For those who may not know, May 4, which sounds similar to “may the force” when pronounced, is officiallyStar WarsDay. Disney and Lucasfilm have made the celebratory day into an opportunity to promote all thingsStar Wars. This traditionally means promotingStar Warsfilms, TV shows, and video games. That of course includesStar Wars: Squadrons, one of Electronic Art’s latest releases set in the universe of the famed science fantasy franchise.

The newStar Wars: Squadronscosmetics include paint jobs for the Rebel faction’s A-Wing Interceptor and the Imperial Tie Interceptor. There is also new content in the form of lightsaber hilts that players can display in their cockpit. According to a tweet from the official EAStar Warsaccount, there is additional content for both factions in the cosmetic drop.
While some fans may be disappointed to find out that the cosmetics will be the last to be released forStar Wars: Squadrons, which released last October, it is important to note that developerEA Motive initially did not plan to release any new content forStar Wars: Squadronspost-launch. That changed after the game received positive feedback from fans and critics, who praised the game’s easy-to-learn but difficult-to-master mechanics.
The developer has released two content updates for the game since launch, as well as multiple small cosmetic drops. The updates have added new maps and paint jobs for the game’s selection of starfighters, as well as new skins for the pilots who sit in their cockpits. In January,EA Motive also released a lightsaber hilt cosmetic inspired by the Old Republic. The unexpected roll-out of content has given players a more customizableStar Warsexperience, which has likely kept players invested in the game.
