May 4th is always a huge celebration in the Star Wars world, especially within the huge range of games that already exists. To Celebrate May 4th which is national Star Wars day, SWTOR turned on a Double Rewards Event last week. Players in-game will earn double experience points, command XP and Starfighter Requisitions as well.
