Wish they'd include the Episode III game in one of these Star Wars sales for once.
It’s not backwards compatible, same with Obi-Wan and Starfighter (not Jedi). I don’t think Clone Wars is BC either on the X1/XSX (it might be on the 360 only).

Yes it is, it’s playable on Xbox 360 and One/Series.

It’s also up on the marketplace. I think it’s the only original Xbox Star Wars game that’s available digitally but has never had a sale.

The Clone Wars, Jedi Kight II: Jedi Outcast, and the Starfighter games are all backwards compatible and are in the xbox store, but they always seem to get left out of Star Wars sales

Thanks for proving me wrong. Just looked up Star Wars games on the store and sure enough, Episode III, The Clone Wars, Starfighter and Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast are indeed backward compatible.

Obi-Wan isn't, though.

Here I am in the comments again just cruising for recommendations because I don't want to research every game 😂

Well I know it’s the cool thing to hate on the sales Microsoft have released recently (I have been guilty of this in the past) but I have to give credit where credit is due, the sales this week have been quite good with a bunch of enticing offers. My wallet isn’t going to be happy.

Was hoping for more off on Stranger of Paradise, but I've been really wanting to play it so I'll probably take it. It looks like it's cheaper to buy the game and the DLC separately instead of buying the deluxe edition if anyone else is looking at it. $32 + $12 or $48.

Any idea why the Skywalker Saga Galactic Edition is showing 2 different prices? I'm seeing 63.99 and 31.99 on here but when I click on it, it only shows 63.99. How do I get the link for 31.99?

Really wish they discounted the original Xbox SW games
They're in the Xbox 360 section.
There's a large selection of Star Wars games that never get put on sale. Jedi Knight 2. Naboo Starfighter. Attack of the Clones. Revenge of the Sith. And probably a couple more I'm forgetting. They're all backwards compatible, and available for purchase, but are ignored EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Not sure what's going on with Lego Star Wars TFA that it hasn't been on sale for 16 months now. I give up, I'm getting a physical copy.
You should check other regions, btw. For some reason, Lego games often go on sale in the US when they aren't on sale in Europe. When they are on sale in both markets, the US version is always considerably cheaper.

It's odd for British games based on a Danish toy, but meh.

For example, the price for Force Awakens in UK is currently £39.99. In the US, it is just $19.99.

So, get it from the US store instead? Switch your console to US and boom.
Holy hell, thanks for that hint. 19$ is probably cheaper than a physical copy, too. Doesn't look like it's recently been on sale there either though. Is there a way to change the time period on the price history diagram under the price tab, by default it's set to last 6 months?
I use xbdeals . net. They actually show price graphs, so you can easily see how often and for how much things go on sale. I never buy anything on sale without first checking it. They also have an equivalent website for PS and Nintendo.

I almost bought Lego Skywalker at a similar price in the previous big sales. I waited an extra day to think about it, and it got announced for Game Pass the very next day!

No sale on the Force Unleashed DLC? Boo.

Anyone else sees Sunset Overdrive Deluxe Edition for 5,99€? In the store is 23,99€, not 5,99€.

It looks like Skywalker Saga Galactic Edition is on sale for 60% off on the TA page, but I can't find that price matched anywhere for xbox? Any idea why that might be the case? I can find it that cheap on steam , maybe it will drop on Tuesday?

Am I right in understanding that all the deluxe edition includes is a soundtrack and art book?

No, it also includes the upcoming DLC and you bet it's gonna have achievements in true Square Enix fashion.

If you go on the MS Store (not the Xbox app, the actual MS Store) and look up the Deluxe edition (not the upgrade, the entire game edition), it says it includes the DLC "In Tanta We Trust" (it releases this month).
