Simon Pegg To Voice Bounty Hunter Dengar in STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS

Simon Pegg just landed an incredibly cool role as the bounty hunter Dengar in Star Wars: The Clone Wars! Pegg will be providing the voice of the character. I don't know if you remember who Dengar is or not, but he makes a brief appearance in The Empire Strikes Back. He's the mummy-wrapped bounty hunter who meets with Darth Vader along with Bobba Fett and the rest of the bounty hunters to track down the Millennium Falcon. As many of you already know, Pegg is a huge Star Wars fan, so this should be a great experience. Here's what he had to say about the character in a statement:

Dengar is one of the elite. If you're on Darth Vader's bounty hunter speed dial you are the best in the galaxy. It was a total honor to play this mysterious, hard man from my favorite Star Wars movie.

In the episode titled Bounty, Asajj Ventress ends up teaming with a group of bounty hunters, including Dengar, Bossk, and Boba Fett. Head over to EW.com to see a clip from the episode, as Dengar and Ventress find themselves under attack by galactic ninjas.
