Yesterday’s video of Star Wars: Trench Run for iPhone left a lot of unanswered questions, the most notable being, “Is this fake?” Well, I’m happy to say that Star Wars.com has posted an article not only confirming that the game will be launching “soon,” but also detailing some of the gameplay, as well as its system compatibility and cost. The game will retail for $4.99, and is “optimized” for the 3G, with “… special graphical features for the 3GS, iPod Touch 2nd Gen and future devices.”

We know virtually nothing except for a YouTube video—a rather good looking one at that, but it appears that THQ Wireless will be bringing a new version of the classic Star Wars game to the iPhone. As in the original, you’ll dogfight with TIE fighters above the Death Star before racing along the trench, dodging lasers and obstacles before trying to drop a photon torpedo down a 2 meter target, a shot which Appletell Editor-in-Chief Kirk Hiner dismisses as “impossible.”
