Is the color of your lightsaber clashing with your Jedi robes or is your blaster too flashy for your armor? Fret not because Star Wars The Old Republic has added a new feature that lets players change the appearance of their weapon to a different one of the same type while keeping its original stats.

“Weapons in Outfitter allows players to equip one weapon in the Gear window, which determines the stats applied to their character, and stamp the appearance of another weapon of the same type via the Outfitter window.”

“For example, it is now possible for a player to benefit from the stats of the Stronghold Defender’s Lightsaber but enjoy the Reforged Derelict Lightsaber’s appearance,” explained the devs. “The weapon in the Outfitter slot (or weapons, for dual-wielding combat styles) also determines the sound and visual effects of your weapon with its unique audio, Color Crystal, and Weapon Tuning.”

Players can also look forward to a double XP and Valor event starting on May 3rd and running until May 10th. We can probably also expect a gift of some sort from the devs on May 4th, a.k.a. Star Wars Day.
