It was no April Fool’s joke when Fortnite announced on April 1 that it would enable developers to create “Star Wars“-inspired islands in Unreal Editor for Fortnite and Fortnite Creative.

Starting May 1, developers will be able to take characters, templates, tools and gameplay features, locations, vehicles and weapons from past Fortnite Battle Royale Seasons. The update allows developers to mix, match, and build their own “Star Wars” experiences for other players to explore.
