The epic space battles between dueling ships is one of the coolest things in the Star Wars universe, and now Disney is preparing to bring those battles to the Web with a free-to-play game.

Disney announced Star Wars: Attack Squadron today. It is a free online title that puts players in the X-wing or TIE Fighter ships from the original Star Wars trilogy. Attack Squadron is in closed beta now, and wannabe starfighter pilots can head to the game’s website for a chance to get in on the action now.
