All you Angry Birds Star Wars fans don’t have long to wait as the much anticipated Hoth update is due out tomorrow, November 29th, 2012. To promote the forthcoming update Rovio created the funny teaser video above, which shows a not-quite-as-menacing AT-AT (Pig?) Walker having some trouble keeping his grip on one of Hoth’s icy lakes.
At the moment, details about what will actually be included in this update are sparse, but here are a few ideas:
- The pink bird will make her first appearance as Princess Leia. Rovio has said her power will be a “GFD Device”, but I’m not entirely sure what that is.
- Probably will include 10 to 20 new levels, which you’ll be able to find walkthroughs for here.
- Maybe one more Golden Droid level. If you haven’t yet unlocked the existing ones be sure to check our our Complete Star Wars Golden Droids & Bonus Level Guide.
hoth update gonna land very very soon….”Proof that piggies should not be allowed behind the controls of an AT-AT walker.
Hoth will be our first free episode for Angry Birds Star Wars. Available to download very, very soon!”

Thanks for the info! Possibly tomorrow?
New Hoth episode available to download in #AngryBirdsStarWars from Nov 29. Sneak peek. Tweet by Angry Birds! :D
first time the tell an date for an update :)
Awesome. We will be ready.
haha cool avatar :)
Love your merry new avatar!
OMG, that is great, although unexpectedly too soon. Who can cope with so many updates?
”available starting from November 29” that means we get 10 or 20 levels, not all the levels in one time
@amslimfordy yup… tomorrow absolutely sure
Nice weekend coming ahead, first ABSW updates and then season updates on saturday. Yay!
Can’t agree with u more.
Rovio is very generous with free updates. They’re going to spoil us completely. Our expectations for 2013. are great.
@Duffy is going to have to expand the AB addicts’ wing at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab!
i LOLed when saw this video! i’m surprised of ROVIO giving out a release date
I am excited. This will be the first time in a while that I have been behind on 3-starring. Two devices. Phone Still have Path Of Jedi to complete and soon Winterwonderham and ABSW Hoth. Tablet all of ABSW to complete. I wish there was a job that entailed only playing Angry Birds, I would be in heaven.
This was my closest to 3-starring all levels before an update, missing only Death Star 2-10.
… and then I got the last star! First time 3-starring all initial release levels of an AB game. :D
@brave1996 Congratulations on 3-starring ABSW. ABSW has been the most difficult for me, however, it is also the most fun. I have had to refer to the walkthroughs more than ABS, ABO, ABSp or ABR. I like more challenging levels it makes the game last longer.
Well that was fast.
Angry Birds turns 3 on December 11th! Seasons update most likely on December 1st, and this update tomorrow. We are in store for a whole bunch of updates!
I wonder if we’ll get Birdday Party 2?
I don’t think so. It doesn’t make sense logically. Chapter 19 was already claimed by the “Bad Piggies” episode, as are Chapters 20 and 21 which are yet to come.
In theory, couldn’t they add levels 15-30 to the existing Birdday Party? Rovio has been known to suprise us. I really enjoyed the Birdday Party levels. Logically though, the remaining Bad Piggies levels would appear next.
Yes, Rovio could pull a fast one like that, but I would sooner expect more BP levels.
Woohoo! Can’t wait!
There is an option to unlock Path of the Jedi for free if you 3-star all levels in the game (meaning Tatooine and Death Star since there are no more levels). Will it stay this way? Or will we have to 3-star the Hoth levels too? Hope this option will be still available in the update.
You would have to 3-star all available levels.
If anybody else here has seen Bambi, this rings a bell.
I wonder if that’s the Disney connection at work already? It’s been a while since I’ve seen Bambi, but I think you’re right.
Where?
Yes, what a coincidence! I haven’t seen the movie Bambi for a long time, and this makes me remember that scene.
Just in time, I only have a few levels of Jedi left and I would have been done.
Hmm…I wonder what the character page would look like in this update. Will the new characters be Leia, Snow troopers, AT-AT walkers, and maybe something else? Only one way to find out!!!
The new planet must also be on the character page. And maybe they already add placeholders for the icons for 3 staring and falconing the episode.
I thought the Pink Bird power was tractor beam as seen in some of the AB Star Wars teaser videos…maybe?
Perhaps that’s what they mean, but we are all pretty confused now.
Could GFD stand for Gravity Force Detenator? Just a wild guess. Any other guesses what it might stand for?
How about Gravity Force Disruptor?
You’re close – gravitational field disruptor:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gravitational_field_disruptor
@Playdbird — Is your new avatar supposed to be Christmassy? I don’t get the link.
Now the avatar is Christmassy – the other was not.
The link does not work for you?
It takes you to a wiki page which describes what the GFD is – a gravitational field disruptor, which seems to be what Pink Bird Leia used in the previous video of game play footage.
@PlaydBird — Poor choice of words on my part. I meant the link between your avatar and Christmas. Will have to check this one (avatar) out.
@play D Bird thanks for the clarification….I thought it had something to do with a pulling force as opposed to Bomb Birds pushing force since Leia is strong with the Force as well.
Awesome I can’t wait sooooo excited this is gonna b awesome
The AT-AT walker is indeed a pig, and this update looks awesome! I thought we might get more comics too, but oh well! I wonder what the next one will be like… Maybe where they fly into that giant monster. I haven’t seen the movies in a while, so I forgot where they go next.
Now that video was funny, this SW game is great!!!
I think there’s something else dats gonna happen in hoth birds and Princess Leia will meet especially wen Han Solo meets her
What a big surprise for me. A string of updates coming this week! Love it, and good job by Rovio!!
Nice Teasor Video. Can’t wait to See Pinky in Star Wars. Yeeeeah
What a cool trailer. what was that jump? Axel? Not very well performed whatever. Oh my, those people in Rovio have great sense of humor.
Anyone else find they have to pay for this free update? I have no money in the acc I use to pay for stuff like this and it says the payment method is declined I’ve even deleted the app and it’s still saying I have to pay
This is a completely free update. No strings attached. You may want to contact your app store.
Why do so many of the pig troopers in ABSW carry forks around with them? I’ve seen them in a lot of the levels – there are no eggs, so what is the significance of the forks???
Truthfully, I think that is a bit of an homage to the other AB apps. After all, you can’t eat eggs without a fork!
