How to Get Star Wars Twitch Drop Items in Fortnite
Earn free Star Wars Twitch drop items like Growling Chewbacca emote and Galaxies Collide Loading Screen in Fortnite with this guide.
As Fortnite celebrates Star Wars, you can acquire free in-game rewards by watching Twitch streams. This event offers a Growling Chewbacca emote and the exclusive Galaxies Collide loading screen. This article breaks down the steps to get all the Star Wars Twitch Drop Items in Fortnite.
How to Get Star Wars Twitch Drop Items in Fortnite
Earning the free Star Wars rewards in Fortnite requires a few easy steps.
First, you’ll need to link your Twitch and Epic accounts. Then, you can tune into special Fortnite streams on Twitch and complete simple interactive objectives to unlock the items.
Earning the Growling Chewbacca Emoticon
To get the adorable Wookiee emote, you must link your Twitch and Epic accounts. This linking occurs on the Fortnite website, not Twitch:
- Visit Fortnite.com and log in
- Click your profile icon
- Select “Account”
- Go to the “Apps and Accounts” tab
- Click “Connect” under the Twitch icon
After linking accounts, open Twitch and find a Fortnite stream with the “Choose Your Side” extension enabled (look for Fortnite symbols on the screen).
Click “Grant” to allow extension access. Now the Chewbacca emote will eventually arrive in your Fortnite account!
Earning the Galaxies Collide Loading Screen
For the loading screen, just watching isn’t enough – you must actively click items during streams. Once linked, tune into any enabled stream and be ready:
- When Star Wars characters or imagery appears on screen, quickly click on them before they disappear! You’ll see these “catch” opportunities frequently.
In the extension overlay, track your collected item progress out of 14 total. Get them all, and the loading screen is yours!
The Choose Your Side Extension & Takeovers
This Star Wars event utilizes Twitch’s new Choose Your Side extension. Streamers enable it, allowing viewers to click Star Wars items that appear during the broadcast.
But there’s more! If a channel’s community collectively catches enough items, the streamer can trigger a Takeover on another channel using the extension. This floods that channel with clickable Star Wars items that its viewers must quickly click on to end the Takeover.
So stay alert – you may encounter an influx of catch opportunities during a Takeover on any given stream!
Conclusion
While slightly more effort than typical Twitch drops, it’s straightforward enough for any Fortnite Star Wars fan. Just link accounts through Fortnite first, then stay alert on Twitch clicking away.
This special event lasts until May 14th at 3 PM ET, so you should hustle to snag their free Star Wars loot!
Between the cute Chewy emote and loading screen, these rewards will make a fine addition to any collection. For more Fortnite news, check out our other guides.
