Star Wars is back in Fortnite again, and this time it’s bringing the heat with a set of free Twitch Drops as part of the Galactic Battle event. One of the standout freebies is Anakin Skywalker’s Model Jedi Interceptor Back Bling, which you can grab for a limited time. Whether you’re a fan of the prequels or love free loot, here’s how you can get this cosmetic without spending a single V-Buck in Fortnite.
When Can You Unlock Anakin’s Jedi Model Interceptor?
The Galactic Battle Twitch Drops event runs from May 2, 2025, at 9 AM ET and ends on May 5, 2025, at 9 AM ET. That gives you three days to jump into Twitch, spend time with your favorite Fortnite Twitch streamers, and get rewarded with Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor for doing nothing. So don’t stress too much if you can’t hop on the first day, just make sure you get at least an hour of watch time on any qualifying Fortnite stream before the deadline.
A lot of Fortnite’s great cosmetics live behind paywalls or battle passes. So anytime Epic hands something out for free, especially something as iconic as Anakin’s Interceptor, you directly jump on it. It’s a slick Star Wars tie-in that fans will appreciate, and it adds a fun flair to your loadout. Further, even if you’re not a huge Star Wars nerd, this drop is tied to one of the most recognizable ships in the franchise. It’s a unique fine piece of back bling, and considering it might arrive in the Items Shop later, grabbing it now for free is a smart move.
How to Get Free Anakin’s Model Jedi Interceptor Back Bling in Fortnite
The first thing to do is to link your Epic Games and Twitch accounts. If you haven’t done it yet, head over to the Fortnite website and sign in. From your profile, go to Connected Accounts and hit the Connect button next to Twitch. Log in with your Twitch account and follow the prompts to get everything synced.
Once accounts are connected, watch Fortnite streams on any Twitch channel with drops enabled. You don’t have to watch any specific streamer, but make sure to watch someone streaming Epic Games’ Battleroyale who has Twitch Drops turned on. You’ll know it’s working when you see a little Drops notification at the top of the chat window.
To unlock Anakin’s Model Jedi Interceptor Back Bling, watch 1 hour of Fortnite gameplay. It doesn’t have to be all in one go, and you can multitask while watching. Just leave the stream running in the background while you do your other things.
After completing the required watch time, don’t forget to manually claim your reward. Go to your Twitch Drops Inventory and select the claim button. After that, it should appear in your Fortnite inventory instantly, though sometimes it can take a while, even up to two weeks, so be patient.
Alongside Anakin’s Model Jedi Interceptor back bling, there’s also the Galactic Duel Loading Screen, which you can unlock by watching just 15 minutes of Fortnite streams. It’s a no-brainer add-on if you’re already grinding out the hour for the back bling. These two Twitch Drops are part of the broader Star Wars: Galactic Battle celebration in Fortnite, so expect tons of themed content, from Lightsabers and Force powers to other cosmetics in the item shop.
