Mark Hamill and Ninja Are Going to Play Fortnite Together

The marriage between Star Wars and Fortnite has been quite interesting to watch. In the build-up to this week's release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Disney and Epic Games have rolled out an unprecedented tie-in campaign between the two brands. As a result, over the last month, players have been treated to a plethora of Star Wars-related content, and this past weekend that clip from the film played exclusively in the game. 




The video is not actually part of the Star Wars x Fortnite promotion, but rather part of Microsoft's Xbox Sessions videos, instead. In those videos, actors, athletes, streamers and more get together to showcase games and features available on Xbox. As such, it's not unusual that Microsoft would select Hamill for the Fortnite session, but the timing cannot be seen as anything other than deliberate. It's a smart move on Microsoft's part, as some will see the video as part of the overall tie-in, while others will simply tune-in in anticipation of the upcoming film.
