Cloud Imperium Games continues to build towards Star Citizen's single-player campaign with a new teaser and behind-the-scenes video featuring Star Wars/Batman legend Mark Hamill.

Anyone that watched the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens were perplexed/disappointed with the lack of Mark Hamill. Star Citizen isn't about to disappoint those people. Following up on their casting reveals from a couple of weeks ago, the folks at Cloud Imperium Games have released a new trailer spotlighting Hamill's character in the upcoming Squadron 42, the single-player campaign for Star Citizen.

Hamill will play Lt. Cdr. Steve 'Old Man' Colton. His nickname fits, as he appears to be the grizzled leader of Squadron 42. But Hamill's age doesn't stop him from being plenty active in the campaign, if the behind-the-scenes video is any indication. Check out both the trailer and the behind-the-scenes video with Hamill below.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

        If all that comes out of this is a totally kick ass modern day gorgeous Wing Commander.... we will at least have that. It'd be a great start.

      That's epic. And it looks just like him.

      And now for my shamelessly shameless plug. If you're interested, sign up here and get 5k extra when you start, and I get some decorations for my hangar.

      I've been a fan of WC and Privateer since forever, burned an entire summer or 2 playing the shit out of privateer.
      If all we get out of this is a shinier, multiplayer, privateer or wing commander.... it's totally worth it.
