This is the skin you’re looking for, Star Wars fans. Fortnite’s newest crossover skin is from the mega-hit sci-fi franchise and it’s all about the Empire.

The Imperial Stormtrooper skin is available in the in-game shop right now, but you can also get it for free if you purchase the new game, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, from the Epic Games Store.

The skin is available for 1,500 V-Bucks if Jedi Fallen Order isn’t your thing. The Stormtrooper skin might just be the beginning of Star Wars content in Fortnite. Lightsaber pickaxe, anyone?

Fortnite has previously teamed up with DC Comics for Batman and Marvel for an Infinity War crossover event. But now, the new skin comes from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Stormtroopers are notably terrible at aiming, so anyone who buys this new skin will hope it doesn’t affect how they play the battle royale title. For now, let’s just call it a great new addition to Fortnite’s skin collection.
