Rebels and Imperials alike. Sony Online Entertainment is also offering eligible

between February 1 and March 1. With the balance of power in the galaxy at
stake, anyone who can tote a blaster or lend support is needed on the front
lines! Eligible player accounts will be automatically reactivated – players can
simply log in to rejoin the action! For those who choose to re-subscribe before
the free period ends, a special in-game painting will be given as a reward.
