Our strategy for Angry Birds Star Wars Death Star level 2-40 is all about timing. Wait for the initial three Tie-Pigs to move in then when they are below the top platform, fire Luke up and destroy the platform with his lightsaber, dropping the blocks onto the pigs below. Wait for the next wave, which includes two normal Tie-Pigs and a Tie-Vader and blast them with Obi-Wan.

New Event – Cyclonus
This one was fun and reminiscent of Rio, the episode with all the crates falling out the back of the plane, Smuggler’s Plane, I think.
yes the very same :)
This one is driving me CRAZY!!! Patience level lacking for me!!! UGH!
All I can advise is to stop for a while have a break, do something else for an hour or so-not play games!-and then come back to it. Has worked for me on some of the more taxing levels-including this one!
If you want something REALLY to drive you nuts, try getting the golden droid at Death Star 2-18!!!
I feel your pain. ;-)
81820 on a 2-birder, Obi-bomb on a Force push to clear the last two oinkfighters plus the imperial oinkfighter. Now back to 2-10 to get my last star onDS….
this is the best level of the Angry Birds Star Wars !!
hats off to ROVIO for developing such a game \m/
I agree, rhis is one of the best levels in whole game. it is full of action and I should replay it.
you definitely should :)
i mean these god gifted cute creatures look so darn good on a cute li’l spaceship :P
lol !!
and plus the background music so reminded me of the original STAR WARS :’)
86,280 – pretty much like the video. Be patient, and use the bricks/blocks falling from above to take out the bad guys.
It’s a long shot, and requires a good shot and LOTS of luck – but I believe this level CAN be 1 birded.
After clearing all 3 oink fighters, both pigs on platforms, both stationary platforms and the 1st mobile platform, the next 2+vader oink fighters moved in along with the last moving platform with the red lights.
As they moved in 1 oink fighter succumbed to a piece of debris from one of the other platforms – then, as I was wondering what to do with Obi-Bomb darth-oink collided with the remaining platform, leaving one oink fighter and a damaged platform.
I think that, like DZ-4 in AB:Sp, with lots and LOTS of patience, this COULD be 1 birded!
1-Birded? Really! I’m not sure how that could be pulled off.
Someone in Rovio.. remembered the long lost days of AB: Rio.. up against Nigel.. this one is definitely based solely on timing, and lots of luck!
81K using the same strat as posted!.. but it was fun.
SW DS 2-40, 91250 “One Birdie Kill”.. Yes!!..
This is a true story so help me Angry Birds!..
Intrigued by the possible “One Birdie Kill” mentioned by @CmdrBond in his earlier post, I decided to gave it several goes, as usual nothing happened even after an hour’s wait! Often, like we always do I decided to give it one more try before moving on but this time I asked the Angry Bird Gods for a favour, just one more time.
Well, while reading some “live” comments at ABN, suddenly my iPhone’s screen went black reminding me of my “old” Angry Birds Rio Smugglers Plane Walkthrough Level 10-15. That was some day, perhaps a few remember it ?
Yes the “One Birdie Kill” is back just like it was in the AB Rio’s Cargo Plane!! Drinks are on me!!..
My two screenshots show the 1st and only shot’s trajectory which has a 8-10 second delay after the level start to allow the upper damage (debris) when sliced by Luke to ideally fall and hit the lower TNT when more favourably aligned for max collateral damage to all things below. The other screenshot is 2-40’s new “High Score” for what its worth.
Have fun “shooters”!. @CmdrBond – Thanks for the motivation, keep it coming! Marc..

I should have read all the posts before I posted mine above this one. That’s a fantastic score in the first picture but doesn’t help as fas as strategy is concerned. The second picture obviously is a 2 bird attempt. After all those points from Luke (83,050), I would have expected your score to be greater than 92,000. My problem when I have a situation like that is that I manage to screw up the rest of the level. I hope that didn’t happen to you.
@marc987 I’m confused as Usual lol..what do you mean by three screen went black..are you talking partial self destruction? Seeing as it seems a 2 screen level with the scrolling and all..im not understanding the one birder, like you i am always intrigued when i hear 1 birder and the challenge tempts me..but after trying this level just the regular shot on my own way..then reading comments here..i am wicked confused..anyway you coul leave some helpful hints..i don’t remember the rio level it’s been a while.ty for help if you can;)
I’m wondering how long it takes for the last fighters to “self destruct” I was only able to get one to crash and burn after I made the first shot but the last two never went down. I’ve noticed those that actually got the 1 birdie haven’t replied as to how long it takes approximately for it to happen. Just wondering if its like the others and takes hours to complete? @marc987 do you remember how long it took for the self destruct??
