A bunch of things I thought I should cover leading up to the end of the month, but I didn't want to call this a report (two reports in one month? That's not a precedent I want to set; Muz would start expecting it...)

Sports teams embrace May the 4th (possibly prematurely?)

On Saturday night, the Tampa Bay Storm will be celebrating Star Wars when they take on the Portland Thunder. Tickets to the game come with Limited Edition Star Wars hats and entry into a draw to win 4 tickets to Disney's Star Wars Weekend. The 501st Legion will be there too, so make sure you get photos with/of them if you're there.

The following day, on Sunday, the Charlotte Stone Crabs will be hosting Star Wars Day Festivities at the Charlotte Sports Park. This will include photo ops with "you favourite Star Wars characters", themes promotions, video board games(?) and music.

The Old Republic is down with May the 4th

Of course it wouldn't be a celebration of Star Wars around the 4th of May without some attention from The Old Republic.

Starting May 2nd through to May 5th, players will get double XP. Active accounts will receive a free mini-pet (is that R2-D2's head?!) starting April 29, and you last chance to get him is by having an active account by May 4th. This minipet (a droid names MT-4T) will be delivered by in game mail and he is usable in PVP zones and operations!

Don't forget the DB!

Also, now is your last chance to reply to this news post and potentially see yourself as part of a special project. I'll be choosing the quotes I'll be using in about 12 hours, so get in quick!
