Update3:
All games are now available!
The leaks were right, so we get:
Star Wars : X-Wing Special Edition (93 Original Edition and 98 Collector Series CD-edition)
Star Wars : TIE Fighter Special Edition (94 Original Edition and 98 Collector Series CD-edition)
Sam & Max Hit the Road
The Secret of Monkey Island : Special Edition
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Update2:
Looks like gog have noticed all their release threads being posted in, all links below now 404 apart from the thread created by the original user/s who noticed this.
Update:

So we've been speculating for a few days due to various hints, but a gog forum user has found the unlinked release threads primed for tomorrows launch:
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/tomorrows_lucasart_releases_confimed_so_far
Secret of Monkey Island : Special Edition
Knights of the old Republic
Tie Fighter : Special Edition
X-Wing Special Edition
Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis
Sam & Max Hit the Road
So we have Sam & Max, which would have probably required Steve Purcell's agreement as well as that of Disney, and a dual release of TIE Fighter - both the '94 imuse version and the '98 release that lacks imuse but uses the xwing vs tie graphics engine, which is very nice of them. Not sure if the xwing release is also dual as the release statement doesn't mention it.
Hoping that since they've done it for tie fighter we may see dual pc/fmtowns releases for some of the point & click games (compatibility shouldn't be an issue if they use scummvm)
So happy this has finally happened after so many years. Was beginning to look like we'd never see the day.
