Rovio has been slowly releasing an Angry Birds Star Wars comic strip on their Tumblr page. Below you will find all the parts released to date. We will add the additional parts here as they exit lightspeed. As you may have noticed, thus far the comic strip follows the story-line of Star Wars Part IV: A New Hope.
If you’ve been stranded in the Tatooine desert and have yet to hear about Angry Birds Star Wars we’ve got a ton of info and images in this post.
* Note, the images are quite large, so clicking on the thumbnails will open each image in a new page.

Just to make sure.. Angry birds Star Wars is a new game or an update?
a brand new game
New app.
… yes hopefully a brand new app but i can`t believe it :-) I order Star Wars cause of the style to Angry Birds Space!? I am looking forward to November :-)
Thanks for replying fast :)
Do you ever think they will finish the AB Space comic?
Rovio said it will come out in a big update… there was a big update a few months ago (adding Red Planet and Space Eggs) but there were no new comics. So I’ve stopped checking. Maybe they’ll release more on the first anniversary of the launch.
Maybe with the next update to Red Planet?
Number 4 looks great. It is fun to see how Rovio is depicting the main characters of Star Wars between the different types of birds and the pigs for the evil forces. This appears to have the makings of a great game.
Very good stuff :-)
NEW BIRDS! JAWA BIRDS!
I hope they are playable!
Seeing as in comic five, there will be new pigs! and in some toys, more new pigs! like, JABBA THE HUT PIG! also, boomerang(Hal) should be jar-jar.
i have a strong suspicion the Jawa’s are our good friends Jim, Jay and Jake, as their are three of them and they seem smaller than Red. Anyone else think so?
Also in regards to your opinion on Hal, the best one ive seem is posted as fan art on the Tumblr page, Hal as Boba Fett! (Link bellow)

I have to disagree on this, if you look at some of the toys from the older posts, the blue bird looks like a hoth rebel..
could you please send me a link to this… would love to have a look. very interested!!

Thanks! i did some searching of my own, and i know completely agree… theyve also launched a set of Star Wars based tees, and the one that helped is below:

