The first content-based update has arrived for Angry Birds Star Wars II! While its not a huge amount of content, it’s still a very positive sign that Rovio wanted to push some content into the brand new app. This update is currently available for iOS and Android via Google Play, with more platforms coming soon.
This update includes:
- 8 Secret Levels! These are unlocked by finding and obtaining Treasures Maps in-game. If you need help, be sure to consult our Complete Treasure Maps Guide. Our walkthroughs are live!
- 4 New Characters! Prepare for Silver C-3PO, Red Battle Droid, Hologram Darth Sidious, and Shadowtrooper! Which also means…
- 4 New Reward Chapter Levels! Remember that these levels are unlocked by obtaining certain damage-point thresholds with each character. (And some characters may not be available yet in normal gameplay.)
- Note: The Bonus Box originally found in Reward Chapter Level PR-13 (TIE Fighter Pilot) has been removed in this update. We believe this was a conscious decision, since the existence of five Boxes in Reward Chapter Pork Side was likely an accident in the initial release. With the removal, the count drops to 4 Bonus Boxes per side per episode.

@AMslimfordy v1.1.1 is available now for Android :)
Thanks @iBird. I see it on Google Play only for now, though Amazon should land pretty soon.
Any word when Amazon will have the update?
We do not have information on when updates will land for specific platforms.
I haven’t updated it yet and wouldn’t be able before late this night, so I am curious how do you unlocke new characters? do you buy them from Watto+s shop for bird coins and how much they cost? WOW! Such exclusive characters would get thir telepods figurines really soon, more money to spend to shopaholic AB fans. I hoped that I finally complete my collection and that I neeed only Boba Fett and now there are 4 characters more. Oh, dear…
More destruction on the way. Be careful piggies.
Yes! Now update!
I love ABSW2! Thanks Rovio!!
Cool, new stuff! Will have to update when I get back from school, but this looks like it could be pretty awesome. New stuff is always awesome. :D
@AMslimfordy is this update available fr the free android version
@cinder Both the paid and ad-based versions were updated in Google Play.
I don’t know why but I lost all my progress on Android. Anyone faced the same issue?
So the 4 New characters can’t be unlocked by normal gameplay, right?
No, not yet anyways. The Red Battle Droid and Holo Sidious could possibly show up later. The Shadowtrooper won’t (he is from the comics) and they have already gone past where Silver C-3PO (Why they didn’t call him TC-14 confuses me.) would have been introduced.
Actually TC-14 and Silver C-3PO are two completely different characters. In Attack of the Clones, C-3PO has silver plating; he gets gold plating in Episode III. Makes me wonder why C-3PO isn’t “naked” (as said by R2-D2), without plating, in Episode I…
Oh, of course. Thank you for correcting me. I never even considered AotC C-3PO since they went straight to the gold version and he is more grey than silver. Plus when the game was originally released the Pork Side had four characters less than the Bird Side so I erroneously assumed all four of these were Pork Side characters.
Not the kinda update I was hoping for but it’s better than no updates at all.
I also noticed that ABO v 3.3.5 was released (on Google Play)… I assume it’s bug fixes… didn’t see anything new added.
Version 3.3.5 adds Japanese language support
HURRY on those walkthroughs! level B1-s4 (second new naboo invasion level) is without a doubt the most evil, difficult, impossible to three star, level ever devised!
Done it! Seems to be over 80,000 points.
Fire c3-p0 over first TNT and explode just as passing first enemy, debris will hopefully release first helicopter into chain holding second helicopter. First helicopter takes out last 2 towers with help from TNT. All that should be left s first 3 enemies. Send r2-d2 into first tower & charge the remaining enemies. With 10,000 for final c3-p0 should claim the 3 stars
First bird just right of the first pig, explode after impact. This clears the left structure and the gem. Second bird just to the right of the topmost pig, explode after impact. This kills the pig and gem, pieces of the bird break the chain, TNT explodes and clears the rest. 66k, 3 stars.
It wouldn’t hurt to ask a bit nicer, yaknow.
No hurry @amslimfordy, I got my 3 stars. Enjoy the parade!
I apologize @AMslimfordy if i came across not nice there. just a wee bit frustrated. then i got it completely by accident (don’t know how even) when my cat stepped in front of the screen!
i should probably explain…I play the android version on the PC using BlueStacks android emulator. my piece of bantha poodoo phone doesn’t have the computing power to play it very well. cat walked in front of the monitor just as i was flinging…so i really have no idea how i got three stars.
I kind of wish they’d put a little more effort into these new characters’ designs; they’re all just recolorings of previous characters. The Red Battle Droid seems especially unoriginal.
However, the holographic power is AMAZING. I really like shadow trooper gameplay-wise. The tweaks to the Droideka design are nice too.
Tough to get some of these maps! I’ll keep trying though! Love the surprise update!
I got all but the first one fairly easily. I hated that B12 level the first time around, and was hoping that wouldn’t be where any of the treasure maps were.
Maybe now that I’ve whined, I will be able to get it!
Like the swing around the magnets of Red Battle Droid. Going to be very interesting on the game play. Great graphics.
3-starred the new map levels, took some work, more points to chase though. Heading to Toys-R-Us shortly to see if they have the new character telepods.
After this update I can’t seem to buy more credits. Anyone else having this problem? I’d like to get some feedback before I report it as a bug.