I’ve waited up to 15 minutes @ Kimmiecv the most I’ve seen is one cement block fall:(
None will say how long it takes
@bluevertigo any helpful hints are welcome :) thanks
@Kathy I have noticed many asking an approximate time on the self destruct and none of them have come back with any info on a timeline. I’m not sure if they just played SW and haven’t come back to the Nest or if they just don’t know?! Hopefully some of the more detail oriented players will hit it and help the rest of us out?! I’m not even close to the end yet so it’ll be a while before I can try it and maybe come up with an answer. :)
Well @Kimmiecv i know @bluevertigo is usually very helpful so I’ve put out my cry lol
We’ll just have to sit back and hope meantime I’m finishing up a few loose ends hope you’re fathers day party went well:)
@kathy and @kimmiecv I was messing around with the level again and I did remember one other tip. Make sure the floating pig is close to the top pig when you launch.
Awesome!! Thanks for the Tip @bluevertigo! I figure by the time we finish up here you’ll be back at the top!! LOL At least the newbe got a couple minutes of fame!! Heehee :D
Lol @bluevertigo we dragged you back in haha sorry..thanks for the tip;)
Sorry for taking so long to reply, but if I remember correctly, I did wait a long time on previous tries. For some reason on the try that got me top score it only took a few minutes. Sorry I cant remember all the details.
Cool thanks @bluevertigo, figures its a typical finicky self destruct level. Looks like your going to be busy knocking the new peep off the number 1 perch! Good luck, my money’s on you taking that spot again! ;)
Yeah @kimmiecv that user stole my thunder. I was hoping to get to 20 Million first!
Thanks @bluevertigo for the reply:) good luck on getting back Up there sure you’ll have no problem;) i lost my patience but i did get one oinker to self destruct;)
@Kimmiecv @kathy — This is not listed as either self-destroying or unstable, because it doesn’t meet the criteria. However, I believe that what @marc987 is saying is that it take 1hr to get a 1-birder after the first shot. Good Luck (and lots of patience)/
Ok Thanks for the info @mvnla2 :) Ugh 1 hour (at least I bet) for a killer score. Good luck if you try it KitKat, let us know how it goes and if it takes that long or longer. Parties going great! :)
Oooh :O did that person get 20 mil then @bluevertigo or are you still in the running for it? Bummer if it got there first :/ especially as it just started putting scores in! However if it did your right on it’s tail!!! :)
Should have checked first! Sorry it got there first @bluevertigo especially as you were wicked close!! That bites bacon bits!! :( but you can still get back up to #1 player in SW!! :) That’s something to be proud of!!!
Thanks for the vote of confidence @kimmiecv I will see what these new levels have in store.
Indeed I do remember @marc987, that was some very clever investigative work you did there! I just started Star Wars, and when I opened this level, I thought, darn this looks familiar, I wonder! Sure enough, there was was your post here in the comments.
I started the level last night so that it looked almost exactly like your screenshot, then set it aside while I watched a movie. Stll no collision at the end, so I put on my PJs and went to bed with the level still running. Seven hours later, only one of the fighters is gone.
The Rio level took me a few nights to get too, so I will keep trying. Thanks for your post!
Finally got a one-birder.
The key is drop the blocks from the top platform onto the moving platform with the Keke pig (moustache).
Try to catch as many blocks as you can (it helps if Luke knocks Keke off first). If you catch two layers of blocks, the fighters are more likely to collide with the topmost blocks.
Then, just wait until the blocks fall off the platform as it turns left and right. Hopefully, they fall one by one and hit the fighters.
Debris from an exploding fighter can take out any other pigs nearby. So theoretically, one lucky block is enough to wipe out the entire second wave of attackers (2 fighters and Vader). But the more you start with, the better your chances.
I was a little disappointed that when finishing the level 3 stars, that they had an annimatin of the Death Star exploding. The pictures were good, but an explosion would have been over the top. My 2¢
That was supposed to read: I was a little disappointed that when finishing the Death Star episode with 3 stars per level, that they didn’t have an annimatin of the Death Star exploding. The pictures were good, but an explosion would have been over the top. My 2¢
@ohforfive
My previous high score of 83050 is what is shown. What you see in the screenshot is the trajectory of the first shot that took out the 3 oink fighters, both pigs, the all important TNT and bits and pieces of plat forms that was worth 35990. It took time for me to finally work out and perfect this 8-10 second window to achieve the mass distruction that is shown.
If you read the post from @CmdrBond he touches upon the subject of a 1 birdie and wrote, “with lots and LOTS of patience, this COULD be 1 birded!”. Well, he was right and I thanked him for his motivation.
Perhaps its not clear to you, please understand that the remaining 2 oink fighters and Obi-Bomb Darth oink collided with each other and self destructed. That’s why in the other screenshot with the 91250, it shows in the background the remaining 4 pigs disguised in their Star Wars uniforms on the jet. Thanks to them I scored the additional 40k. And, yes I love each and every point they gave me.
Perhaps all is clear now, give it a try and who knows, perhaps you too will have a good laugh. I hope so.. thx
PS If I can help you any more please post..
Thanks for the clarification. I’ll give it a go tomorrow, I’m a bit burned out from polishing off Death Star and the Droid levels. I’ll let you know how I do but I will try it.
@marc987 — Did you mention how long it takes? If so, I haven’t seen it.
Ah, the memories of AB Rio against Nigel.
