An exclusive clip from the movie was shown to players who were at the Risky Reels section of the Fortnite map.

Fortnite has just aired an exclusive scene from the upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker movie in-game, in what is an extremely innovative move. An exclusive clip from the movie was shown at the game's Risky Reels section of its map, which showed Rey, Finn and Poe Dameron in action. The scene begins with stormtroopers approaching a ship asking for information, before being quickly shot down by Rey, Finn and Poe Dameron. Rey tells droids BB-8, D-0 and C-3PO to stay behind, as the mission is too risky. Poe asks which way should the team go, to which Finn responds, "No idea. Follow me." Rey then channels her inner Qui-Gon Jinn, and uses some Jedi mind tricks on a group of stormtroopers. "Does she do that to us?", asks Finn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=40&v=MAV4F8logbA&feature=emb_logo Clip via Exposzed You love to see it. The same crossover event saw Fortnite add lightsabres (the iconic weapon from Star Wars) to the game. Players can also get Finn, Rey and Sith Trooper outfits in the Fortnite item shop now. https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1205865027372244992?s=20 Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits cinemas on Thursday 19 December.
