About the Star Wars: Cantina Game
In Star Wars: Cantina players become galactic adventurer Nia Adea, now a proprietor of a cantina on the hot desert planet of Tatooine. Inundated by demanding customers – including the trigger-happy Rodians, burly Gamorreans, Imperial stormtroopers and more – players must frantically serve the thirsty customers. Accuracy and speed are key as players work toward meeting their daily quota of classic Star Wars characters served through Career and Endless Shift modes. As gamers achieve their goals, they are rewarded with décor and attractions for their cantina that will bring them more lucrative business patrons.
Star Wars™: Cantina can be purchased for $4.99 directly at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/star-wars-cantina/id363672887?mt=8.

In Star Wars: Yoda Sound Board, players can finally receive the life changing advice from the galaxy’s wisest Jedi Master – right at their fingertips.
