Angry Birds Star Wars Death Star Level 2-8 Walkthrough

Our strategy for Angry Birds Star Wars Death Star level 2-8 is to fire Luke into the large stone square in the middle of debris. Don’t use the lightsaber until after impact, as you don’t want to cause too much damage to this block. Fire a Blue bird into the northern remaining debris, popping all pigs besides perhaps the one with the laser blaster. If he survived, crush him with the southern debris.

I used two birds: first bird to the upper part of the block field. Use light sabre. This should take care of the pigs on the right side. Then the second bird as in the video.

I seem to remember one-birding this level when I was first going through the episode, but I can’t quite remember how. Assuming my memory isn’t failing me, I know I left the floating debris essentially untouched as the pig with the laser tilted over and shot all of his comrades to pieces. But no matter what I try, I haven’t been able to replicate this. I have a vague memory of slicing through the two metal blocks, and I have indeed gotten the pig to tilt suggestively when hit obliquely by a broken metal block, but it hasn’t yet tilted steeply enough to take out more than a bit of the structure. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

This is a one-birder. I didn’t use the lightsaber at all. Just aimed at the center of the lowest small block. It should go into the forcefield and bump the bottom of the block under the piggy to shift your fire to the right enough to take out everything. I got 60,520 using this method. Good luck :)

Nice idea – it took a few times for me to get it though, as a piece of debris tended to take out the blaster pig before he could shoot up the level.

excellent idea, @Skippy :D bumped my score up nicely using this method, though it does take a little while to dial in. I found taking a touch off full speed pushed the 2-brick block to tilt the blaster pig just enough so there was enough firing time to clear the level before the pig was tonked with the smaller block.

Hi, @skippy and others. I’m not understanding to which block you’re referring when you say “the lowest small block.” Because the lowest (bottom row closest to the gravitational pull) of the small blocks (the single square size) are WAY over to the far right side. Not only would they have no impact on the laser pig but there are several other rows of blocks in the way. If someone could please clarify which block I’m supposed to hit for this one-bird method (that tilts the laser pig) I’d really appreciate it! Thanks and good luck, all!

I found that if I throw Luke towards the northern part of the field and don’t use the light saber he can push enough debris into the atmosphere to cause the right-hand side of the level to be destroyed. I then throw a blue bird to the southern part of the debris field to take care of the blaster-firing pig. Anyway you do it, the trick is to get enough metal to fall so that the ricochets from the blaster will do the bulk of the damage.

I was able to tilt the pig enough to fire along the ground at the base of the structures. Alas, I got greedy trying to knock blocks down to be shot and wasn’t able to clear the level with the last bird. It did rack up quite a good score, and just goes to show that it IS possible.

I have tried that several times but my high score has topped so far at 65 k I have no doubt that 70k + is possible though. The nice thing about your trick is that even if you don’t annihilate the level with the first bird you can use the second to push more debri into the atmosphere and take care of the rest, I got a 64k score that way. Another thing I found out just cause I wanted to try an do it is if you aim at the 2 smaller bricks at the bottom of the pile and cut through them after you launch you can turn shooter pig into a rocking chair of chaos, that was worth a 60k score the one time I nailed it. This is the most fun level so far on this series IMO, multiple ways to finish.

This is how i got my score thanks @optik @13urnout i did use 2 birds, also with suggestion from @casey&amy to destroy the 2 blocks on the way:)

By Casey&Amy

one birder
Throw the bird aiming for the right upper floating blocks as other comments suggested but needed to use light saber to destroy the two floating blocks (one ice square, one metal square) that block the path. Opened the saber before i hit them. Lots of ice on the planet and floating pieces remained but got lucky with a one birder. Going to try keep trying for a higher score with a two bird throw. :)

By Casey&Amy

63,830 with two birds
Threw first as I said before and broke the two blocks. Killed everything but the shooting pig and shot the second bird as the first comment said (like the third bird throw in the video walk through.) Broke the blue bird late and the big metal block landed on the shooting pig.

Two birds, yes. And timing with the lasers. I aimed for the top right corner of the longer floating metal block around the mid to upper grouping. Released about when the next round of shots went off. Sliced light saber to clear metal & ice block out of the way. Cleared all but the left planet side. Second shot, generally downward and split to hit as much as possible to drop down & destroy.

This is the way I got my 69470 with a 2-birder.

For me on Android phone I’d already figured out that aiming for top right pile seemed to be what would work best, but the suggestion by Casey&Amy to open sabre before hitting the small floating blocks is just what I needed for this score. It’s not a Top 10, but for now it’s 28 & considering some of my Death Star scores are in the 300s & 400s on the Leaderboard, I’m happy :-).

It took many tries to not just get last pig but to get enough debris to fall for decent score. I never could get a 1-birder whether I was shooting this way or trying to tilt the “shooting” pig so that lasers would do all the damage.

Thanks all

Great tip to swing at the 2 floating blocks, thank you Casey&Amy! I aim at the line between them or just a hair above, & fling just before the pigtrooper is about to fire his next volley.
Then the 2nd into the lower left, splitting early. The large square metal blocks each add about 2k to the score so they need to be destroyed.

1-bird: Luke to upper field to push floating blocks into gravity field. I aimed him into the gap in the blocks. Did not use the saber. Laser ricocheted until all pigs, including the shooter were dead. Wish I could give a more precise target but I wasn’t aiming at a target as this was the first time I had tried aiming into the gap. That Death Star is getting closer and closer…

2 birder. First i fired Luke above the ice and stone barriers. I did this at a time when I knew Luke could deflect as many lasers as possible (should be just before the second laser is fired). The lasers were thrown back at the pigs on the right and most of them were dead. I then sent the Blue pilots toward the shooting pig and split halfway. (Note: if the Rebel pilots have their advanced ability [which is a stronger impact] then this works much better). The stone rained down on the planet killing the remaining pigs.

I just scored 73,060 using the two screenshots of @comex666 for guidance. Thanks to all for who posted strategies. The first shot is like everyone says, aim for the ice/concrete block combo, using lightsabre just before contact. Second shot is trickier. I tried splitting blue birds right out of slingshot & slightly past slingshot. For this score, I split just after I released the bird. The secret to a good score seems to be to get the bluebirds to move as much stuff as possible toward the lazer pig. Happy flinging !!

I wonder : if you play this level before playing Level 1-9, does Luke get his lightsaber ?
I can’t try anymore as I’ve already started Moon of Endor :(
But i’d like to try to 3-star the game without upgraded birds, if possible.
