    Wow! This is the Humble Bundle of the year so far. Considering Star Wars games never go on sale except on May the 4th (Be With You), and even then, the Star Wars Collection on Steam is over 4x the price. If you're interested in picking up some Star Wars games, it doesn't get any better than this.

    Pay what you want for:
    Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
    Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
    Star Wars: Dark Forces

    Beat the average to get (in addition to everything above):
    Star Wars Battlefront II
    Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
    Star Wars Republic Commando
    Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (added 2/10)
    Star Wars Starfighter (added 2/10)
    Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (added 2/10)

    Pay $12 or more to get (in addition to everything above):
    Star Wars Empire At War: Gold Pack
    Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition
    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

    Note: All games redeem on Steam. Separate key for each game.

    Bundle expires 2/17/15 @ 11AM PST

    Thanks! They're all Steam codes. It would be nice if you could get them from GoG... In any case, $12 for all those classics. :)

    Yeah, definitely the deal of the year for Star Wars fans.

    I'm hoping the LEGO Star Wars games get added to the bundle in the future since those never go on sale. But it'll probably be the 5 remaining games from the Steam Star Wars Collection instead.

    Average price is a bit steep compared to previous bundles.. Might as well pay $12 and get everything... I'm going to wait and see what other games they add and then purchase it.. Will have more money anyways towards the end of the week hopefully..

    Disney rarely discounts its Star Wars games and never by this much, so everyone and their dog is buying the whole bundle. The average is almost at $12, I wonder if it'll actually beat it LOL. Anyway, if you're gonna get it, I'd get it soon as possible as it's only gonna go up from here with all the demand.

    Yeah $12 is nothing for all these titles. I mean seriously, that's $1.33 a game, without counting the soon to be added titles. I gladly paid $15, although should have paid more just on principle.

    I was a tight wad and did the $1 bundle.
    Looking forward to playing Jedi Knight again.

    Jedi Academy is my least favorite of the Jedi Knight series, but it's still a good game. Dark Forces II/Mysteries of the Sith has to be #1, followed by Jedi Outcast.

    While I pretty much have all the Star Wars games I want on Stream, I might just buy the bundle to complete my collection. Thanks for the heads up.

    Whatever gets added to the bundle next week, I hope it's anything but Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and Mysteries of the Sith. The Steam versions are broken will probably never get fixed (it's been over 5 years now). Go get the GOG versions instead. I would rather Humble Bundle add some games which actually work properly on modern systems.

    As promised, the last 3 games have been added to the bundle, which you automatically get if beat the average at your time of purchase.

    Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
    Star Wars Starfighter
    Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II


    FYI the Steam version of Dark Forces II is really broken and unfit for playing on modern systems. It's missing the in-game music, 3D acceleration doesn't work, and cutscenes play in a small window instead of fullscreen. I highly, highly recommend getting the GOG version instead, which has been fixed to work properly out of the box and also includes the Mysteries of the Sith expansion pack.
