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!

Niggles: This game is probably the most underrated of the SW games.. plenty want it :). Instabuy for me :)

Maybe it's just that at present Disney only employs persons under 30 years? They have never heard of zak mckrakken or or such.

Been too lazy to look but has any of the star wars games come with soundtracks?

penumbren: I was optimistic that "Wave II" would have things of immediate interest to me until now.
While I admit that the second wave doesn't present much incentive for me too, I'm pretty sure it presents immediate interest to lots and lots of others.
It's normal and I totally understand them. Also, I'm very happy for them getting something they really like ;)

As far as I know, no, at least for now.

While I personally find the first two waves too focused on Star Wars, I am very happy to see Rogue Squadron among the releases. Had a lot of fun with this game back in the day, and I'm hoping we'll get the rest of the series as well as Shadows of the Empire and Starfighter. On the Star Wars front, some LEGO Star Wars and podracing games would also totally hit the spot.

But so far I'm mostly missing the original LucasArts games (i.e the ones that are not based off movie licenses), like Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, The Dig, Loom, Outlaws, Lucidity, the rest of the Monkey Island series, and a whole bunch of others. And while I realize it's unlikely, there's also a bunch of original LucasArts games for various consoles that would be awesome to see bundled for emulation on PC, like Herc's Adventures, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and Metal Warriors.

But the Star Wars focus aside (which is understandable), I am looking forward to seeing more LucasArts titles on GOG.com, and possibly some classic Disney Interactive fare as well. Great job getting this deal done, there should be lots of good stuff there to repackage for modern systems.

Man if Jedi Knight runs well in full screen with the music playing it will be my favorite release of the last year or so, new release games included.
Posted January 23, 2015
I would like to see Yoda Stories and Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures.

Would be awesome.

Hope Jedi Knight/Mysteries of Sith will be released with a working in-game soundtrack, because the physical disks used CD-audio tracks and Steam version doesn't have music

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for, as well. However, since the '98 versions of X-Wing and Tie-Fighter and the XvsT release have their CD-audio music, I'm optimistic. :)

Not a single one.

And no avatars, mainly just a manual.

Good to know, if they already managed to make it working with other games, I guess they can do with Jedi Knight too

DukeNukemForever: Interesting...

Looking on Kotor 1 & 2, I guess gog can't port them, as the rights for mac and linux versions belongs to Aspyr. I hope the negotiations with them are going fine and we will hopefully see some linux & mac versions in the future.

DarthKaal: While I believe there's hope to see a Mac version of KOTOR 1 here (it is on Steam), I have high doubts about KOTOR 2, which has never been released on Mac.
Like most other Star Wars games on steam the KOTOR 1 port is from Aspyr. I'm pretty sure if GOG will get them onboard we will see many new mac (and maybe also linux) versions here. I don't know why there is no KOTOR 2 port so far, maybe it's a legal problem as the developer was Obsidian and not Bioware. But that's just a guess.

XvsTie doesn't even have that, which is decidedly odd. >_>

Now waiting for the original Battlefront, Republic Commando and Jedi Knight games.
