With the release of Angry Birds Star Wars just three days away, Rovio has released the official gameplay trailer. The trailer starts of with the Star Wars theme song that we all know and love. It then quickly transitions to showcasing the characters and the worlds they battle in. The gameplay will transport players across the galaxy, from the arid deserts of Tatooine to the dark world of the Death Star itself. Watch out for laser cannons, AT-AT Walkers, Pig Fighters, and much much more. This teaser also gives us the first glimpse at the “Mighty Millennium Falcon”, which takes place of the Mighty Eagle.

The mighty millenium falcon is awesome
The question will now be, how powerful is the millennium falcon? Will it be like mighty eagle or the space eagle?
I really hope the Mighty Millennium Falcon applies to all platforms and not just iOS.
you need to tap on the screen to shoot
How do you know?The game isn’t out yet.
look at the scene of the MMF you can see a violet target icon which made the MMF shoot
I think that the millnnium Falcon will shoot and kill all of the pig in the level
it looks so much fun! cant wait much longer! and the millennium falcon (eagle) looks awesome!
What time are you expecting the game to come out on Thursday?
Haven’t heard, though the Hangout is beginning at 2am Eastern.
The countdown on starwars.angrybirds.com seems to be counting down to noon PST, so that’s my guess.
The release date/time was, until recently, set for Thursday at 1 pm eastern. Tumblr is offline atm.
Oh, I just saw the countdown for the first time now.
It will be at 10:00 CET (Central Europen Time) then.
Can I know were do you see it.!!
http://angrybirds.tumblr.com/
Sorry, I made a mistake. It will be 12:00 noon CET.
They always change the countdown. Now it sais 23 hours left, so it will be out tomorrow at 10am CET.
Same here, keeps changing from 11 to 12 to 10 am
The counter was obviously wrong. Now it has disappeared. Now it sais the game will be out at 8am GMT which will be 9am CET.
The Blues have appeared!They seem to have the same ability,I see.As for yoga,I have seen a picture of him.He does not seem to resemble any bird,though.
yoda might be a new bird, or just something ROVIO added to tumblr to have the full SW affect
I think the second one is most likely.
I know @doodle sandwich has a pic of it
Epic!!! I can’t wait 8 November. Three days to launch!!!
Only 3 days to go, can’t wait!
anybody have a guess on who the orange bird is going to be ?
i don’t think he’s in the game(yet)
I know but what I meant was when he is added
he may not be added, but my guess is he might be ‘Admiral Akbar’, or an ‘Ewok’
same thought for me maybe the ice bird too maybe… ;)
They added orange into facebook levels, so I think, he would be in ep. 1, 2, or 3 as ex. Jar Jar Binks ;).Or maby he would be Yoda?
Then his brain could expand
looks awesome cant wait
WOW simply epic!
Seems as if lasers are an important aspect of the game. They look like they bounce around the screen. Do they target pigs? Do they live forever?
not sure, but they do bounce on just about everything
They bounce on some blocks that are not easily destroyed, like 2-shots-destroy blocks
The theme song is so wacky. much more enjoyable than the original star wars them XD
So excited for this game to come out and the video was. Epic
Awwww, man. The blue birds have the same ability as they usualy do. I do like the strategy they jsed with the red bird (Luke) as they deflected laser with the lightsaber. Can the black (Obi Wan) bird do the same thing with the force?
I agree i wish like all 3 bluebirds could shoot a laser or SOMETHING! Same with Terrence.
I wonder if their will be other CG effects like the Star Destoyer!
Yeah, like Terrence has the ability to throw pigs he hits at other obstacles. Even if the blue birds were bigger I’d be happier.
So cool…Mighty Millenium Falcon looks awesome! AB Star Wars will be an instant must have classic…Can’t wait!
I litterally can’t wait for this my bet it will say in top 5 untill febuary Space is still in top 20!
Top 10 you mean
Game is gonna be super fun!!!!
This is going to be good. :D
Why there is no Leia bird?
there is a leia, the pink bird, she shoots a tractor beam from her eyes. you even get to aim where she shoots it.
is she in this video, becasue I didn’t notice her :)
Please watch this video. Note that this is also the only level we’ve seen that isn’t based on Episode IV.
2 days left.Can’t wait!!!
The new game, it’s backgrounds, the new powers and characters look great. The anticipation of the wait is exciting. It appears there are some interesting new ways of destroying the structures and pigs. Looks like another “first class” game from the folks at Rovio.
The anticipation of waiti is marvellous marketing trick by Rovio, we are counting days and hours until release. Angry birds, Angry Birds Space fans are waiting anxiously. I expect the first class game, which could even be better than AB and ABSp. My favorite game and the greatest SF movie series ever is guarantee of an instant success.
Teasers and this trailer proves it is going to be awesome.
This time Thruseday, I believe I would have it downloaded to my iPad.
And As it is going to be great game, and as Rovio puts much in development I sincerelly hope there wouldn’t be major bugs (hope there wouldn’t be bugs at all).
The anticipation of waiting?
You may be anticipating the game, but I don’t think you’re anticipating the waiting….maybe you are…
@playdbird, I am not naitive English speaker, but as I see meaning of anticipation it is a looking forward for something. I always make fun that I like thruseday the most as it is an anticipation of Friday (and weekend). O.K?
Wonder how to control shooting ability.
after watch video seem is challenging taht ABSp.
Maybe you tap on where to shoot,like lazer bird in ABSP?
