Star Wars Day is Monday and that means a weekend filled with Star Wars deals across Steam, the Humble Store, Origin, and GOG.com.

Ooh, is it time for Star Wars Day? Okay, normally this opening is taken up by some generic intro about Star Wars Day and the deals that can be found across a number of retailers. But I'd like to aim this specifically at Star Wars fans, especially those who might be keeping up with the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I haven't watched the last few episodes because of my plans to binge through them before Monday, but I will say that Star Wars television is a marvelous place. The Mandalorian? Incredible! And have you all watched Star Wars Rebels? It's a beautiful show. Go watch it on Disney+ if you haven't already. It gets you excited for the franchise in many of the ways that Rise of Skywalker doesn't!

*checks comments*

Aw crap, I rambled too far, didn't I? Maybe I should just post a link to that one EPIC moment from the final season of Rebels and just move on.

Okay, fine, let's go back to the generic intro. Hey, all! Star Wars Day is on Monday and that means there are Star Wars games all across the PC gaming galaxy. Steam, the Humble Store, Origin, and GOG.com all have huge deals on the entire Star Wars franchise, past and present. Be sure to pick up as many Star Wars games as you can if you haven't already.

On top of all of that, it's Golden Week! So be sure to check out the very best from Japan. Golden Week sales are happening across Steam and the Humble Store, so grab the top games from Capcom, Sega, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, and more!

And speaking of the Humble Store, Humble Bundle has its new Humble Monthly offerings and they're pretty awesome. Jurassic World Evolution and XCOM 2 are among the games being offered this month, so consider subscribing to pick those up.

And lastly, if you missed out on any of the freebies from Ubisoft, you have a second crack at them! Assassin's Creed II, Child of Light, and Rayman Legends are all free! But you have to claim them before Tuesday! Grab them before time runs out!

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
