Simon Pegg to play Dengar in Star Wars: Clone Wars

This Friday, Simon Pegg who is probably best known for his appearance on Geekscape #215, takes the role of Empire Strikes Back bounty hunter Dengar on Cartoon Networks Clone Wars.

The episode, “Bounty”, has Dengar teaming up with Boba Fett, Bossk and Ventress as they protect some precious loot on its way out of a planet.