Mashable reports that the Android Amazon store is putting the older games on sale and lists the prices AB SW:
http://mashable.com/2012/11/06/amazon-discounts-angry-birds-pre-star-wars/
“Angry Birds Star Wars is going to cost $0.99 in Amazon Appstore for Android, as well as for iOS, other Android phones, and Windows Phone. The HD version, which runs on iPads, Android tablets and the Kindle Fire, as well as Mac, PC and Windows 8, will cost $2.99 at launch.”
Thanks for this info @Dr-Omega. We will include this as a preliminary guess. Nothing personal against your research, we just know how much Rovio likes to change things on us ;)
Nothing personal for me. I’m just reporting that Mashable is reporting it… It SEEMs logical, based on past apps, but I take nothing as locked in stone until it’s released or reported from an official channel (e.g. Facebook, Rovio.com, Twitter, etc.)
I found Count Porkatine! I was in the pause menu of Chrome and he was hidden on an ad for the Google+ Hangout tomorrow. http://angrybir.de/SLFn7p
If its supposed to be Palpatine, then he would be Emperor Porkatine not Count.
Oh ya. I need to re-watch the movies…
Btw I am Doodle Sandwich not logged in on my phone
Cool! So he is the king pig in the game!:D Maybe is the final boss
Pigperor Palpapork :D
Hey friends, only 38 hours to launch! I am very impatient
In Mexico will be at 12:00 p.m.
I will be in the school when the game finally launch:(
How many Levels and Episodes will we See for the First Update? What do you think about??
I think: Tatooine, Deth Star, Hoth and in space. Mayby the Cloud City too.
O, levels mayby 30 or 50 (it would be great!!!!!!!!) in one episode. I hope it won’t be only 20/30 levels like normally ;)
I’m thinking for the game’s launch the content would consist of the complete story of the first movie, along with the Hoth section from The Empire Strikes Back.
I think Rovio could do a really fun episode with the bar/cantina scene from the original Star Wars.
I think there is more than one episode, likely 2 or 3, with a totally of 60-90 levels to start. // cant wait
I just wonder how will iTunes Store and Google Play function tommorow when all people try to get application at the same time, possibly immediately at launch time. Everybody wants to be first to play.
Hopefully it can handle the traffic, it would be disappointing if both sites go down!
ugh! can’t wait another day!
Slim mentioned the Hangout (on Google) above, which starts at 11 pm Pacific Time (maybe).
Peter Vesterbacka is in San Francisco now, with several other Rovio execs (maybe even 160); LucasFilms is in Sausalito (?), at any rate, very close to San Fran. Sounds like the official launch will take place at LucasFilms. I think the game will be released at 12:01am Pacific Time on 11/8. This info is my read of the tea-leaves above and from Vesterbacka’s twitter feed. I was hoping the launch would be in LA, but maybe there will be a special event here later.
Hey, would you expect a single one-time code of the game tweeted by Rovio at midnight like they just did eith Bad Piggies?
Well, if they do, I’m not falling for it this time. I forget the exact number, but for Bad Piggies <10 people in the entire world got code. You had a better chance winning the mega-millions lottery.
I spent around 5 hours on Twitter, but it paid off and I got one. :)
The countdown counter on Angry Birds Star Wars shows less than 3 hours until launch – I’m in Australia & it’s 7am on the 8th here now but in 3 hours it will still be the 7th in many parts of the world – do we think this countdown is correct?? I was expecting it very early on the morning of the 9th here – any other Aussies out there who have worked out the time difference & when it will land?? Little bit excited as you can tell lol….
I’m not from Australia, but it should release the same time everywhere. My counter says 21 hours, so it should be roughly 4:00 AM Sydney time (tomorrow)
Thanks…that’s what I thought…but I wonder why my counter shows less than 3 hours to go & not 21 hours??
Now there is no counter any more.
I think that the site is set for a certain time zone regardless of what time zone you are visiting the site from. I think that is why there have been so many different times reported. I would guess that @oobgular17 is probably correct about the time it will release there if it is an universally simultaneous release.
That can’t be true. A countdown is independent from a time zone. “in 23 hours” means “in 23 hours” worldwide, no matter in what time zone you are.
Hello cris : are you there. Little question ; I live in San Francisco ,Ca. USA . I am thinking that ;maybe this game will be available by 12:01 PT . a.m. So , that will be on the next 3 hours and 08 minutes . Right ; or I am wrong!!!!!
Hi @nacho18: from now it will be 2 hours, then it will be out. Enjoy the new game!
Just visited angrybirds.com/starwars and the counter disappeared and now reads 8 AM GMT. So whatever time that would be in your time zone should be the universal release time.
Yes just saw that the counter has changed….means the 9th for us in Australia….oh well, at least I’ll get some work done today hehe…
These time zones confuse me so i did a google search for GMT to CST (Central Standard Time)….8am GMT is 2am CST. If the countdown is accurate, then thats less than 10 hours away. YAY! I’m so excited.
Here is the link if you want to see what time it will be in your time zone:
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/to/
Whoo-hoo! It comes out at three am in EST. I’ll be waiting :D
just keep in mind that it may not be there exactly at 3, or even within the hour…AMslimfordy got barraged by so many angry ppl the night of AB Space’s release when the app didn’t come out for another hour and a half or so after the announced time(it too was announced for 3am EST).
but yes, i will be up til 3 (or 4, whatever it may be) too! Gotta kill a couple TUSKen raiders before i go to sleep haha
Me either.
