LucasArts has announced a free ten day trial for its MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies, including the recently released expansion Jump to Lightspeed. Those who want to get a first-hand look at the PC-based title can enter the free trial on FilePlanet.com starting December 17th.

Furthermore, as a result of huge sales of quality space ships in the game, the development team has significantly improved the starter ships in all three novice piloting professions. Thereby these rookie spacecrafts can now be updated with better components and feature a more powerful engine in their standard configuration. To aid players in purchasing more enhanced parts for their vehicles, new and active users of the Jump to Lightspeed expansion will receive 75,000 bonus credits for free.
