The Star Wars™ spawners are devices that spawn vehicles for your island at the spawner’s location and orientation.
For help on how to find the Star Wars Spawner devices, see Using Devices.
If you’re using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be useful to rename them. Choosing names that relate to the device’s purpose makes it easier to remember what each one does, and easier to find a specific device when using the Event Browser.
STAR WARS Vehicle Spawner Device Types
Below is a list of the types of Star Wars vehicle spawner devices you can use in your projects. These spawners are located in your project root under Star Wars™ Content/Devices/Vehicle.
While many vehicles in Fortnite support multiple passengers, all Star Wars vehicles are single seat.
| Vehicle Type | Vehicle Spawner Device Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | X-wing | Spawns a pilotable X-wing. It includes throttle controls to speed up, slow down, speed boost, and land (when close enough to a landable surface). The X-wing has two types of weapons — four wing-mounted, fast-firing laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. While in Strike foils (S-foils) flight mode where the wings are closed, you trade the ability to fight with weapons for a speed boost. |
 | Imperial TIE Fighter | Spawns a pilotable TIE Fighter. It includes throttle controls to speed up, slow down, speed boost, and land (when close enough to a landable surface). The TIE fighter has two types of weapons — two fast-firing laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. |
 | Naboo N-1 Starfighter | Spawns a pilotable N-1 starfighter. It includes throttle controls to speed up, slow down, speed boost, and land (when close enough to a landable surface). The N-1 starfighter has two types of weapons — two fast-firing laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher. |
 | Armored Assault Tank (AAT) | Spawns a drivable Armored Assault Tank (AAT). The AAT has two types of weapons — two side-mounted, fast-firing laser cannons and a main cannon that fires a heavy laser. |
 | DF.9 Turret | Spawns a controllable DF.9 turret. The DF.9 turret features a single barrel that fires an anti-infantry laser cannon. The pitch of the barrel and full 360-degree yaw rotation is player-controlled. |
 | Turbolaser Turret | Spawns a controllable Turbolaser turret. The Turbolaser turret features two barrels that fire heavy laser cannons in parallel. The pitch of the barrels and full 360-degree yaw rotation is player-controlled. |