I have added the four new characters to the image of all the characters that I originally made by cropping them from their character videos and putting them on the silhouette image.
Does anyone think that the new ghost power could have been used for a ghost bird in a Seasons update?!
Downloaded the new update, but no “treasure maps” at all show up on the levels where the walkthroughs say they should be. Tried both restarting the app and restarting the (iOS) device. Baffled. Help.
If you check the level selection screen, do you see the alternative paths?
Aghh! (Facepalm) Just realized I was looking for new treasure maps in the levels that led to the *original* secret paths. Total bonehead mistake. I see where the new paths are are now.
I’m loving this update, especially the new Hologram type ability.
Is Silver C-3PO (Erm…TC-14?) different in any way from the standard Gold C-3PO?
@RizDub has an explanation that this is not TC-14 above… But no difference in ability.
Ah, I see
Not sure if it’s worth noting, but Shadowtroopers carry lightsabers, not blasters (the SW Wiki page for Shadowtroopers has this info). I wonder why Rovio gave them blasters…
@angrybirdsfanguy438 Because it is not really a “Shadowtrooper”, it is a “Shadow Stormtrooper”.
Maybe because the Shadowtrooper is just simply a black recolor version of the Stormtrooper, but with the hologram ability added.
If you look closely, the difference between an entire black recolor and the shadowtrooper is that the ST has white glowing eyes and its shape distorts and shifts every so often.
But after the Shadowtrooper uses his power, the glowing eyes and distortation disappears, revealing his undistorted look.
This is the same case for the Hologram Darth Sidious, as after he uses his electricity ability, he turns into the regular Darth Sidious.
Well, the only difference is that the Silver version split into 4 pieces, Gold splits into 5.
Yay, new update! I love the holograms, they look awesome! And I think the silver C-3P0 is actually called TC-38. But the rest looks like fun!
Actually, the Silver C-3PO is just the regular C-3PO as seen from Episode 1 of the saga.
@rizdub has mention the differences on the eight comment on this post.
I keep getting crashed for updating to 1.1.0, anyone having the same issue?
On what device, @Kceady?
Hey there, thank you for your reply. Sorry for the late response, it happens to my iphone, ios 5.0.2 I believe.
can we have those character on pc if we don t have windows 8 ???
This update is not yet available for PC.
The ‘version’ part of the Amazon description on the app says 1.1.1, but the app itself says 1.0.0, and its not demanding an update.
I’d love to add some characters from clone wars like captain rex or commander cody :)
Hey @amslimfordy I have some news. The news is when I saw the rio 2 movie poster, I saw that at the bottom left of it have an angry birds rio icon and it said ‘more level coming soon’ . So is this mean that rovio will having an update for angry birds rio

Rovio has been quite clear that they will continue to update Angry Birds Rio.
I actually found that Angry Birds Rio update news 1 month ago.
For those who don’t know, Rio 2 will debut in theaters April 11, 2014. (5 months from today). Here’s their link to their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/RioTheMovie
Update availabe for PC!
Installed it. It’s not 1.1.0 It’s 1.0.1 without any aparent changes. Maybe bug fix version.
Secret Levels finished. I am up to Date right now :-)
Are telepods available for the four new characters? I have been looking, but have not seen any of them in the local Toys R Us.
Yes, I think it’s a “Heroes vs. Villains” pack — if I remember correctly.
