In celebration of Star Wars Day on May 4th, Bioware is unleashing a special log in event. Players entering the game from May 4th through May 8th will be rewarded with an M4-Y6 Astromech mini-pet. In addition, from May 4th to May 14th, a special Double XP event will be in Force (see what I did there?).
The patch notes for the update bringing the event into SWTOR have been posted and include class updates, general updates, bug fixes and feature enhancements.
You can read them all on the Star Wars: The Old Republic site.
