Last week, we announced the new Angry Birds Star Wars II leaked TELEPODs, which include Han Solo encased in frozen Carbonite.
Well , that was last week.
Today, we want to point your attention to the Angry Birds Tumblr page, which officially announces the next Angry Birds Star Wars II Carbonite Pack update. Rovio even went so far to add a countdown time to their Tumblr page, so we know that Carbonite Pack update will land on Friday, Feb. 7 at 7:00 am EST!
If you head to the Tumblr page and share the links on major social media, you can crack through some of the Carbonite to get a little sneak peek. Even the Mighty Eagle himself is sharing!
What would you like to see frozen in carbonite? http://t.co/OZFdGFYeC8 #frozenincarbonite

We suspect that this will be a full-chapter free update, but we aren’t sure about those “original trilogy” characters seen in the TELEPODs. Keeping to the plot line, we shouldn’t see such characters in SW2, but maybe Rovio is looking to change Mr. Lucas’s script!
So ready the Force and your flinger fingers for the next chapter in this prequel saga!
With Full Chapter free Update, do you mean that the ageonosis Levels are out Friday? I expect an Update like the One where Red Battle Droid, Hologramm Sidious and So on where introduced.
I retweeted as requested, and all I got was the image shown above, but without the figure in the lower right, I think. I can’t get it back now. Do you have to both tweet and share on facebook to see that?
I think a bit cracks each day.
So does this mean they expect people to retweet it every day? Of course, if you update it here, it won’t be necessary.
@mvlna2 I was about to mention this idea- if ABN were to post the bit that breaks open each day, that would save me a lot of trouble… I’d rather not have to tweet it every single day.
@MVNLA2 – @spacemaster You are not reqired to tweet that/share that,you have just to tap one of the buttons and it will still crack open.Pretty tricky,you shall try it
yep. @togs is right you don’t have to share/tweet it,just click and close
im wondering bout this full chapter thing……will they not do wat they did with the last update and just introduce the new charachters with extra 2 bonus levels on each side of battle of naboo to make the total number of stars acheivable to 72 out of 72 like the 1st chapter,coz rite now battle of naboo only has 66 stars to acheive each side,the same as naboo invasion and escape to tattoinie had before the red droid and hologram emperor came along…..,wen that new charachter update came the battle of naboo(we didnt know wat it was called then)picture that said coming soon was blank,then update of characters came and although it still said coming soon the blank picture was filled in dull but u cud see padme and then about 1 or 2 weeks later(think it was 1 but not exactly sure),the picture was bright and battle of naboo arrived……i think same thing is gonna happen here,not another full chapter yet,but just charachters then a week or 2 the 4th chapter,which from the blank pic i think looks like anakin ep 2 but i may be wrong,may come along….unless they do just release a new chapter in the update and keep the battle of naboo stars at 66,maybe just for now,but on absw1 the chapters did hv diff acheivable star amounts so this cud be the same i dont know…im eager as everyone else to see and cant wait…..hope it is a whole new chapter…..we shall hv 2 wait and see…..excited.
Yes it’s a bit strange because 1 month ago we had the last full chapter update and since then no other AB game was updated.
But on the other hand do you really think that zhey would make s countdown for only 4 new levels? And why would they call it Carbonite Pack?
It’s out now. And you were right. Only 4 new levels. :-(
Sorry, I forgot the Reward levels. So there are 10 new levels.
Drooling in anticipation! Have shared the links etc – roll on next Friday!
Sounds interesting and looking forward to any update in ABSW2. Still working my way through Escape to Tatooine with a detour down the “GO” road but should be back into the space ship and parking the autos for now. I hope they provide a full chapter. Based on Rovio’s previous release of this game it is logical. Also they will probably add some levels to the Rewards Chapter just to complete the releasing of the characters.
I would guess they will present the “Galactic Network” sign into the Rovio Account with this update.
The character black outlines in the “Coming Soon!” update appear to be Anakin Skywalker Bird Padawan and either Boba Fett or Jango Fett Pig.
