I woke up and saw what app update I had and sure enough, it was this one. :-)
This is definitely gonna be a month of updates for Angry Birds.
Free stuff is cool. I’ll grab it soon. Looks awesome though :)
Not available yet for me in Google Play. Wonder what’s with that. My other updates were always (Fuse and Eggspedition) ready on the first day.
The 0.99 cent version is updated.. the free one on Google Play isn’t as of this post.
That’s the reason! Thanks, now I remember I had to wait a week for the original SW2. Probably another week this time.
now it is
My Angry Birds Star Wars II says on versions that it is 1.2.0, but the app says 1.1.1. Mine is on Amazon Appstore.
Something to play :-)…while I’m still waiting for Rovio to fix AB Seasons for iOS :-(
I think I’ll quit my job and make Angry Birds my new full time job
@Joeyba
Now that made me laugh. Sometimes I feel the same way. Really enjoy flinging birds and now pigs.
Just finished Naboo Invasion with 3-star and cannot wait to start Escape to Tatooine and Battle of Naboo. Have not tried any telepods. SWII is fun to play and does provide a number of new bird and pig attributes.
Finally got it to download. I’ve been trying all day, but the internet connection kept going down in the middle. Now for some fun!
@amslimfordy: if you delete my comments for no reason, I lose the subscription to the post. So could you please sunscribe again when you delete a comment for no reason, or stop deleting my comments for no reason? Thanks.
You mean your comment of “Cool”? Those will certainly be deleted.
Why? I find the new update cool. Someone else wrote “Free stuff is cool. I’ll grab it soon. Looks awesome though :)” and this comment was not deleted.
“Cool” is spammy pointless and completely insignificant.
Some of these levels are really tricky. I always three star them before I do any swaps, but those flying seahorse things are hard to control.
Those are STAP fighters. I’m finding them annoying as well; they have weird physics.
Thanks @spacemaster, how can you tell I haven’t seen a Star Wars movie since they were first released in the 70’s???!!!
Just an educated guess ;)
The STAP Fighters weren’t released until about ’01 so….ya….
Ummm….. STAP Fighters were introduced in Episode 1, in 1999 (they look more like bikes to me)
Yeah, it’s hard to pull them into the right area you want them to go without them blowing up.
To me, using Jar Jar Binks to swing the STAP Fighters make some hilarious results and makes me laugh alot.
Every time someone adds a comment in here, we receive a mail notifying us. Is this a new feature?
No, you must have subscribed to the post. You should see an option to manage your subscriptions below the Comment Entry field.
Ok I’ll check it! Thx .
Weird I did not touch that section.
@AMslimfordy sorry to bother u again. I changed the settings to R but I’m still getting the mails informing me of all comments.. Can u help pls?
Sorry I’ll have to look some other time. A bit busy :(
@amslimfordy –
I don’t know if you or someone else is doing the walkthroughs for this episode but I wanted to see if you felt, like I do, that these two new episodes are significantly more difficult than the previous two.
I can usually at least three star levels without the ABN videos, but I’m finding these new ones pretty tough.
Just curious what you thought.
@playdbird I am finding them more difficult too. There are lots of new things we have to figure out how to control. Those STAP fighters, and the tank things that follow us to shoot. I’m trying to get the hang of making them follow me so they shoot the stuctures.
I’ve finally gotten enough stars so I am trying the porkside for a while. It gives me a rest from the good side.
@kathi17 the tank things are AAT’s. :P
@spacemaster Thanks again!!! :-D
Some are exceptionally hard @PlayDBird.
I have to say some of the pork levels with only Zam Wessel annoyed the heck out of me. I sat for like ten minutes trying to complete one!
I’ve been waiting forever for this update. When ABSW2 just came out, I finished all the levels immediately. So I got overly excited for this update. Now I’m happier than usual. :D
Now I’m excited for the next update! :P
My flick finger is worn out!
Google Play Free app is not updated. Gotta wait for more…
Reminds me of the before time of waiting for Android update with iOS one out.
Mine was available early this morning – only 24 hours late, but who’s counting.
I saw the update this afternoon . I think because the update was launched at the same time worldwide and different countries get the update at different times .
I am happy to pay a few $$$ to indulge my habit !! Yay, updates
Yay, updates! I sure hope I don’t have to wait like the rest of the guys on Google Play. And the STAP fighters seem really annoying, too. Sure hope I learn how to use those.
HUH, an other update and I even completed reward chapter yet. I guess I could spend couple great hours this weekend focusing on all those AB games updated recently.
