You probably didn’t know that May the 4th was the official Star Wars Day. Hardcore fans love it and use it as an excuse to talk about and geek out with their beloved movies.
I first heard about it last year and while I have a lot of respect for Star Wars (I did enjoy the movies), the only thing that really caught my attention is something that will catch yours too: Great Star Wars games for Sale!
Indeed, May the 4th may be over, but it’s still time to grab great Mac games for cheap.
The biggest deal you could get today is StackSocial’s Star Wars Game Bundle. It includes 4 Star Wars Mac games from Aspyr for $12.50 (or 75% off!). Games included:

The bundle is good for 4 more days, get it here.
GOG.com also got into the May the 4th wagon, except they did much more than just put a few Star Wars games on sale. To honor the day, they actually brought three new Star Wars games to the Mac. They’re all blasts from the past, as old-school as it gets:
