With action-based Star Wars titles Trench Run and The Force Unleashed already on the App Store, it seems THQ Wireless has decided it was time to take the popular franchise in a new direction. In their upcoming Star Wars: Cantina, you play as barmaid Nia Adea, serving familiar customers their space-approved beverage of choice.
Much like other time-management games, Star Wars: Cantina has a steady stream of customers romping into your pub to get their fair share of booze. The bartender will take on mixing the drinks, so your task is to deliver them to the right customers. Many of these, such as Jabba the Hutt and rowdy groups of stormtroopers, will be familiar to franchise fans.
A campaign with a story told through comic-book style pictures and an endless mode will be available to suit different types of play sessions. Doing a good job will allow you to use items to decorate your cantina and raise the spirits of the residents.
Star Wars: Cantina may not bring much new to the table, but our hope is that it capitalizes on the franchise in a compelling way. The game is said to be launching very soon, and we will take a deeper look when it does.

I like the artwork, but a Star Wars Time Management game? Seriously? And you play a character that's never been in Star Wars? Sheesh. I'm becoming less and less of a Star Wars fan as more games and products come out.
I personally dont like the cheap cut out flash look. Whats worse is that this is copying another game and throwing a franchise to try and hide all the ugly parts (gameplay). Wow... totally under-excited about this
Looks good but I hate games like this. Not gonna buy it - even @ $0.99
I personally think it's a good idea, getting away from the tried and tired lightsaber or * wing games.
They're branching out to someone other than action game players, and it's not something that's never been in star wars, the cantina is one of the most famous scenes!!
I can hear the music now!
These games aren't bad, and suits the iPhones casual Market perfectly, with a style to match. I think it'll be fun as long as it nails addictive rewarding gameplay over anything else.
