In honor of the upcoming Star Wars Day, Lucasfilm Games is hosting a special event that lasts for a week, featuring huge price cuts on classic Star Wars games.
Notably, the EA-developed Star Wars titles are not included in this sale, nor are more recent releases such as the Dark Forces remaster or the Star Wars Lego games. However, there’s still a good amount of time left in the event, so we might see some of these titles added later on.
Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars Outlaws has faced its share of controversies, from the pre-release tactics and its price to criticisms after launch about numerous bugs and technical problems. It has now settled at a “Mostly Positive” rating on Steam.
Despite some of the bugs being resolved, the game remains a predictable Ubisoft open-world adventure with an average story and standard action combat. During the sale, it is currently 50% off, now costing $34.99 (€34.99 or £29.99), which is the lowest price recorded for it.
Steam
The classic multiplayer shooters Star Wars Battlefront (Classic, 2004) and Battlefront II (Classic, 2005) are still available for online play and maintain their fun factor. While their community is smaller than that of newer titles, this isn’t surprising, as they are classics for a reason.
Battlefront II has aged more gracefully, featuring better controls and more responsive shooting. On the other hand, the first game has some unique maps to offer. If you choose to purchase them, steer clear of the Battlefront Classic Collection, which is poorly received and adds little to the originals while being largely deserted online.
Both Battlefront I and Battlefront II are currently 75% off, and you can grab them together for just $4.98 (€4.86 or £4.24).
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic I and II
Considered some of Bioware’s finest work, Knights of the Old Republic I stands out as a classic RPG filled with unique characters, creatures, and planets. You’ll have the chance to learn over 40 Force powers and even create your own lightsaber.
The sequel, Knights of the Old Republic II, developed by Obsidian, expands on this foundation. Set five years after the first title, you play as a solitary Jedi, the only hope for the Old Republic as it hangs by a thread.
Knights of the Old Republic I is now 75% off, priced at $2.49 (€2.43 or £2.12), while Knights of the Old Republic II is also 75% off, available for the same price of $2.49 (€2.43 or £2.12).
In addition to these titles, you can snag Star Wars Shadow of the Empire for $1.49 (€1.47 or £1.24) at a 75% discount, or the Star Wars: Rebel Assault I + II bundle for $2.49 (€2.43 or £2.12), also at 75% off. You can also find the classic 1995 version of Star Wars Dark Forces for $1.49 (€1.47 or £1.24) and Star Wars Jedi Knight II – Jedi Outcast for $2.49 (€2.43 or £2.12), among many others.
