Universal Dork

StarWars.com has recently revealed the cover for their Halloween ’09 horror release: Deathtroopers

Although, details on what exactly it’s about remain unknown (and likely will until Comic Con), the cover has me super-excited. Horror has long been a missing ingredient from the Star Wars universe. A universe where “blast-marks” are, for the most part, our only evidence of death at another’s hands.

I’m also loving the cover’s suggestion of this being set around original trilogy era, rather than yet another prequel trilogy yarn. Kudos to the neck-guts and cords coming out the bottom of the helmet!
