Join an epic adventure with the Angry Birds in the legendary Star Wars™ universe!

Gameplay and Features
Angry Birds Star Wars combines the beloved mechanics of the original Angry Birds games with the rich lore and characters of the Star Wars universe. Players can expect to see their favorite birds dressed as iconic Star Wars characters, each with unique abilities that reflect their roles in the movies. For example, Red Bird takes on the role of Luke Skywalker, complete with a lightsaber that can be used to slice through obstacles and enemies. Meanwhile, Yellow Bird becomes Han Solo, equipped with a blaster to shoot down Pigtroopers from a distance.
The game spans various iconic locations from the Star Wars saga, including the deserts of Tatooine, the icy plains of Hoth, and the menacing corridors of the Pig Star. Each level is meticulously designed to incorporate elements from the films, providing a nostalgic experience for Star Wars fans while maintaining the challenging puzzles that Angry Birds players love.
Strategic Gameplay and Power-Ups
One of the standout features of Angry Birds Star Wars is the strategic depth added by the new character abilities. Players must think carefully about how to use each bird’s powers to overcome the increasingly complex levels. For instance, using Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Force push can move large obstacles out of the way or deflect enemy attacks, while Princess Leia’s tractor beam can pull objects towards her, creating new opportunities for destruction.
In addition to the character abilities, the game introduces a variety of power-ups that can be collected or purchased. These power-ups, such as the Millennium Falcon, provide significant advantages in tough levels. The Millennium Falcon, for example, can be called in to perform a devastating airstrike, clearing large sections of the level and making it easier to achieve a high score.
The game also includes a progression system where players can earn stars based on their performance in each level. These stars can be used to unlock additional content, such as bonus levels and special challenges. This system encourages replayability, as players strive to perfect their strategies and achieve the highest possible scores.
Angry Birds Star Wars has received praise for its creative integration of the Star Wars theme with the classic Angry Birds gameplay. The combination of familiar characters, iconic locations, and new gameplay mechanics has made it a hit among both Angry Birds enthusiasts and Star Wars fans alike.
