This Saturday is Star Wars Day and for sure the fandom has a lot of plans. In Star Wars: The Old Republic, everyone has the chance to get their hands on The Phantom Menace-inspired BX-24 droid. To get this mini-pet, all players need to do is log-in to the game from May 1 to May 16.

That's not all since players can also enjoy these during the period mentioned:

For this event, everyone is invited to the biggest spectacle which is The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally.

The Rakghoul Resurgence

Meanwhile over in Tatooine, an outbreak of the Rakghoul plague has resulted in The Hyland Organization for Rakghoul Neutralization (T.H.O.R.N.) to issue and official level-2 emergency alert.

T.H.O.R.N. is recruiting qualified volunteer emergency responders and asks them travel to affected areas to combat the spread of the Rakghoul plague.