That’s Jango Fett.Boba Fett wasn’t there in that epiode.
I think (well, hope) that those Telepods will be available in game, or at least carbonite Han Solo. Not much that I can uncover, but I don’t think it has anything to do with the next chapter.
This is probably off-topic, but I want some updates to Bad Piggies. We haven’t seen one in….forever.
I do wants some Bad Piggies update as well, but perhaps some update for AB games might hold me a bit
@rost i don’t think that the telepods will be ingame,because its from the original trilogy,so it won’t be ingame,but don’t worry,it will be in the (watto’s)shop
And i exactly agree with you,because it was about 4 months since Bad Piggies has an update,and dont have any update since then.
Great, an update exactly before my B-Day.
Also, can Jar-Jar Binks be the one frozen in carbonite instead? Nobody likes him.
We all wish that he was XD
Hey,i heard that behind the carbonite is videos about the characters powers,but i have no proof for that…
I think i found something.
@togs — Where did you find that? Please post link.
The picture is not mine,a copied her from a westbite. (not the Angry Birds Star Wars page trouch)I heard the videos are hidden in the carborite from the ABSW westbite
@mvnla2 Nvm,just change your computer’s date (like @josm said) to February 7 or later,scroll down and you will find the non-working videos
YESSSS KIT FISTO!!!!!!!
@arthromod Wonder what he does.
If he is a Jedi, he may have a lightsaber.
A new update should be fun. Although SWII is not among my favorites in the AB series.
newest: http://static.tumblr.com/tiabvrk/XWxn099ch/phase3.jpg
more color
and more faces!
So,how did you crack opened the carbonite even more? I don’t get it.
I dont know i sgared the picture the first day and now it just like this picture, later it was gone /)
I can see Han Solo and Jaaba the Hutt more clearly in the Carbonite block.
On that Tumblr page they used to post high quality versions of the Angry Birds Star Wars “story” images (which are shown in the game after completing some levels or when selecting the hologram icons on the level selection screens).
They stopped after image number 21 (Falcon landing on Cloud City). Any idea if the remaining pictures will be posted or does anyone know if they can be downloaded somewhere else? Thanks.
i think jar jar is defo in this update(sorry every1).wat makes me think that…..well 2day i was in tescos supermarket and even tho i hv all charachters unlocked without telepods…..i decided 2 go look and see if this carbonite pack mite be in early(more of a hope longshot really)….they arent there jet but the darth maul luke skywalker hologram emperor ect telepods were there but on the box where they show u the toy going over the camera,it was on a level or world i hvnt seen b4 in the game and i know all the levels(it looked like tattonie again),and there were a pic of jar jar grasping his tounge onto a ledge but he was attacking something i hvnt seen b4 in the game…..it wasnt green pigs…..it looked like battle droid(the gold one)…..there were 6 of the battle droids total and u seen the laser blasts in waves of 3 like in previous absw games…..killing the battle droids,never seen that b4…..i think this is the coming update(hope so)….so if anyone has the big pack of telepods….the 40pound ones…..look on the box and u will see jar jar attacking the droids and the laser waves…..im not sure if this picture is on all telepod boxes tho…..cmon friday plz…..
also quin jon is dead now as darth maul killed him…and the coming soon screen looks like anakin ep 2 so i think this chapter will still be episode 1 but near the end….maybe 5 levels maybe 10(dont know),and go into chapter 2.and i also wonder about boss fight as in the movie obi wan kills darth maul so maybe this is a boss fight that will see the end of darth maul by obi wan(prob in the picture story).
@steveieboy that has been there for a very long time my friend and also that IS a level! Don’t worry I understand!
Wait this doesn’t make sense Obi-Wan kills Darth Maul right after Maul kills Qui-Gon. But Maul doesn’t kill Fisto because in episode III he is going to arrest Palpatine with the other Jedi but that is where he is killed by Palpatine. I am confused with what you said.
