The first free update to Angry Birds Star Wars game is now available for Android. This update comes less than a month after the Angry Birds/Star Wars crossover game made its debut on November 8.
The new Episode V : Hoth update takes the Rebel birds to the snowy planet of Hoth – one of the iconic scenes in Star Wars Episode V Empire Strikes Back classic film. It consists of 20 new levels and introduces Princess Leia (aka Pink Bird) as the latest playable character. Like other characters, Princess Leia has its own power – it’s the GFD device.
On the evil Empire side, the update features the gigantic but ugly pig-styled AT-AT walkers.
It is a dark time for the Rebellion. Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth. Unfortunately the evil Darth Vader discovers their hideout, and the desperate Rebel birds must escape the AT-ATs and Pigtroopers hot on their trail. But the Rebels have an ace up their sleeve with the debut of PRINCESS LEIA!
Here’s the gameplay video on Hoth episode.
