Angry Birds Star Wars is the fifth Angry Birds game in the series (excluding Bad Piggies) and was first shown on the Angry Birds Facebook page. The teaser video depicts Black Bird (as Obi-Wan) in a hood holding a Lightsaber, parodying the style of clothing worn by the Jedi in Star Wars.

The game combines elements of both Angry Birds and Angry Birds Space, featuring levels that take place on both standard terrain and in outer space. The game begins on Luke Skywalker's home world of Tatooine, moves to the Death Star, and with an in-app purchase (or earning 3-stars on Tatooine/Death Star) ends up in Dagobah. With the exclusion of Blue Bird, all the Birds are given new powers yet seen in a canon Angry Birds title, some of these being upgraded as the game progresses further. One difference is that a Bird may still perform his/her chosen ability moments after becoming a corpse. "Millennium Falcon" is used instead of the "Mighty Eagle" found in previous games.
CHARACTERS:
Red Bird
Luke Skywalker: Luke begins as the standard Red Bird, but gains a blue lightsaber early in the game that allows him to inflict greater damage in a wider radius by swinging the Saber, which can break through barriers to allow Luke to attack hard-to-reach enemies. By completing the "Path of the Jedi", he gets an even stronger weapon, a green Saber. The green Saber can be used to deflect laser shots the Swine Troopers fire at the Birds directly back at the Pigs, up to 4 laser bolts.
Pink Bird
Princess Leia: Sacrificing her bubble-blowing power for a new pull beam, Leia can use this to tug out objects from their original position, causing the structure to become less stable.
Yellow Bird
Han Solo: At the cost of losing his ability to dash, Han becomes armored with a blaster alike the ones occasionally used by the Pigs. Tapping any part of the screen will cause Han to fire three lasers in that direction, which damage objects but ricochets off metal blocks, while still causing minor damage.
Giant Red Bird
Chewbacca: Chewie still remains one of the stronger of the Birds, but now causes small tremors where he lands, which can misplace and damage nearby objects.
Black Bird
Obi-Wan Kenobi: No longer being able to explode, Black Bird now has the power of the "Force", which allows him to use telekinesis to launch blocks and debris at enemies. Later on, this ability is upgraded, allowing Obi-Wan to throw objects further.
Blue Bird
Rebel Pilot: Blue Bird retains his original ability to multiply from other games in the Angry Birds series, with no enhancements.
White Bird
C-3PO: A Droid built in White Bird's image, its primary ability is self-destructing into five body parts.
Space Egg
R2-D2: Modeled after the Space Egg from Angry Birds Space, the Egg can no longer produce black holes, but instead emits an electric shock that can destroy any surrounding Pigs or objects.
In February 2012, Rovio announced a new game in the Angry Birds series to be called Angry Birds Space. Angry Birds Space launched on March 22, 2012, and features elements from the preceding Angry Birds games as well as new gameplay mechanics. The game contains 60 initial levels with extra levels available as free updates and in-app purchases. Angry Birds Space launched on iOS, Android, PC, and Mac, with a Windows Phone release to follow. For the launch of the game, Rovio partnered with wireless carrier T-Mobile to erect a 300-foot tall contraption, with a 35-foot tall red bird resting in it at the Seattle Space Needle to make it look like a giant slingshot. The game is not going to be in part of the Angry Birds Trilogy video game for Kinect for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo 3DS.
