The Fortnite x Star Wars: Galactic Battle collaboration is in full swing, bringing players an immersive season packed with an AI-voiced Darth Vader, a playful Darth Jar Jar, and thrilling sci-fi challenges. Amid this cosmic chaos, Epic Games has launched a new opportunity for Fortnite fans to claim a vibrant set of cosmetics, headlined by the Iridia Vayne skin, through the limited-time Celestial Strike Quest. Starting May 23, 2025, and running until June 7, 2025, at 11:30 AM PT (2:30 PM ET), players can unlock nine unique rewards by completing daily challenges. These cosmetics may later appear in the Fortnite Item Shop as paid items, so players should act fast to grab them for free.
The Celestial Strike Quest is a cooperative “Party Up” event, encouraging players to squad up and complete nine daily challenges. These quests, released one per day from May 23 to May 31, alternate between earning XP in creator-made islands and Epic Games’ official modes like Battle Royale and Zero Build. Completing all nine quests unlocks the Iridia Vayne skin, a glowing, celestial-themed outfit that complements the Star Wars: Galactic Battle season’s sci-fi aesthetic. Players have until June 7, 2025, at 11:30 AM PT (2:30 PM ET) to finish the full quest lineup and claim all rewards.
Here are the rewards for completing each Celestial Strike Quest:
Complete 1 Party Up - Celestial Strike Quest: “Alien Boy” Jam Track by Oliver Tree
Complete 2 Party Up - Celestial Strike Quests: Victory Plume Spray

Adding to the Star Wars excitement, the Mandalorian Rising update, launched today, introduces recruitable Mandalorian NPCs (Heavy, Scout, Supply, or Medic), the unvaulted Mandalorian Jetpack, and new weapons like the Westar-34 Blaster Pistols and Amban Sniper Rifle, enhancing the galactic gameplay experience. However, the season hasn’t been without controversy, as SAG-AFTRA has filed an unfair labor practice charge against Epic Games’ subsidiary, Llama Productions, over the use of AI to recreate James Earl Jones’ Darth Vader voice without union consultation, raising concerns about replacing human performers. Players should dive into Fortnite starting May 23 to complete the Celestial Strike Quest before June 7, 2025, at 11:30 AM PT (2:30 PM ET), and explore the latest Star Wars content while it’s available.