1st bird (Luke): I didn’t took the lob as in Slim’s video. Instead, I shot him straight into the moustache Imperial when the Oink Fighters are closely packed enough. Activated the (blue) lightsabre just on impact to clear the centre.
2nd bird (Obi-Wan): After the second wave settled, I shot him into the lower left platform, and activated the Force upwards, about 1 o’clock. The debris flew just right, onto the Oink Fighters and the TNT.
3rd bird (Chewie): 10k.
4th bird (Han): 10k.
5th bird (Rebels): 10k.
Total score: 85,430, 3-star. Not bad from a mediocre shooter. :P
Got a one bird high score of 95110!. Started by aiming on the highest floating pile and waited until pig floating on grey rocks was below it. Then launch luke and destroy both with sabre. After Luke score was around 36k and then just waited for the remaining three fighters to self destruct like Marc said. I have tried this many many times first getting just one fighter to self explode then two and FINALLY got all three fighters together :).
thanks @petrit68 I used the same strat….everything was destroyed except that top slanted plank.
How long before the last pigs self destructed?
one bird did work for me, score of 85400. looks like more luck than skill but it did work…basically i waited until the first three tie-pigs were under the platform, use luke on the platform and let the pieces fall, taking out all enemies and hopefully hitting the tnt…what happened with me was the middle platform didn’t get destroyed and the other tie-pigs plus darth-pig floated in and started bumping into the middle platform. it’s one of the things i have always liked about the whole angry birds thing…even after a shot that doesn’t seem to do much, if you wait sometimes a tower will start to wobble and wobble and eventually fall over finishing the job.
on to try jedi path now…
Score: 89 250
followed this strategy, but i got lucky and win this level with just one bird
i just finished tatooine and death star all 3 starred, and the path of the jedi levels ddnt unlock. anyone know y?
Path of the Jedi is an in-app purchase. You can read more about it on the first walkthrough page.
Hoth levels are also needed to be 3-starred as of v1.1.0.
I think all levels need to be three starred now that new updates have arrived
almost a one birder. just keep restarting till the mustached pig hits the dynamite on his own. with luck it will clear the screen, leaving only three ties and vader. i had a shot with luke to take out all four with the shot like the video…but the tie wing bounced off vader and didn’t kill him. with luck it would be quite possible, i think…but i am so frustrated at this level i better not try it. not yet anyway.
This doesn’t work with AB Star Wars Facebook!!! The order of the birds is different and you can’t do some things I’ve seen here on Facebook! Can anyone post a video from Facebook? Thanks!
Why are you yelling at us @livingny?
Yelling is when its ALL CAPITALS… I’m not yelling… I’m surprised!
@livingny i got 3 stars. finally. unlike the platform versions, there is very little, if any, variations between the pigs flights when you restart. here’s what i did for facebook. be warned, it takes a LOT of luck. fire Luke so he goes just OVER the first tie pig. ignite saber so he takes out the two ties and the mustached pig. the luck comes in here. if you’re very lucky, and it took me about 30 tries to get this, the debris will set off the tnt, taking out all the pigs on the level and most of the hoverpads. hold han at a 35 to 45 degree angle, launch about 2 seconds after the last two fighters show up. you should be able to blaster them both and hit the steel angled bit at the top right. i got 82,800 with this. hope this helps you some.
later, when i am calmed down, i will TRY to record a video of it and post it on youtube for ya. if i can do that, i will reply to you again, with the link.
Awesome! Thanks JackS! I will work on this in the meantime…
One other thing I have noticed in facebook, if Luke destroys the platform the blocks will stay in mid-air. They only fall if he also clips the bottom-left one with his sabre.
I am with @livingny….on all other platforms you could take out the top hoverpad with the saber…which is the key to high scoring. no matter how i try, it just destroys one or two bricks and the platform stays. we need a 3 star facebook video just for this level. I have noticed some of the other levels have different physics on facebook too.
Here is how I got 3 stars on FB (score is 83,290) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14qU-aHo54I
Thanks for the video Kane! I’m working on it still but when I took that first shot… my bird got the first tie pig BUT bounced on and off that second tie pig next to it!!! Can you believe that? Some of these levels Facebook is VERY different! I’m going to keep working though…
87510 w/2 Birds.
I used the same strategy as in video. As the description says, this level is all about timing. I couldn’t get one-birder. But I got my highscore of 87k, by destroying all the platforms on the left side, (where the pigs & blocks are placed) with first bird. Scores of 85k+ with two birds is only possible, if you destroy them.
hey how come the order i get with my birds on this level goes luke – han-chewey-x-wings-obi whats the deal
Which device r u using?
This level, with the somewhat glitchy one-birder solution, is one of the most boring thing in all the AB saga, which I would rank somewhere between Moon of Endor 5-20 (30 hours for the badge) and AB Space Pig Dipper 6-14 (10 to 15 minutes). Fortunately, the first shot remains an interesting one.
LOL ~ so true @sglouk
This level definitely requires patience. I only came back to it to try and better my score above the average. Fortunately it didn’t take all that long.
