My kids absolutely adore the Angry Birds games (I do too to be honest), and as long as Rovio keeps cranking them out, they’ll likely keep wanting to play them. Bad Piggies has been taking up a large chunk of time recently, but with Rovio’s latest announcement, they are in Angry Birds anticipation mode all over again.
Rovio is teaming up with Lucasfilm to release Angry Birds Star Wars game, that just judging by the art and teaser trailer, looks pretty damn awesome. The Angry Birds as the Rebellion and the Pigs as the Empire just makes too much sense. And how great is the PigStar and Pig Vader, and the different birds as the main Star Wars cast?
The game is set to be released on iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Mac, PC, Windows Phone and Windows 8. Of course, there will be merchandise galore rolling out very soon in advance of the actual game on November 8th.
Take a look at the teaser trailer for now and expect more info and media soon.

Rovio Entertainment and Lucasfilm Ltd. announced today a new blockbuster entertainment franchise collaboration; Angry Birds Star Wars. Launching worldwide on November 8, the unique partnership will combine all the fun of the classic Angry Birds and Angry Birds Space with the characters, stories and settings of the epic space fantasy, Star Wars.
From the deserts of Tatooine to the depths of the Death Star ? the game and merchandise will feature the Angry Birds characters starring as the iconic heroes of the beloved Saga.
?This is the best Angry Birds game we?ve ever done. It?s the best parts of Angry Birds with all new cutting-edge gameplay set in in a galaxy far, far away,? said Peter Vesterbacka, the Mighty Eagle and CMO of Rovio. ?As a big Star Wars fan myself, I?m really excited about this new universe. The Force is definitely strong with this one.?
In addition to the game, this fall will also see the unveiling of a massive retail launch for Angry Birds Star Wars. Merchandise ranging from Halloween costumes and apparel to action figures and collectible plush toys will be available at select retailers, starting October 28.
?Both Star Wars and Angry Birds share the instant and irresistible appeal of hands-on fun,? said Colum Slevin, Vice President, Head of Studio Operations for Lucasfilm Ltd. ?People seem to instinctively know what to do when handed a lightsaber or a bird in a slingshot, so this is a natural combination.?
In the coming weeks, fans can expect additional new videos, characters, and much more exciting content to be revealed.
The game will be available on iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Mac, PC, Windows Phone and Windows 8.
