Bioware wants to give everyone a chance to check out Star Wars: The Old Republic, so this weekend it is offering players an opportunity to play the game for free.

Starting Thursday, March 15 at 12:01 AM CDT and ending on Monday, March 19th at 2:00 AM CDT, interested participants can download and play the game free of charge, without any kind of payment information needed.

Bioware is directed those who want more information towww.starwarstheoldrepublic.com/weekendpass, but currently that page leads to a error page with a Wookie and a droid on it. I assume they are there trying to get the page fixed up.

If you decide you would like to partake, be sure to look at our guide on how to get started in The Old Republic.
