Happy Star Wars Day!

May the 4th be with you! Today actually happens to be a real holiday in the UK as well, so I'm enjoying a long weekend.

If you like promotions and free stuff, SWTOR has you covered as usual with double XP, freebies for simply logging in, a 50% off collections sale and discounts on various Cartel Market items. I myself picked up the Shadow Sentry armour set this time (aka sexy Twi'lek lady from Star Wars: Visions season 3), a set that I'd kinda liked but not enough to buy it at full price. At 40% off it was an easy purchase, however.

My inquisitor on Shae Vizla is still grumpy even in a great outfit though. Life on Korriban be like that.

Tangentially related, do you remember how close to three years ago I bought myself a posable Darth Malgus figure when it came out? I won't blame you if you don't, but the point is that I said at the time that I now needed Hasbro to bring out a Satele as well so they could do battle in my living room. It took them three years, but it's finally happening! Later today, a Satele Shan figure from the same series is meant to go on pre-order.

As a bonus that almost feels like it was specifically added for me, there's a new Old Republic trooper design as well that wears the classic armour set sported by the guards on the fleet and which my own trooper also wore as part of her original levelling journey. Must have!

With all that and knowing that 8.0 is coming at the end of the year, I feel like I'm eating well right now as a SWTOR fan.

Edit: I almost forgot, the official Star Wars website even had a header image that included Malgus, Lana and Senya on their gaming deals post. How's that for rare recognition?

  1. Happy Star Wars Day, Shintar! I know people who've bought the Shadow Sentry outfit just for the belt (with bow at the back); I did similar with the Sinister Warrior's outfit (wanted the belt more than anything else).
