by Shane O'Hare

The more that comes out about Star Wars: 1313 the more I get excited. The concept is pretty cool. You’re a bounty hunter and you are going to the lower depths of Coruscant in search of someone.

Lucasarts Creates New Mature Star Wars Game: Star Wars 1313

by Shane O'Hare

The Pre-E3 hype machine is running on all cylinders as Lucasarts sent out this teaser image of their new, mature themed Star Wars game: Star Wars 1313

The game takes place on level 1313. A criminal haven deep underground on Coruscant. You take control of a new bounty hunter as you hunt down your contracts and are trying to  figure out a huge criminal conspiracy.

The emphasis in this Star Wars game is on gadgets, weapons and tactics and not force powers. Think Dark Forces or Shadow of The Empire.

“We’re excited to share one of the projects LucasArts has been hard at work developing,” said Paul Meegan, President, LucasArts.  “Star Wars 1313 dives into a part of the Star Wars mythos that we’ve always known existed, but never had a chance to visit. We are committed to bringing the best gameplay experience and visual fidelity to life and I truly believe the work we are showcasing at E3 will speak for itself.”

Be sure to check out the  Starwars 1313 official site for more details, and keep and eye out for it at E3.

Simon Pegg to play Dengar in Star Wars: Clone Wars

by Shane O'Hare

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.

From the press release over at Entertainment Weekly we learn that during the Clone Wars   Dengar received cybernetic enhancements and his odd choice of clothing is to hide them from others.

The Clone Wars continues to impress me. Growing from the crappy kid movie to the proper Star Wars fan series it is now, and the clip is giving me flashbacks to the Train Level in Shadows of The Empire.

If you are interested in more on the character Dengar, check out the first of the Bounty Hunter Wars novels. It’s a great read and the first few chapters tell us of Boba Fetts fate after being eaten by the Sarlacc
