This weekend’s live Star Wars event added lightsabers to Fortnite – and now fans are properly having fun with them.
The addition of Star Wars’ elegant Jedi weapon allows for some high intensity duels. When holding one, you can attack and parry, block weapon fire and do a kind of ninja roll.

Unlike other mythic-quality weapons in the past (looking at you, Infinity Blade) the lightsaber is available to multiple players and across all modes. There are even different varieties, so you can play with Rey’s blue blade, Luke’s green, Mace Windu’s purple or Kylo Ren’s red.
