Can someone please tell me how does Anakin turn in the final scene of the Anakin Skywalker Podracer vid? I seem to be missing something?
Looks to me like a tap to redirect the pod to the point tapped. Kind of like the purple bird in space, but with the added benefit of Anakin swinging wildly off the back for more destruction.
new part of powers:
Light-Saber:Anakin Jedi Padawan
Miscellaneous: C-3PO & Anakin Pod Racer
Laser:Captain Panaka
Podracer Anakin’s power is very cool!! I love it..
I must say that his power is most awesome than any other character’s power, revealed so far :D
I Go with you @ibird, but i alo like mmmh… General Grievous with his four lightsaber attack.But why are there no longer any Pork Side Characters, i miss them really.
Yes, he is my favorite bird side character :)
So do we think all the characters will be available in the first release?
They’ve started introducing characters I don’t remember from the films, but I’m not that dedicated a fan.
They will all be available through Telepods but I think that less then half of them will be normally usable in the first release.
I think these will be available in the first two levels:
Emperor Palpatine
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Qui-Gon Jinn
Yoda
Darth Maul
Padme Amidala
Mace Windu
Anakin Skywalker Podracer
Jar Jar Binks
R2-D2
Captain Panaka
Jedi Youngling
Battle Droid
Droideka
These will become available in later updates:
Darth Vader
Anakin Skywalker Jedi Knight
Count Dooku
Jango Fett
General Grievous
Anakin Skywalker Jedi Padawan
Chewbacca
Zam Wesell
C-3PO
These will only be useable through Telepods:
Boba Fett
Luke Skywalker Pilot
Luke Skywalker Jedi
Biker Scout
Princess Leia
Stormtrooper
TIE Fighter Pilot
Luke Skywalker Endor
Han Solo
That is my guess for the normal levels anyways. Who knows what the bonus levels will be like.
The Captain looks pretty powerful and the pod racer could be very useful at times. I’m not seeing any real difference between any of the lightsabre characters like Luke and Anakin. Am I missing something?
I’m not seeing a notable difference either, except for Mace Windu.
Captain Panaka is useful in cutting chains which hold bricks so that the bricks will fall on top of the pigs . In character-videos, the characters are shown as powerful as possible. I agree that Anakin pod-racer is useful in most levels.
@sntrooper the sillhouettes are showing 17 characters from birds, but we have allready 17 seen now, but not chewie???
@josm, Padawan Anakin was put in the dark side meaning that there is 18 republic characters.
19 if you count the Sith Apprentice Anakin.
As promised here is the update to the characters image.

Thanks! that explains why Chewbacca isn’t on the picture yet, but why is Anakin Skywalker Jedi Padawan on the Pork Side>?
That’s not Anakin Skywalker Jedi Padawan, that’s the Jedi Knight/Sith one. If you watch the movie, he join the dark side to save his wife, padme (maybe Im wrong?) but ended up to fell to the dark side and become Darth Vader…
On the original silhouettes image (http://www.rovio.com/UserFiles/absw2charactersilhouettes.png) Padawan Anakin is red for some reason. Most likely just an error when they colored them.
@sntrooper Maybe, or not: Tweet from Angry Birds:
‘In Angry Birds Star Wars 2, Anakin is playable in many different forms: #MayTheBirdsBeWithYou #JoinThePorkSide’
BTW, I thinks Anakin Skywalker Jedi Padawan still on the right side, not the dark one…
I think Anakin becomes full Jedi during episode 3, still a padawan in episode 2, because in episode one, Qui-Gon had just “discovered” him, so to speak. Then (back to episode 3) he was lured to The Dark Side because he had visions of Padme dying & Palpatine said he could teach him how to save her using the force. BUT IT WAS A TRAP!
@concretebrunette Anakin never became a full Jedi. He turned to the dark side instead.
