Classic Star Wars video games are coming, but you’ll need to act fast

Just when you thought the Star Wars video game announcements were done, the latest release features throwbacks coming you way.
Fans have a new batch of Star Wars video game releases to anticipate — but you’ll have to act fast to get them.
Limited Run is partnering with LucasArts to release collector’s editions of classic Star Wars video games.
The partnership was announced Monday during Limited Run’s E3 presentation. A teaser video promoting the pairing features podracing, fights, and Darth Vader — and reveals decades worth of video game development.

One thing to keep in mind: like its name, Limited Run games feature limited production — meaning they often sell out quickly. A set of tips for buying Limited Run games is available online, and those who miss out on a game can sign up for a waiting list.
