May the 4th may be over, but Star Wars: The Old Republic is still handing out the good stuff like a vendor who forgot to close shop.
Broadsword has launched its SWTOR May 4th celebration, running from May 1 through May 22, with free rewards, Cartel Market discounts, Double XP, and a subscriber mount inspired by Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. In other words: log in now, ask questions later, and try not to spend your entire Cartel Coin reserve in one heroic mistake.
Free BX-RC Probe Droid Minipet for All Players
The easiest reward is also the one nobody should miss. According to the official SWTOR May 4th celebration post, all players who log in during the event window can receive the BX-RC Probe Droid Minipet.
It is small, floaty, mechanical, and exactly the kind of companion you claim you do not need until it starts hovering behind your character and suddenly becomes part of the outfit.
Subscribers Get the Vectron Phantom RC2 Mount
The big subscriber reward is the Vectron Phantom RC2 mount, which Broadsword says is inspired by the Razor Crest from Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. Players with an active subscription between May 1 and May 22 will receive the mount.
That makes this one of the more interesting SWTOR Star Wars Day rewards in recent memory. It is not just another generic speeder with a slightly shinier paint job. It is clearly tied to the next major live-action Star Wars movie moment, giving SWTOR a neat little connection to the wider franchise calendar.
Double XP and Cartel Market Discounts
The event also brings back the classic dangerous combination: Double XP and sales.
Players can take advantage of a 50% Collections Unlock Sale, while all Inspired By items on the Cartel Market are discounted by 25–75% during the celebration. That is great news for anyone catching up on alts, cosmetics, unlocks, or the eternal SWTOR endgame of making one more outfit you swear is “the final one.”
Double XP also makes this a useful window for players returning ahead of more story content, or anyone working through class stories, Legacy progress, or seasonal objectives. If you are already grinding, you may also want to check our latest SWTOR Galactic Seasons objectives breakdown so the login rewards and weekly checklist pain can at least overlap efficiently.
May the 4th Loot Without the Stress
This is a simple event, but a useful one: log in for the free droid, subscribe during the window if you want the mount, and use the sales if your Collections tab has been quietly judging you.
The only real warning is obvious: Cartel Market discounts are how SWTOR turns “I’ll just browse” into “why do I own seven cloaks and a chair?”
May the 4th is gone. The rewards are not.
