"Simon Pegg has joined the voice cast of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The Hot Fuzz actor will voice the bounty hunter Dengar - who first featured in The Empire Strikes Back. Dengar was one of the bounty hunters recruited by Darth Vader in the 1980 film to find the Millennium Falcon. &amp;quot;Dengar is one of the elite,&amp;quot; Pegg told Entertainment Weekly. &amp;quot;If you&amp;#039;re on Darth Vader&amp;#039;s bounty-hunter speed dial, you are the best in the galaxy. &amp;quot;It was a total honor to play this mysterious, hard man from my favorite Star Wars movie, The Empire Strikes Back.&amp;quot; Dengar went on to become a cult figure in the Star Wars universe, and his backstory has been further explored in various Star Wars canon. Pegg&amp;#039;s role of Dengar will air on Friday, March 2 on the Cartoon Network. Simon Pegg will return as Scotty for Star Trek 2, which began filming last month.
