The galaxy far, far away has come Fortnite on Saturday. New clip for Star Wars IX: The Skywalker Rise it was drawn violently through the game for players to see.
The event took place at the movie theater, Rice Reels, and allowed players to watch Geoff Keighley's brief presentation as soon as the Prime Minister started at around 2:12 p.m. ET – after a 10-minute delay to allow more players to sign in.
The event began with the Millennium Falcon flying over the map and the many destroyers of the Order of Star. After the ships emerge a large area is battled with torn-out TIE Fighter strikes heading towards some of the most visible areas on the map. The Falcon eventually wins First Order ships and land around the players.
Geoff Keighley's guess came out and introduced the clip to the players. After a brief introduction from the excited Storm Trooper, J.J. Abrams himself – or a Fortnite in his play – off the stage to present the clip. Fans of the game were given the opportunity to vote on what they thought the clip would be.
The clip was about a minute late and showed Rey, Finn, and Poe going down to the First Order Star Destroyer. As they continue on into the boat, two storms stop them. Rey sends them off with a clever Jedi plan.
After the clip prime players were allowed to choose their favorite coloraber, before the release of the Jedi weapon the game structure was released thanks to a chest brought by the Millennium Falcon. Lightabers seem to now be a part of this level Fortnite weapons and ammunition for a Star Wars blaster.
As part of the event, Epic has entrusted players to mark the new Star Wars-glitter given to be removed from the TIE whisper First Order ships from the movie. Every player who dropped into the Prime Minister's event mode received a sputum as soon as they got off the battle bus.
Not everyone wanted to participate in the clip's success. Epic got into some serious server issues before the event started, around 1 p.m. ET, which has given many players access to their Epic account. Apart from these issues the prime minister was a huge event no doubt with millions of people watching on Twitch and other broadcast platforms as well as many players who were able to enter the game.
Epic's deal with Disney and Lucasfilm doesn't end on this Star Wars episode either. There are also Star Wars skins in the store including Rey, Finn and Sith Stormtrooper. This is the second major collaboration Epic has had with a Disney movie this year, after Avengers: Endgame event in Fortnite release of this movie.
