Star Wars: The Old Republic gives all its subscribers two companions

Do you enjoy having companions who are primarily interested in following the money? Because that’s what Star Wars: The Old Republic is offering subscribers as of April 3rd. Yes, if you paid money for a subscription, you can get yourself two new companions, the famous Mandalorian Shae Vizla and the somewhat-famous guy-who-wants-money-while-wearing-a-trenchcoat Nico Okarr!

So they’re still following the money. Bit of a meta-joke, there.

There’s no further unlocking required; as long as you’re subscribed by April 3rd, you’ll receive both companions. Both companions have been offered before as bonus companions to players who have been subscribed at certain intervals, so it’s possible you might already have these two figures tagging along behind you. But at least you’ll get a spare in case something happens to the original, right? (You will not get a spare. That’s not how companions work.)
