Clone Wars Adventures open beta begins

Sony Online Entertainment's Clone Wars Adventures MMO snuck up on Massively last night, steathily going into open beta and allowing interested parties to Force-jump in, kick the tires (sorry, repulsor-lifts), and light the fires. Clicking the hard-to-miss "beta" tab on the official website will get you started, and from there it's a quick ride through account and character creation to the game proper.
