Claim A Free Droid Mini-Pet In Star Wars The Old Republic To Celebrate Star Wars Day

Star Wars The Old Republic s the sci-fi community once again in celebrating May the Fourth, a.k.a. Star Wars Day, with free droids for everyone! This year also happens to mark the 25th year since Episode I: The Phantom Menace first came out and Broadsword didn’t up the opportunity to give a nod to the first of the prequel trilogy films.

In line with the movie’s 25th anniversary, this year’s SWTOR Star Wars Day giveaway is the boxy BX-24 droid inspired by Darth Maul, minus the dual wield lightsabers. Players can claim the free mini-pet by logging in from now until May 16. They’ll also enjoy double XP gains and big discounts on cash shop items throughout the Star Wars Day event.

If you’re looking for a big dose of nostalgia, The Phantom Menace is airing in cinemas again today, followed by a marathon screening of the entire Skywalker saga on Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you!
