Lucasfilm strikes back.

January 27:
It's been a long weekend for Star Wars™ fans among us. Today marks the return of Lucasfilm on GOG.com: WAVE II, with the final batch of three Star Wars™ titles:

A 20% launch discount awaits those who join the fight against the dark side in the next 72-hours with three new releases:
Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
<i>Star Wars&trade;</i> Republic Commando
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Starfighter&trade;

As the Wave II timer ticks down to a zero for the last time, one of the most exciting weeks in the history of GOG.com comes to a close. We couldn't be happier with the series of amazing titles we added to our catalog this week, and we're proud to have teamed up with ©Disney Interactive to finally restore six iconic Star Wars™ games back into the hands of gamers exclusively on GOG.com.

January 22:
The time is now! Lucasfilm strikes back with three more Star Wars™ classics available now on GOG.com! This means the exclusive GOG.com digital premiere of two more spacefaring titles:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Rogue Squadron - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Rebellion - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Empire at War: Gold Pack is now also available for purchase, DRM-free with a 72-hour, 20% launch discount!

The timer is still ticking, so stay tuned for one more reveal from ©Disney Interactive and GOG.com!

January 20:
A long time ago in a galaxy near you, ©Disney Interactive and <B>GOG.com</B> teamed up to bring you the holy grail of classic gaming: six Lucasfilm cult-classics were added to our DRM-free catalog, including three titles which saw their digital premiere on GOG.com. We also made a promise to bring you many more cult-classics in the future and, believe us, we did not forget.

Today, with great pride and joy, we're excited to announce Wave II of Lucasfilm games on GOG.com! Starting right now, six new Star Wars™ classics are available in our DRM-free Lucasfilm/Disney catalog. This includes three amazing titles available, for the first time in digital distribution, exclusively on GOG.com:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing Alliance&trade; - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Galactic Battlegrounds Saga - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

We're also celebrating the DRM-free release of these Star Wars™ games with a 72-hour 20% launch discount:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Battlefront&trade; II
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Dark Forces
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade; II: The Sith Lords&trade;

Just in case you missed your chance last time, you can grab three more Lucasfilm classics for the same 20% discount, until Friday, January 30, at 1:59 PM GMT!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade;
Indiana Jones&reg; and the Fate of Atlantis&trade;
The Secret of Monkey Island&trade;: Special Edition

Our Lucasfilm/Disney is made that much more impressive today thanks to our team-up with ©Disney Interactive. The 6 new Star Wars™ releases, which include 3 digital premieres exclusively on GOG.com, are barely the beginning. We're not saying more right now, but we know the wait will be worth it for six great reasons - keep watching the front page and stay tuned for more exciting Lucasfilm titles releasing on GOG.com when the timer strikes zero!

Ah!
Around 2000 I was playing Jedi Knight (1 or 2) and it hit me that a BIG part of the environment in the game was the music. I then decided to go and buy the soundtracks only to discover that there were not many options and the ones that were available were quite expensive.
Not even a month later, I found great versions available on Walmart. Double CDs, super cheap. They were imported from Germany, by the way.

So I'm thinking about getting one of the strategy related titles from this wave. Any recommendations? (Or which one is the best?)

I've only played Rebellion, and despite my honest-to-god joy and instant purchase, it gets a solid 3 out of 5 from me. If you love SW (and I'm guessing you do) and you're not picky on your 4x being top-tier, it's a blast. If you've never played a 4x, then you won't even know what to be disappointed about! It's one of the few games that was always a weekend-devourer back when I would occasionally reinstall. Helped that the game came out right around when I was first really getting into SW in the first place.

For $6 it's a flawed gem. I doubt you'd be unhappy with the purchase, but I'm not gonna fanboy out on it and say you'd be making a mistake by buying a different one.

tomimt: I'm tad disappointed that it was yet more SW games. I was hoping for adventure release. Oh well, maybe next week then.

It's great to see Star Wars games, it's huge for GOG and for all gamers.

Although I'd love to see Maniac Mansion, Zak McKraken, Loom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Full Throttle, The Dig, more Monkey Island games, and Day of the Tentacle (I think we'll get remake of DOTT).

Never played Rebellion, but if you like the Command & Conquer games then Empire at War is a must (Petroglyph, EaW devs, was funded by ex-Westwood devs, who worked in the C&C series)

Can't wait for Tuesday. So far, I've bought every Star Wars title on GOG except Dark Forces. I hope the part 3 of Wave II contains the Jedi Knight games, Republic Commando, the original Battlefront, and/or The Force Unleashed. Those are the ones I can think of off of the top of my head.

Almost. See my (current) title for what I'm humming.

You forgot Shadows of the Empire. :)

With Rogue Squadron here now, I might actually break my rule about holding off until we've seen the full hand. Thanks, GOG.
