Video: Previewing Fortnite's New "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu" Watch Party Island
There's a lot to do around Nevarro City.
During last month's visit to Jon Favreau's Thunder Alley Studio in Southern California, I was able to preview the three new Fortnite games, "Galactic Siege," "Droid Tycoon," and "Escape Vader." But I was also given the opportunity to play around in Fortnite's new Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island. Check out my video recap of my experience below.
What's Happening:
- During a recent visit to Jon Favreau's Thunder Alley Studio (thanks to a generous invitation from Epic Games), I previewed three new Fortnite Star Wars games: "Galactic Siege," "Droid Tycoon," and "Escape Vader." That video was made available to view on Laughing Place's YouTube channel at the end of April.
- I also spent half an hour playing the newly released Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island on Fortnite during the same event. You can watch my video of that experience below.
