It’s that time of year again—the one where lightsabers clash a little louder, Jedi robes get a little more dramatic, and suddenly everyone’s quoting Yoda in work emails. May the 4th is nearly here, and Star Wars: The Old Republic is kicking off its celebrations early with a fresh batch of in-game events, discounts, and yes—an adorable mechanical companion who probably spies on everything. 45162l
Starting May 1st and running through May 16th, players can dive into double experience, grab massive Cartel Market discounts, and to receive a free B25-SAL Probe Droid Mini-Pet. It’s a full-blown party in the galaxy—not even the Sith could ignore these deals.
Collections Unlock Sale – Half the Price, All the Perks 292c4s
If you’ve ever hovered over that Collections unlock button and hesitated, now’s your moment. For the duration of the event, Collections unlocks are 50% off across the board. That means all those rare Cartel Market outfits, mounts, weapons, and cosmetic upgrades you’ve unlocked on one character can now be shared with your entire legacy—at half the cost.
It’s the kind of galaxy-wide clearance sale that would make even a Hutt pull out their wallet.
Cartel Market Discounts: Inspired By… Everything 2b4x72
Want to look like a Sith Lord who just walked off a holodrama set? Or a bounty hunter who definitely charges by the hour? The Cartel Market has you covered.
During the May the 4th event window, all “Inspired By” items are on sale for 25% to 75% off. That includes armors and weapons inspired by some very familiar galaxy-defining icons—though SWTOR is careful not to name names (for copyright reasons, of course).
This is the time to pick up those stylized sets you’ve been side-eyeing for months and finally finish that cosplay you’ve been assembling one cosmetic piece at a time.
Double XP: Level Like a Speeder on Overdrive 1t4jb
You know the drill: Double XP is live from May 1st to May 16th. Story missions, Flashpoints, PvP, Galactic Starfighter—you name it, it’s now twice as efficient. It’s the perfect time to roll a new alt, finish your class story backlog, or just bask in the chaos of running heroics at hyperspeed.
Bonus tip: Double XP also applies to Legacy XP, Valor, and Reputation, so there’s more to gain than just levels. It’s all about galactic progress, turbocharged.
Free B25-SAL Probe Droid Mini-Pet – Small, Shiny, and Watching You 485w71
any time during the event window and you’ll receive the B25-SAL Probe Droid Mini-Pet. It’s free, it’s tiny, and it probably has better sensors than your speeder.
Whether it’s floating behind your trooper in the Outer Rim or side-eyeing your enemies in PvP, this little guy is an excellent way to say “Happy Star Wars Day” without using words at all.
No purchase, no mission, no catch—just and claim it. Even Sith Lords need companions.
