Fortnite Star Wars Event: Start Time And How To Play Death Star Sabotage

Fortnite’s Star Wars season is almost over, but there’s still one more big thing left on the schedule before we dive into a more traditional summer season of battle royale: the Death Star Sabotage live event! Unlike past Star Wars incursions into Fortnite, which ended with the Empire or First Order just kinda bailing, we’re getting a proper wrap-up here that will involve players teaming up to invade the Death Star, which has been looming over the island all season, and presumably blow it up.

While Fortnite has frequently held ambient live events that took place during battle royale matches, Death Star Sabotage will be the sort of event that’s usually reserved for the end of a chapter. We haven’t had a live event like this one in the middle of a chapter since the Collision event at the end of Chapter 3 Season 2, almost exactly three years ago. Fittingly, it was what happened during that event that drew Darth Vader to the island in Fortnite’s story.

It won’t be long now until we get to take on Emperor Palpatine. Here’s what we know.

When is Fortnite’s Star Wars event, Death Star Sabotage?

Fortnite’s Death Star Sabotage live event will take place on Saturday, June 7 at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT. It will be its own separate mode in the Discover pane, and will be available to join two hours before the start time, at noon ET / 9 AM PT. It will likely be the only mode available by the time it starts, so it should be hard to miss.

This is a one-time-only thing, and there won’t be any encores, so don’t be late! But if you can’t make it yourself, there will still be plenty of folks streaming it on

, and elsewhere.

What to expect from Fortnite’s Star Wars event

If the event is similar to past ones, it will be a fairly short, scripted, and linear experience, approximately 10-20 minutes long. It’ll have interactive elements, and there will be targets to shoot and objectives to complete, but it’s not intended to test your skills. Think of it more like an interactive theme park ride.

There haven’t yet been any leaks about what’s in store, but judging by the key art, we’ll be seeing some Fortnite characters disguised as stormtroopers, as players fly up to the Death Star to fight the Emperor and disable some shields and/or tractor beams. But that’s just a hunch.

To get a sense of what we’re probably in for, check out this replay of the Collision event from June 2022.

What happens after the event ends?

Fortnite is likely to go offline entirely once the event ends, and will stay that way for about half a day, when the new season begins on Sunday morning.
