EA didn't publish like a lot of Star Wars games during their strange period of liscence exclusivity, but the ones that did come out were actually pretty fantastic. All of these are absolutely worth $6; and Squadrons at $2 is a steal, especially if you have the means to play with a VR headset.1
Almost every Star Wars game is on deep discount, too-- Jedi Survivor is half off, the fabulous Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is down to $10, you can jump onto AMCA's KOTOR replay for under $4, etc.
But these were the first three out of the gate for the new Disney continuity; and especially spending just under $10 for Squadrons and Battlefront 22 will treat you to some connective tissue between the original trilogy and the sequels3 that you might have missed.
I'm not a huge gamer, but playing through these games was a real treat for me last year; so grab 'em while you can!

The best storytelling in the game is the way Imperial cockpits restrict the pilot's vision, while New Republic cockpits give you full view of the battlefield. Everything you need to know about each faction's value of life and theory of warfare in a single affect to the interface. Great stuff.

I really like the BF2 story mode! The gameplay is... like, you know, fine, but the story of Iden Verso, Del Meeko, and their slow conversion to the rebellion through love and chance in the dying hours of the Empire has really stuck with me. Also Del has a top 10 great Star Wars jacket.

Especially some nice Rebels and Mandalorian connections!
