A greatest hits collection of Star Wars PC games are currently on sale right now on GOG, just a few days ahead of May the 4th. And some are now part of an awesome preservation program that will help keep them playable for years to come.
April is nearly over, which of course means we are getting close to the most important day of the year: Star Wars Day aka May The 4th. And as usual, in the lead-up to the fan-created holiday, digital stores like Good Old Games are offering up big deals on Star Wars video games, including some of the sci-fi franchise’s very best games.
On April 28, GOG announced nearly two dozen classic Star Wars games are now on sale until May 6. These include some genuine classics, like the original Star Wars FPS Dark Forces, and BioWare’s beloved Knights of the Old Republic. Here’s some of the best games currently on sale until next week:

It’s a really cool idea and now some of the best Star Wars games ever made will remain playable for years to come. Here’s the five games added to the program:
