Fortnite is bringing back some of its popular Star Wars content over the next two weeks to mark May the 4th Day.

Rather than just the one day, however, the items will be available for two weeks starting from today until May 17. Classic Star Wars items from years past will be available to players, as well as special Quests that will unlock an Empire Banner for the battle royale. Epic Games promises that “every non-Battle Pass Star Wars Outfit” from the item shop will return.

Of course, you can’t have a Star Wars celebration without Lightsabers. Players will be able to grab Luke Skywalker’s, Kylo Ren, Mace Windu and Obi-Wan’s respective ones from across the island. If you prefer something a little less elegant for a civilized age, you can also find the E11 Blaster Rifle instead by heading to checkpoints across the island – or in chests and on the ground.

The outfits that’ll be available in the Fortnite shop over the two week period will include the following costumes:

  • Imperial Stormtrooper
  • Kylo Ren
  • Zorii Bliss
  • Finn
  • Rey
  • Sith Trooper
  • Boba Fett
  • Fennec Shand
  • Krrsantan
