Battlefront II may have been the one and only new Star Wars game EA was discussing at E3. However, news appears to have spilled out on what Uncharted author Amy Hennig is chipping away at with Dead Space engineer Visceral Games.



As it is, it’s been known for quite a while that Visceral are making a Star Wars game. In addition to this, EA has released a couple of bits of concept art and footage of few seconds. All these seem to strengthen prior gossipy titbits that it’s focussed around space pirates and other Han Solo-like characters.

Be that as it may, the site Making Star Wars, which has a decent reputation for breaking news about the films, cases to have got hold of a plot abstract for what is referred to as ‘Project Ragtag’.

Cautioning: Everything beneath is a spoiler, clearly, so carry on at your own risk…

Clearly, the story happens just before the occasions of The Empire Strikes Back, with Todd Stashwick essaying a character nicknamed ‘Dodger’. That’s because he had dodged the draft into Imperial service, when living on his home universe of Alderaan.

This rang a bell for us since Stashwick was affirmed as a co-writer for the game years back. Furthermore, since he is also an actor, it is conceivable he’s playing both the parts.

We are aware about what happened to Alderaan. Therefore, as the game begins, Dodger is obviously put on a ‘survivors list’ and is being chased by the Empire. The Empire’s look for both survivors and the “terrorists” that exploded the Death Star prompts a shake-up of the underworld in the galaxy and persuades a few crooks to begin supporting the Rebel Alliance.


Dodger is equipped with a blaster and what is depicted as a ‘light whip/grapple stick’. His signature style clearly is to wrap individuals up in the whip and afterward shoot them. It’s additionally alluded to as an ‘magic lasso’ which begins to sound a little like Wonder Woman.

The site hints at having more data to come. It also appears to be inferring that Dodger will by one means or another end up aware of the second Death Star’s development and feel constrained to offer assistance.
