, Epic Games chose to release the Wake Rider skin instead of the immensely popular Fortnite Star Wars skins in the item shop.Aligning itself with the popular quote from Star Wars, "May the force be with you," May 4th is observed as Star Wars day globally. The franchise saw daylight in 1977 and has been popular since. Thanks to its popularity, May 4th is informally celebrated as Star Wars day by the community.Note: This article expresses the opinion of the writer.Epic Games ends up trolling Fortnite fans on Star Wars dayWake Rider is now in the Item Shop.. pic.twitter.com/EgZAn61ACK— ShiinaBR - Fortnite Leaks (@ShiinaBR) May 4, 2021Fans of both Fortnite and Star Wars expected May 4th, 2021 to be something similar to May 4th, 2020. Last year's Star Wars celebration saw the arrival of Kylo Ren skin and light sabers along with a few other popular skins.EXACTLY. THEIR LOSS. NO ONE IS BUYING THAT SHITTY SKIN. You could argue, oh, how else would they release him, I SAY, NOT ON FUCKING STAR WARS DAY WHEN U HAVE STAR WARS SKINS IN YOUR OWN GAME— Itay Gobalak (@GobalakItay) May 4, 2021Donald mustard rn pic.twitter.com/TrzkkHtdjF— Spidey (@Spideythegreatt) May 4, 2021They're trolling, watch there be a huge Star Wars shop tonight with new cosmetics— True Gamer (@VidyaChat) May 4, 2021The event was an instant hit and fans were overjoyed with the light sabers in the game. However, the Fortnite Star Wars 2021 celebrations were exactly the opposite. The light sabers were nowhere to be found, nor were the Jedi or the Siths anywhere in the game.this is a dream right— fitzy🦊 (@FitzyLeakz) May 4, 2021They really forgot star wars day— Long_hair_dude (@Longhairdude5) May 4, 2021Why do I save money for nothing just for a shitty reskin to come out only reason people like it is because the same reason as fanatic cause of the anticipation but the skin is not good at all it’s lazy— I Talk Kane (@ITalkKane) May 4, 2021Instead, the community was greeted with the Wake Rider skin in the item shop, which didn't serve as compensation at all. This immediately sparked outrage within the community, with people expressing their displeasure at the Wake Rider skin. Epic Games, on the other hand, introduced the Fortnite Creative Mayhem Tournament, which has free prizes for people who sign up for it.Yep. Even restarted my game still no Star Wars. So maybe at 8 tonight? Blah.— Soup it's for my comrades 🏴🚩 (@Zerolymitz) May 4, 2021me going to epic hq rn pic.twitter.com/giaKJTi37o— read pinned pls 🍅 (@CTTOM4TO_YT) May 4, 2021why no Star Wars? :( pic.twitter.com/3U24qCJBjF— XxZealot2003xX (@XxZealot2003xX) May 4, 2021It's interesting to note that the days leading up to the Fortnite Star Wars 2021 celebration were quite interesting. The Fortnite 16.30 update arrived exactly a week ago, and based on the information that the data miners had brought forward, the Mando's Bounty LTM was unvaulted. It was believed that this LTM along with the Amban Sniper and the EC-11 Blaster will go live on May 4th. Sadly, the LTM and these weapons haven't gone live at the time of writing this article.Mando's LTM & Weapons were added this update and tomorrow is May 4th which lines up with epic's content updates day so there's a high chance for the LTM to return and you can get the umbrella if you don't have it! pic.twitter.com/GhAWvsMrvm— HYPEX (@HYPEX) May 3, 2021I'm assuming they're bringing back Mando's Bounty for May 4th— 🌴 HeeHee 🌴 (@ploomby) April 27, 2021Given the popularity that Fortnite has globally, the community was expecting the Star Wars 2021 celebration to take place in the game. Even Google is observing this day with a special animation whenever someone searches for Star Wars day today.Is this a fucking joke?? Or a nightmare???— Littledude21 (@littledude_21) May 4, 2021Having said that, the Fortnite Star Wars 2021 celebration would have been something really exciting for the community. Knowing how Epic Games likes to troll their community at times, there's a high chance that the Fortnite Star Wars skin may arrive in the item shop in a few hours, but that's just speculation for now.
