Death Star Secrets You Might’ve Missed
While players were busy blasting through the Death Star’s corridors, Epic Games was sneaking in some of the most detailed references and hidden jokes we’ve seen in any Fortnite event. For example, jumping off narrow ledges triggered the classic Wilhelm scream, a nod to Star Wars fans everywhere.
From mouse droids scuttling around to voice lines taken straight from Return of the Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, the event was filled with nostalgia. We also saw quirky moments like Fishstick being randomly rifted into space, continuing his long-running gag of dying in trailers and live events.
There were also clues for future content. In Fishstick’s room, players spotted everything from a mythic goldfish to a llama statue lifting weights—possibly hinting at a new trophy item or upcoming mythic.