@arthromod darth maul is only in ep1 star wars prequel
@stevieboy I would like to apologize. I thought you said Kit Fisto was killed by Darth Maul please accept my misunderstanding.
Great News. Sounds good. Can’t wait!

@Miezko where did you find that?
Found it at Angry Birds Wiki @josm!
@miezko do you have a link to that page? cant find it on wikia :(
Thanks, fount it allready at:

@miezko woohooo find it on the angry birds tumblr page, final phase of the carbonite in HD:
http://static.tumblr.com/tiabvrk/iMnn099g9/phase8.jpg
Cool, BTW, @josm, do you think that the Geonosis levels will be in this update? i personally think that they will be added later…?
@miezko This may sound stupid, but i dont know what you’re talking about :P i have not watched the movies, not yet
@miezko I don’t think so, the battle of Geonosis was at the end of Episode II and ABSW2 is now at the very beginning. I guess (read I hope) we may get some Coruscant levels first.
@josm, @annifrid, sorry, i watched every SW film, except Attack of the Clones, so i thought Battle of Geonosis takes place at the beginning, but Coruscant levels should be even better!
Or we will get levels for the planet where the clones were created which the name escapes me ATM.
From the “Pack” name, I have a bad feeling that this is an in-app purchase.
Just change the date on your PC to friday or later, and then you will see all the pictures,videos (dont work yet) and news on the Tumblr site:
ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS II:

Should I go watch The LEGO Movie premiere, or play this update? Hmmm…
THE LEGO Movie premiere may go away,but the update can’t
Either play the levels before or after the movie! Don’t worry you are not the only one doing this. :D I love Legos too.
Yippee! It’s been a while since last flurry of releases. A Seasons update for Valentine’s Day or Easter would be nice too. Rio 2 (the movie) comes out on April 11 so I’m hoping for a new game to go with that too.
Will angry birds star wars 2 be available for Nook??
We don’t have that information. You would have to ask Rovio, the developer.
I have a question: what does “tumblr” mean?
tumblr is a social network and microblogging platform website. For more info, here’s a link to the Wikipedia page: Tumblr
Thanks
A couple of things of note:
1. This book (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Angry-Birds-Star-Character-Encyclopedia/dp/1409345750/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1391536195&sr=1-3&keywords=angry+birds+star+wars) arrived yesterday. It gives new names to nearly all of the Star Wars characters and includes some that we’re yet to see, although omits Silver C-3PYOLK and probably a couple of others (I’m only halfway through)
2. The aforementioned new Telepods arrived today that I eBayed from the States. The pack contains Jabba, Carbonite Ham, Wicket, Lando, Royal Guard and Tusken. The insert shows Kit and the Shock Trooper so we definitely have those to come.
I did try the Telepods in hope. I got an error message saying this character wasn’t working.
@AMslimfordy The update is gonna out TOMOROW!I just changed my date to 6th and the Carbonite opened,along with the videos.I may be wrong,maybe there’s a glich,maybe only the picture and the vids will be released only but this is something interesting to talk about.
I couldn’t get the videos to work. What are the powers?
@spacemaster I have NO IDEA where are they.Same problem to me.
@togs It’s all speculation. Which is fine.
The update is still scheduled to be released on Friday ( in 1 day 22 hours)
@togs Perhaps the videos will be available tomorrow, but the update won’t be until Friday.
Told ya,it is released today
Just picked up my new telepods at Toys R Us. I’m ready for the update!
The update is out now for android via google play!
ios too!
Rovio account available to!
The rovio account:
– Works trough android – iOS
– Transfers achievements
– Does not transfer bird coins or bird swaps
Yeah,mine started updating the minute I turned my phone on!
Do you remember that Jango Fett exploded after hitting something? Now he is just falling down!
@miezko @kathi17 @josm @chriss Thanks for all you info. Our new post regarding today’s release is live, so please feel free to direct any future comments there. Thanks again!
