The Angry Birds Star Wars Hoth update (v1.1.0) is now available for iOS, PC, Mac, and Android via Google Play and the Amazon Appstore. This is the first major update to Angry Birds Star Wars, which was released only a few short weeks ago (this update was teased just yesterday).
After destroying the Death Star, the Rebel Avian Alliance moved its base to the ice planet of Hoth (they later regret this decision, as it’s rather cold). Weary from defeat and hungry for a victory the Imperial Pigs have dispatched probe droids to nearby planets with of hope of discovering the location of the rebel base. Let the battle begin!
This update includes:
- 20 icy levels! Only a partial release, with the remaining 20 levels being distributed in future update(s). Our Hoth walkthrough videos are live if you need help.
- Princess Leia! The damsel in distress first appears in Level 3-3, and features a tractor beam to pull heavy items. Officially, it is called a “gravitational field disruptor”. Note that this can be activated from any distance, which makes it extremely powerful.
- Two new Bonus Levels! There is one new Droid and one new “Star” level. Note that the Star level is unlocked at 385 stars. Also, if you are already beyond that threshold, it should unlock as soon as you earn 1 star on 3-1. See our Complete Droids and Bonus Levels Guide if you need help unlocking or 3-starring any Droid or “Star” bonus levels.
- One new achievement for iOS.
- Six new characters to unlock. We will be updating our list as soon as we can.
Thanks to all of you who has helped us with this update! Truly amazing group of players and fans.

Angry birds Star Wars version 1.1 for iOS out now. :)
Yes! 20 new levels!
With some more comming soon @iammighty ?
Yup 20 more coming soon… I just love how hoth looks, the blizzard is awesome…
@witeek 10 more levels are under the Coming Soon banner.
That’s true, but you can swipe to find two pages of locked levels, so eventually there will be forty Hoth levels, just like the others.
Two bonus levels, one for number of stars (365/385) and 1 Golden Droid level. There is also, as of now, 1 new achievement called “Fatal Attraction,” for lifting 500 blocks with Leia’s gravitational field disruptor, and a second character page, with six new silhouettes.
One note: for iOS, it hasn’t hit the update page, as of this post, but if you go into another section of the app store, and do a search, you should find it readily enough.
Make that star level number just 385, rather than what I listed above. That’s a sign that I shoulda gone back to sleep!
2 new bonus levels, 1 new achievement.
Not for Android? Aww….
Yet @angrybirdslover119 … yet :D
@angrybirdslover119: We’re still waiting for the PC update, too…
See new golden droids?
Two more droids as far as I can tell.
Leia bird?
Any new pigs or bosses?
No, only one.
And we’re now seeing Stella as Leia, using that “GFD Device” the same way as the bubbles back in Seasons: pulling out any structure from its foundations. Only difference: First objects touched would be pulled, but she doesn’t have to be near the said objects for the device’s beam to work. Let’s say it’s sort of like the opposite of Obi Wan’s (Bomb’s) Force, which repels objects away.
Updated and played through levels! Warning: Final level is EXTREMELY difficult.
Yes? Good for you :-D
I hope soon on other platforms
Made it. 6 or 7 tries. How many tries it taked to you to finish it?
It’s now out on Google Play for Android. Downloading as I type. Can’t wait to see the new levels.
Yep, downloading it too :-D
I’m glad they made the Pink bird (Leia) more useful in this game!
You’ll definitely like her new power.
fantastic update!!! but IMO Hoth is harder than Death Star
I have to agree, it gets harder and harder… Pink bird is also hard to master!
A lot of the levels involve pulling out the pig-troopers’ legs, like Luke did in the movies
Looks like Luke is going to be “star bird” of this episode.
If it is harder then DS then it is going to be real chalenge to three stared and get above average. IMO Death Star was even harder then POTJ.
Easier then DS and POTJ, maybe harder then Tatooine. I like episode but I think that Rovio could make some better balance between ground and space levels. I expect that space levels will dominate in next updates like ground levels dominazed in this one. i am actually very courious about space levels they are allways more challenge for me.
They made the menu buttons bigger on android tablets when using the free version.
Hey @Slim, what update did the “Daily Eagle” show up in Space. It wasn’t Fry Me to the Moon it was Utopia right?
What I’m getting at is that we shouldn’t have expected it with this update.
I don’t recall specifically. Sorry.
Version 1.1.0. I believe that was Fry Me to the Moon.
Head here for 3* minimum reporting until Slim/Sal/BL have the walkthroughs up.

Did you get the droid?
Ok clever people, who knows how to hit the droid in Level #17?
I DO! I DO!
Ok @amslimfordy, maybe I should rephrase my question . . . How do we hit the droid in Level #17, oh clever one !!???!!!
Ricochet Han’s blaster off the top mini tower, way above the AT-AT.
That is actually what I have been doing, just not successfully. But you give me hope, oh, mighty one, I’ll keep blasting. Thanks.
My laser shoots the tower apart – what’s the secret?
We will be uploading our vids shortly. I’ll get that post ready now.
When I watched the vide on how to get that droid egg I got really mad because it looked an impossible shot and I freaked out when I got it on the first try!!!!!