Ahh, that’s right. I need another lay-in-bed-and-watch-Star-Wars-all-weekend pretty soon. But did you see what I did there? I made an “it’s a trap!” joke. Sort of.
@sntrooper great job!!! Thanks!!!
So far Anakin Skywalker podracer is the best. I wonder about how general grevious’s power is gonna be. Four light saber at the same time? or consequently?
BTW Captain Panaka is not so bad. Looks as if he has Han solo’s and Lando’s power combined.

Anakin Skywalker Podracer is really cool. New technique, love it
I agree, but I have a suspicion that he’ll operate like Boomerang Bird does. Which is annoying.
No, only if you click on something what is behind him ;)
Hmmmmm!!
Looks like he is more like the laser bird. You direct him where you want (notice the crosshairs in the video) but instead of going straight there like laser does, he sort of curves towards the spot.
Oh, I totally agree @joeyba. ASP looks like great fun to fling…great the it can turn corners and destroy the pigs.
Ok, so how many new powers are being introduced in this game?
So far the brand new powers we have seen are
Lightning: Emperor
Pinball: Yoda & Droideka
Lightsaber Throw: Mace
Podracer: Anakin Podracer
Grappling Hook: Jar Jar & Zam
Rocket: Boba Fett
Tthese are new versions of previous powers
Repulse Ray: Padme
Double Shotgun: Panaka
Triple Swing Lightsaber: Luke Jedi & Luke Endor
Double Shot: TIE Pilot
And these are the returning powers
Force Push: Obi-Wan
Lightsaber: Qui-Gon, Anakin Padwan, Luke Pilot
Zapper: R2-D2
Split Bird: Younglings
Break-A-Part: C-3PO
Disrupter Ray: Leia
Blaster: Han
I’m excited that we’ll get to use R2 & C3PO in regular game play. I always thought they’d be quite useful. Unless they’re a telepod, in which case, boooo.
hi i have angry birds star wars v1.3.0 and i didn’t unlock (path of the the jedi) can i unlock it by 3 staring in all levels even in hoth and cloud city
or just by 3 staring in tatooin and death star and bounce levels
I was able to unlocked it by 3 staring all Tatooine, Death Star, Hoth and Boba Fett Mission levels. Although I think that is an error and I was supposed to have to get all the Cloud City levels instead of the Boba Fett ones.
You must 3-star all available levels — if you want PotJ for free. That’s Tatooine, Death Star, Hoth, and Cloud City.
How many more characters to be announced still?
10 more Characters, Chewbacca from the Rebellion and 9 others from the Pork Side
I think it is going to be a red light saber.
@amslimfordy any chance you can find out from a Rovio contact what is happening with Star Wars 1 (update)? When Rovio first announced Star Wars 2 they stated that they would update Star Wars 1 prior to the release of Star Wars 2 ….now we are 9 days away from the release of SW2 yet still no update for SW1 :(
@chucky Yesterday they said ‘Coming Soon’ again so maybe this week
@Josm where abouts did they say that? As I can’t find anything on FB.
@chucky yes on facebook
@Josm, Have you got a link? as I am unable to find the post you are talking about.
It was’nt on a post, just a message on their wall
@chucky Rovio never stated that ROTJ will land before ABSW II. They simply said that there will be one for ABSW I.
@Sal, I am not sure what you read, But I read numerous posts from Angry Birds on the FB page stating it would be released prior to SW2 (back when SW2 was first announced)…Will try to grab a link for you if I can find it.
@Sal9 after looking for multiple posts where they stated it (and I even replied to them) from what I can see they have removed any posts where they stated it would be released prior to SW2 (as my replies to them are also gone). So I can only assume they have changed their minds or ran out of time with everything else coming out…such as reds mighty feathers next week (and sw2)
@Chucky I monitor Rovio’s Facebook and Twitter feeds pretty closely. I haven’t seen one statement that RotJ would come before SW2. It was wildly speculated, but never said officially.
