Know What a Hutt wants to drink in the Upcoming Star Wars Cantina iPhone Game

Star Wars geeks and iPhone users have something to look forward to. THQ is putting their wireless Star Wars rights to good use by developing the next Star Wars app on the iPhone. After the announcement of the Lightsaber Duel app (you know, the one that lets you swing you iPhones at each other with realistic lightsaber sounds), this seems to be a good year for Star Wars nuts and app lovers alike.

The newest Star Wars iPhone app is dubbed as the “Star Wars Cantina” and players are tasked to keep the patrons happy on a cantina in Tatooine. This involves serving drinks to both popular and unpopular Star Wars characters. And yes, that includes your favourite race, the Hutt.

The official game description is as follows:

“Your task is to see that the right beverage finds its way to the right customer. And don’t keep them waiting. Some of the customers are real troublemakers! Working towards your daily quota, accuracy and speed are essential. As a reward for a job well done, [you can] outfit your cantina with decorations and attractions to appeal to even the most difficult customers.”

For the game play, think Diner Dash with a Star Wars vibe. You control the bartender Wuher and basically you have to keep your customer’s drinks filled and cater to everyone in the bar.

All in all it looks to be a promising app. The funky art style and bright colors make everyone seem to pop like a Facebook Playfish game.

Seriously though, the game screens are looking quite impressive at the moment. Aside from being a Star Wars fan, if you are the type to like managing virtual establishments, like say Restaurant City, give this app a try. Who knows, you may even see an in-game fight between Greedo and Han Solo.
