Din Djarin and Grogu have come to you!
The legendary Mandalorian and galaxy’s cutest icon, Grogu, has touched down in your world. Complete their vacation tasks, and you'll unlock sleek hovering Vehicle Blueprints and Guided Builds as your reward!

New Journals and rewards unlock each week throughout May, on these dates: 5/15–5/16, 5/22–5/24, and 5/29–5/30.
Din Djarin and Grogu can be recruited as permanent villagers during their stay, but if you don't recruit them before the new LEGO Fortnite update drops, they'll pack up and leave your world for good.

SoroSuub Deluxe Landspeeder
Ubrikkian Cargo Speeder
Boxcar Speeder Bike (also unlockable after the event ends)

Introducing the Hover Brick!
A brand-new toy inspired by the Star Wars universe! Snap it onto your creations and watch them glide effortlessly across the landscape. Land traversal will never feel the same again.
The Hover Brick counteracts gravity, letting your builds glide effortlessly above the ground. Flip the switch and watch your creations rise!
Track down The Mandalorian and strike up a conversation. He'll show you the ropes of the brand-new Hover Brick! Once you've chatted with Mando, you'll unlock your very first Hover Vehicle Guided Build, putting you on the fast track to crafting your own Star Wars-style ride.
Then it's time to build, boost, and blast off into your very own galactic adventure!
You'll need Durasteel and Plastoid, the essential ingredients for getting your hovercraft off the ground. Lucky for you, the Star Wars-themed enemies invading the Main Island are packing exactly the ingredients you need, so suit up and start farming!
Complete Din Djarin and Grogu's vacation requests to earn brand-new vehicle Blueprints designed specifically to take advantage of the Hover Brick. From sleek speeders to rugged skiffs, the galaxy's coolest rides are yours to claim.
Tackle Din Djarin's quest line, and you'll be rewarded with the resources you need to get your whole fleet hovering. Helping the Mandalorian pays off, literally!
We've reshuffled the Mobility tab in the Contraptions menu, making it easier to find what you need!
Pro Tips for Hover Brick:
Place the Hover Brick and use a wrench to interact with it. Then set a channel that can be activated with a driver's seat or switch.
Hover Bricks lift to a set distance from the ground. If they’re placed too high in a build, they won’t lift.
Hover Bricks have a weight limit.
For a smooth, stable ride, try placing four Hover Bricks at opposite corners of your build.
Pair them with Thrusters to add steering and propulsion.
Lightsaber Overhaul
Three New Blade Colors have arrived! Choose from White, Yellow, and Purple — joining Blue, Green, and Red for a total of six color options.
Your blade color now reflects how you fight — choose wisely!
Every Lightsaber now comes with one of three distinct combat styles, each with its own signature attacks and special abilities:
Defense (Blue & White) — Block incoming strikes and fight back enemies with devastating counterattacks.
Aggression (Red & Purple) — Go on the offensive with relentless combos. Just keep an eye on your stamina!
Fluidity (Green & Yellow) — Soar into battle with acrobatic aerial combos and unmatched mobility.
Craft Your Own at the Rebel Workbench
Lightsabers are no longer one-and-done legendary finds — you can now forge your own at the Rebel Workbench in Tier 4, 6, and 8 rarities. Heads up: crafted Lightsabers are durable but can break with heavy use, so keep a backup handy!
Hunt for Kyber Crystals
A brand-new resource has entered the galaxy. Kyber Crystals are the heart of every Lightsaber. Track them down to craft your own.
What About My Old Lightsabers?
All existing Lightsabers, including those gifted by Captain Bravara, looted from Imperial Bunkers, or earned through the Codex, will be converted to Tier 4 Lightsabers with durability. Your collection isn't going anywhere!
Power Up with Runes
Lightsabers can now be enhanced at the Rune Forge. Apply Runes to customize your blade and tailor it to your playstyle.
Arm Your Allies
You can now hand off Lightsabers to your NPC followers. Build a saber-wielding squad and storm the battlefield together!
Kyber Crystals — The Heart of Every Lightsaber
A legendary new resource has arrived in your world! Kyber Crystals are the key ingredient for crafting your very own Lightsaber, and hunting them down is half the adventure.
Kyber Crystals come in all six Lightsaber colors: Blue, Green, Red, Purple, White, and Yellow. The crystal you find determines the color (and fighting style!) of the blade you craft, so collect them all to master every combat form.
Crystals come in Tier 4, 6, and 8 varieties. The rarer the crystal, the more powerful the Lightsaber you can forge with it.
Where to Find Them
On the Main Island — Take down Star Wars-themed enemies, crack open special chests, and complete event rewards to score crystals during the limited-time event.
On the Rebel Island — Battle Star Wars-themed enemies, loot chests, and earn rewards both during and after the event, making this your go-to crystal-hunting spot once the celebration ends.
New Creatures from a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Porg — These adorable little birdlike critters are as charming as they are harmless. Lead one back to your barn to tame it and add a feathered friend to your village.
Bantha — Big, woolly, and surprisingly mellow. These gentle giants can also be tamed by guiding them home to your barn, perfect for any farm in need of a Tatooine touch.
Nexu — This vicious predator boasts bone-crushing jaws, a deadly pouncing leap, and absolutely zero chill. Approach with caution and a weapon.
Rancor — A towering nightmare of muscle and rage. The Rancor lives for one thing: leveling everything in its path. Bring your bravest squad…and maybe a Lightsaber.
These creatures will roam the Main Island for the duration of the Star Wars event. Once the celebration ends, they'll relocate to make their permanent home on Star Wars Rebel Island, so if you want to encounter them on the Main Island, the clock is ticking!
Any Porgs or Banthas you tame on the Main Island during the event will stay in your village permanently, even after the event wraps up. Don't miss your chance to lock in these galactic companions while they're still around!
Additions:
We tracked down and fixed the issue causing stutters and frame rate drops while building, especially on lower-end hardware.
Starting with this update, Bus Stations will now glow while Fast Travel is in use.
Look up — the skies have changed! For the duration of the Star Wars event, your world's skybox has been transformed:
Twin suns now blaze overhead, Tatooine-style; the moon has been replaced by the Death Star, looming ominously above, and keep your eyes peeled for X-Wing flyovers zooming across the sky!
We've redesigned the channel modification screen for vehicle toys from the ground up! All 10 channels are now laid out in a cleaner, more intuitive format, making it way easier to understand how the channel system actually works and dial in your vehicles exactly the way you want.
We've majorly improved the flip input for vehicles; instead of just spinning you in place, it now does a much better job of getting your ride back on its wheels (or hover pads) where it belongs. Smaller vehicles, especially wheeled ones, will feel the biggest difference. Less time stuck upside down, more time tearing across the landscape!