I have Padme Amidala, Captain Panaka, and Zam Wesell telepods and used them to open their character levels and while Capatain Panaka is useful bird for swaps, Padme Amidala is “so-so” but Zam Wesell is almost zseless in my case. I am so desperately bad in using Zam Wesell (or Jar Jar).
No, Jar Jar Binks is useful in moving guns to shoot at the blocks .
I purchased Captain Panaka telepod permanent before the update came to my PC. And i even got the reward chapter level of Panaka and finished it.
Why do the new episodes only have 66 stars instead of 72?
1 treasure map instead of 2.
So glad to see Padme with her own levels in this update! Hers was the last reward level I needed to earn.
@AngryBirds
‘For those asking about a PC update: that will follow a little later :) #AngryBirdsStarWars2 ‘
Hopefully the PC version comes out soon. Feeling a bit left out when there’s the new Seasons update and now this :/
Oh well, I’m still missing some characters in ABSW2 so now I’ve got time to earn coins to get them…I didn’t even imagine that it would take soooo long to get those coins for the characters. I’ve been buying only the permanent ones so the levels just needs to be palyed again and again and again…
@josm @lisko I think it’s here, mine is updating!
@josm @lisko I don’t know what the update was, but the new levels aren’t there. :-(
Which side do you chose to start the Battle of Naboo ? Bird or Pork ? I chose the bird side .
I chose the bird side as well. :)
However, to anyone who hasn’t chose yet,choose pork side as, at least in my opinion, has easier levels this time around.
Bird side on my phone and pork side on my tab. Pork side is harder!
I always do the bird side first, but I think I like the pork side better.
I agree, and i can understand that someone may find one portion of episode easier or harder, but in my opinion piggies have it easy this time. for example, with three starring all i can without video walkthroughs, my bird side star count was 42 and the pig side had a star count of over 50, around 55, but i’m not bashing anyone’s opinion here
I always chose the bird side.
@amslimfordy I am getting a 66.29 MB update on my PC, so I think it must be out on PC now!
Darn, it doesn’t have the new level. I don’t know what the update was for. :-(
that was the bug fix.. version 1.0.1 was released much earlier.. check the update/bug fix list from this website to know the details in depth
Yes, released november 15th
It’s so disappointing to wait forever for a big file to download over a very slow internet connection, only to find out it wasn’t a real update! I was so excited while it was downloading.
I like playing on the PC because the characters are so big and easy to see.
Quick question… has anyone else lost all their “in game” credits? The points you see at the top right of your screen to purchase characters and power ups after this update?
I had nearly 2000 before, and it zeroed out when I updated.
I did the math with all characters available from just buying tens, the new hope bundle, and free character swaps, and in this update ( if you don’t mess up any character’s point farming ) you can have ALL levels if you don’t buy bird credits! :) (I the bundle with vader, and two anakins because i messed up vader in one the first update, and i can still get all the character levels , but you need every achievement, which includes slinging 10,000 birds)
For this episode…do you start with the Bird side or Pig side?
I don’t have Angry Birds Star Wars II on my tablet (did have it on there for a bit) as I”m going to wait until it comes on the Mac (so that its easier to focus on a big screen like I did with AB Star Wars Original) but first would get Original done before putting that one whenever it comes.
you can choose which side
In the end of Pork Side, it is shown that Darth Maul kills Qui Gon Jinn. Does it mean that in levels which will be coming in the future will not have Qui Gon Jinn ?
Why yes, this means that Qui Gon will NOT be in later updates because:
1: in the movies, Qui Gon does die.
2: Anakin Episode 2 practically has the same power, just a different look.
The reason why they kept Obi Wan after the part in the movies where he dies (episode 4) was because there are only a few noteworthy characters for birds in the original trilogy, but there is a huge range for the prequel trilogy.
Also I still don’t understand why Darth Maul doesn’t die (well sorta) because Obi Wan cuts him in half after he kills Qui Gon.
In the game it is shown that Obi Wan Kenobi just cries beside Qui Gon Jinn.
Now available on PC.
@spacer Thanks for letting us know. I had to open it three times before it prompted me to update, so I wouldn’t have known it was here if it wasn’t for ABN!
Thank you both!! I had been looking for it elsewhere. Just found it. Now this will keep me busy this weekend, and out of the stores!!
Angry Birds Star Wars II is now available for free
Tiny thief update coming!
hello
Im playing on pc in 2022 is there a way of downloading this update?
