I wish I still had my old copy.
There some threads and projects for the Behind The Magic CD-ROMs in this post here (from the Star Wars Preservations Index):
Edit: I posted this before I saw Gary1’s helpful post. Sorry.

I still have mine , but no way to watch it or use it . I know there are emulators, iso files and such , but find it a hassle to deal with . Someone did a youtube video in 2 parts recently though , going through all the trivia sections on the discs and delving a bit into the behind the scenes stuff relating to that trivia . I just wish he had delved more into those sections . Here is part one …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL1yOiCbGP4
also , the video that Gary1 linked to is for Making Magic ,which was a cd rom for the special editions ,which was a separate thing from Behind The Magic

I loved those CD-ROMs so much.

Me too ! The interface and the Storm trooper Weapons test alone were worth the price alone and the whole 2 discs were a rabbit hole I went down for hours on end . I was just looking at that old original thread that Gary1 linked to . Did anyone ever complete a preservation project of this ?

Even the cover art and box for this was so cool.

Oh yes, absolutely. Back then it seemed every Star Wars release was so cool, fun and had so many fascinating extras and content on them.
I don’t know what changed?: us all getting older, or Lucasfilm getting lazier or more profit driven? Maybe some cynicism (or experience) on our part a little too?
The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

On ‘what changed?’ I think a little bit of everything you mention there, with more Lucasfilm getting lazier than they used to be.
Great pictures. Some awesome art used back then.

Lucas viewed merchandise as the main way to make money from Star Wars while Disney views the movies themselves as the main way to make money from Star Wars and thinks Mickey Mouse is the only thing worth making merchandise of.

I do wonder if kids play with Star Wars toys anymore.
When ever I was at Toys R Us (RIP) or Target and wander over to the Star Wars stuff I only see adult men shopping the stuff. I don’t think that I’ve seen a kid looking at Star Wars toys in literally years.
LEGO is a different ballgame.

Awesome! The interface looks great. How far along have you gotten on this and do you have an estimated time to completion ? I hope you will share it with the community here when it is finished.

I don’t understand: can’t you play them in an emulator? There’s even web-based emulators nowadays!

You can play it on an emulator but you need to install the emulator, what we did is an independent file to run for itself. My friend made the codes of the program. no need for emulator. Can be play it in Windows and iOS, it´s incredible the programing that Lucasart did for those days!
