Devil Inside writer joins Visceral’s Star Wars team

American actor and writer Todd Stashwick has joined Amy Hennig at Visceral Games as the co-writer on EA’s new Star Wars game.

The news was revealed by Uncharted writer Hennig on Twitter, who was brought in by EA last month as creative director on the unannounced project.

Hennig said she was thrilled to have Stashwick on board as he knew Star Wars “inside-out and sideways”.

Stashwick is best known for co-creating web comic Devil Inside and his acting roles in a number of US TV shows including Heroes and The Riches.

Thrilled to announce that my friend @ToddStashwick will be joining me as co-writer on the Star Wars project for @VisceralGames @EA !

.@ToddStashwick is a huge gamer, knows Star Wars inside-out and sideways, and is a brilliant writer to boot. How lucky am I?

As devout gaming/star wars geeks @amy_hennig and I plan on writing a game we want to play. We will be our harshest critics.