Get a load of that ’70’s hairstyle on the Luke bird character! :-)
Hey, I just noticed that the countdown clock on the Tumblr page is counting down to 1:00pm on the 8th here on the West Coast of North America. I wonder if there is some significance to that particular time. Usually apps launch and update before I wake up in the morning.
@burbman – there could be some kind of event to coincide with the launch of the game, and if LucasFilms is involved, that could be a possible explanation, since They are in Marin county, south of San Francisco. Just a guess….
@Burbman — Very interesting. When Peter Vesterbacka was in NY for the big announcement about ABSW, he tweated something about a ABSW event in LA. At the time, I thought it was coming soon, but maybe on Nov 8?
Nice find! Good to see most of the flock together!
hmmm, they might be replacement characters when the game deems them necessary.
There was also fan art with Al as Yoda, but if you vote for the rebels you can sometimes see a picture of Yodabird with a quote. I have a pic of him in my album…
Thus Al cant be Yodabird.
Seems like a new halloween update is coming,this time haunted house themed,with ripped wallpapers,ghosts on the background ;D
I don’t see anything conclusive. I assume you’re basing this on the Halloween contest that Rovio is running?
Yup,the picture itself seems to be a some kind of teaser,see the backgrounds of that picture?possible enough to be the background,and the new logo with skull?and one hour ago somebody was asking about a halloween update on twitter and they say “You Will Find Out Soon Enough” ;)
I will agree that I personally believe there will be a Hallowren update. However I’m hesitant to call that conclusive evidence.
I thought you might like to know that the 2nd paragraph is missing an opening parenthesis. I am a fan of Angry Birds and can’t wait until ABSW comes out!
I think the closing parenthesis was rogue. It’s been fixed, thanks.
You’re welcome.
Had a dream last night about ABSW. It was pretty cool. The game was more like Lego star wars and not AB gameplay. Idk It would be cool if the gameplay was a action base and not just replaces the AB with costumes.
If black bird is Obi-wan, doesn’t that mean he’ll die at some point and we won’t play him anymore?
I personally think he’ll come back as a ghost like in the movies.
Maybe he will be able to pass through things then!
Why these comics have no captions? Weird, isn’t it? All the other comics had them
I know obi-wan dies, but i think Rovio won’t take plot to that way
Those illustrations don’t need a caption ;)
Will it use Zero-Gravity?????????
They forgot The Boomerang AND Orange Birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for now… I think personally Bubbles will be Lard Vader and Al will be… someone else? That means that if they do Ep. I, II, and III then Bubbles would be Anakin, and Al could be idk Jar-Jar? They are both clumsy and talk similarly (if you compare the SW movies to the Summer Pignic animation which was the only animation so far to include a moving Al sprite
I can now make an estimate that there will be fifteen of these, since they release a new one every two days until November 8.
I wonder if there will be a mighty eagle, maybe the “force eagle”?
I wonder if they will have a Han-bird Shot First comic!
Looks like they did!
#8 is out! http://angrybirds.tumblr.com/post/34245284388
#10 is out! Now we know for sure what the blue birds will be!
?? What Blue Birds in comic no. 10? What am I missing? Why is there a comment underneath saying …looks like the Blue Birds will be in the game? Did it come from Rovio like that? That’s Luke/Red Bird piloting the ship. R2 sitting in the back is the give away.
Are you sure? Doesn’t look Red to me…
His helmet is blue and there’s some red showing under his eyes. I’m more so going from the movie as in R2 was always with Luke.
The quote is from Rovio. I’m pretty sure that’s a blue bird in there.
I just googled some blue bird pictures and noticed blue bird has red under his eyes so I’m confused even more now as when you blow the pic up it does look like it’s a blue bird. Oh well, not too long to wait now.
And if Rovio made the comments then it must be a blue bird. It’s R2 that threw me off.
that might not be R2(IMO), it’s shape is a bit different, and many rebel planes had droids that looked like R2, it could be any droid
although there is one question that stumbles me, why are there pig faces on the side on the rebel fighter plane?
That shows how many pigs he’s killed.
Every Rebel ship had an R2 unit in the back.
I agree it’s a blue bird.
Thanks, I don’t remember there being droids in all the fighters. I must go an watch the movies again – it’s been ages since I saw them.
@angryperson,the pig faces represent how many “kills” that plane has had.
THe bird also doesnt have blonde hair
Rovio going to release gameplay footage within some moments
I think the Blue Birds are just going to act as a filler for all those rebel characters that don’t yet have a bird. In some of the Hasbro games they’re releasing the BB are Rebel soldiers, X-wing pilots, etc.
Look closely at #9. There WILL be a Mighty Millennium Falcon! And one of the buildings has pig ears. And one more thing. The rebel symbol has a slingshot in it.
#12 is out.
Thanks Dorito! Took me a while to find it; a direct link would help.
I find them all on angrybirds.com/starwars. They release a new one every other day (most of the time).
And I usually add them as soon as I see @Dorito say so ;)
Hey, @amslimfordy, how come my link was deleted?
I don’t know what link you are referring to.
I made a link for comic #12 and now it’s gone. Maybe it was just an accident.
Since we add the comics here, we usually remove links after the fact.
Ah! You beat me to the chase!
I wonder if Obi-Bird will die next comic…
WOW, remaining 4 days!!!
#14 looks awesome!
#15 is out! Did you notice @dorito? Red is going to see Yoda Bird.
I saw. So Yoda bird is playable maybe? I also hope that this isn’t the last comic, since the game is released tomorrow.
“A look behind the look of Angry Birds Star Wars.” I wonder what that means…
Well,It is a NEW bird or just A; or Bubbles?
#19 & #20 are out! Did you notice @dorito?
Leia: The cave is collapsing!
Han: This is no cave.
It was a pigxogorth (space slug).
