'Star Wars: Trench Run' coming to iPhone

THQ Wireless has unveiled a new Star Wars game being developed for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Titled Star Wars: Trench Run, the game is based on the climax of George Lucas's 1977 movie when the Rebel Alliance assaults the Death Star.

Using a tilt-based control system, players will attempt to pierce the space station's defences and land a proton torpedo down a tiny thermal exhaust port to secure victory.

However, achieving the goal will involve battling hordes of oncoming TIE fighters, including one flown by Darth Vader.

Star Wars: Trench Run will be made available soon on the App Store, but there has been no word yet on price.
