Disney is now accepting player applications for a closed beta version of Star Wars: Attack Squadrons, a free-to-play online game that recreates iconic space combat scenes from the original Star Wars film trilogy.

Attack Squadrons features a variety of PVP modes in which players battle factions of customizable X-wings, TIE fighters, and other familiar spacecraft in browser-based skirmishes. The game allows up to 16 players to fight it out in a free-for-all Deathmatch mode, while Team Dogfight and Base Defense modes encourage cooperation among your fellow pilots.

If you experience issues signing up for the beta, Disney is working on a fix, and signups should be available again shortly. A release date for Star Wars: Attack Squadrons has not been announced.