Note – I haven’t even opened Hoth yet, but the first time I completed today’s challenge level(Tat 1-20), it awarded me the next bonus level for 385 stars.
Ok, so you just need to earn a star somewhere to get the prompt. Good to know. This shouldn’t really be an issue :)
not sure if this is new or not, but when you tap character in the character list, it makes a sound
Some of them have multiple sounds.
Yay! Time to put my new Android Tablet to good use!
I want it! I want it! I want it now!!.
Enfin un tableau raccord avec la saison ! A paris il commence à faire frisquet. L’hiver pointe son nez. Demain matin je descendrai quelques cochons bien au chaud dans le métro.
Ce soir j’ai la flemme de penser en anglais et donc d’écrire dans la même langue.
Bonsoir a toutes et tous
Je suis heureux d’entendre que vous apprécierez cette mise à jour.
Update came with first storm of snow in Montreal! Just in time! brrrr
@AMSlimfordy — I think there is a limit to the range of Leia’s power: if you tap too far away, you get a pink puff (probably at the limit) and nothing happens.
@mvnla2, I think that happens when you miss the target.
Once again, Amazon is at least a day behind on updates. I should have bought ABSW from Google Play. I can switch on my phone (no choice on Kindle Fire), but will give it a few more days. I still have Path Of Jedi levels remaining to 3-star.
out for PC
Thanks @josm! Downloading now… :D
:V
Da name, it burnz
(because the name is “hot”, but the planet itself is MADE OUTTA ICE)
Gotta say I think the AT-ATs are kinda cute. I guess it was on another page that someone made the comparison to Bambi, which is even more obvious after you play with them a bit. Almost (but not quite) hate to destroy them. I think they were enslaved by the evil pigs.
I am not seeing the hoth update for pc! anyone else having this issue?
If you aren’t seeing it from the auto-updater, you can go to download.angrybirds.com and click “Download Demo”.
Thanks for the reply. I got it in the intel app store, so when I download it from rovios site, I don’t have the key. I guess I have to wait for the app up store to update it.
Ah, ok. I understand now.
Am I losing my mind or is it not out on Amazon yet? Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.
We did not include Amazon in the available platforms in the post.
Thank you. This is new for me. I see what you are talking about.
@jen120 Amazon believes strongly in “patience is a virtue”. I thought since ABSW was new the updates would be more timely, but I was wrong again. I have switched all except ABSW and ABR to Google Play. Unfortunately, I do not have a choice on my Kindle Fire. I guess it is such a small part of their business they take their time on the approval or rejection of the Angry Birds updates. They normally don’t release updates until after 5 PM EST, so there is a small chance today yet.
@oldmanbird Now I know. I will switch all except Star Wars since I’ve 3-starred in all levels and I am not wanting to do that again. Since I am new to Angry Birds, I haven’t progressed far enough in any of the other games so switching to Google play won’t be much of an issue!! Thanks :)
@jen120 There is a program called Angry Backup on Google Play developed by Play And Dev (formerly known as Pierrick O’Murphy) that will back up all five AB games. It definitely has saved me on my phone numerous times. Supposedly, it will also back up the HD versions, but I haven’t had time to verify that yet. It covered me when I switched ABO, ABS and ABSp. I like Amazon, but timely AB updates has not been there strong suit as of late.
Very cool and hard Levels :-)
From the video and posts the Hoth Level looks like a lot of fun and cannot wait to start playing.
Mmm, my PC version has a gigantic padlock on Planet Hoth at Chapter Selection Screen. I’ve also checked the software version is 1.1.0 after the update (which supposed to be correct). Someone else experiencing this? Is there any minimum number of stars (or other) required to unlock this episode? Do i need to find the gigantic key for the gigantic padlock? Okay, scrap the last question… :(
You must finish Deth Star. If you have already done so, try re-defeating 2-40.
Now, that explains it. I’m still working in very early levels of Planet Tattoine. That makes sense. Deathstar Space Station also have a padlock on in my game. We’ve got a long way to go before The Hothie opens up then LOL. Thanks, Slim… ;)
@amslimfordy, i found that completing Tattoine Episode unlocks both Deathstar and Hoth Episode. Maybe you can confirm this… :)
Just watched Star Wars episode V, which starts on Hoth. It’s been a long while since I’ve seen it, so I didn’t remember a lot:
Those ugly black things that are floating are droids sent by the Empire to find out where the Rebellion is located. The AT-AT walkers in the movie are totally ugly, while I think the ones in ABSW are cute. Luke goes to Dag-whatever and meets Yoda; he also finds out that Darth Vader is his father.
LOL, @mvnla. 5-second quiz. Dagobah!!
Any word on the both update for windows phone 8? Eagerly anticipating its arrival.
Many thanks.
@jen120 The Amazon update for the phone has finally appeared. Three days is not too bad. Not sure about Kindle Fire yet.
Thanks so much!! Just got it! I’m excited to play.
Update from Amazon for my Kindle Fire, YAY!!
ABSW updated this morning on my Kindle Fire to v 1.1.1 Must be some bug fixes?
