With the release of Angry Birds Star Wars II comes incredible responsibility… To remember all of the characters, that is. As Yoda would say, “Do or do not, there is no try.” The purpose of this guide is to provide you a one-stop reference to all playable characters found in Angry Birds Star Wars II. We put names to faces, explain their abilities, and hopefully answer a few questions along the way. Be sure to use the quick links below to jump between the Bird Side and the Pork Side.
Bird Side
Qui-Gon JinnLightsaber, Single-Swipe
Qui-Gon Jinn features a single swipe of a lightsaber. While not the most powerful, it is effective enough to slice through chains and wooden blocks with ease.
Obi-Wan KenobiDirectional Force Push
Obi-Wan Kenobi is strong with the Force. His ability features a single strong push directed by the user.
YodaLightsaber Spin
Yoda features a lightsaber spin attack, causing him to pinball around the level for several seconds. The ability must be activated manually before contact.
Jar Jar BinksTongue Swing
Jar Jar Binks can use his tongue to grab nearby objects and swing via his tongue. Aiming his tongue is done manually by the user, as is releasing his tongue upon a second tap/click.
Anakin Skywalker, Episode I (Podracer)Podracer
Anakin features a aloud racer, which can be directed in a relatively straight line toward a user-selected direction. Anakin himself will trail behind, swinging into blocks.
Captain Panaka Blaster, Two Triple-Shots
Captain Panaka carries a special laser blaster which fires a spray of three lasers at a time. He fires twice in quick succession, for a total of six lasers.
Padme Amidala Gravity Push
Padme Amidala features a tractor beam capable of pushing large objects. The direction of the beam is user-controlled with nearly-unlimited range.
Anakin, Episode II (Padawan)Lightsaber, Single-Swipe
Anakin now wields a basic, single-swipe lightsaber while he assumes his role as a Jedi Apprentice. He is not particularly powerful, but can still slice through wooden blocks cleanly.
Jedi YounglingTriple Split
As is to be expected, the Blue Bird assumes the role of a Jedi Initiate. While Force-sensitive, Jedi Youngling can only attack by splitting into three Younglings.
Mace WinduBoomerang Lightsaber
Mace Windu wields a boomerang lightsaber capable of slicing through large quantities of chains and blocks. It has an extremely far range and is only destructible by permanent items, such as land.
Chewbacca (*)Earthquake
Our fantastically fuzzy friend Chewbacca is as massive as ever. Plow your way through any structure using his huge frame, in what we call an Earthquake Attack.
R2-D2Electric Shock
Beep boop! Our friendly droid R2-D2 features his patented ability to shock any nearby enemies with electricity.
C-3POSplit Apart
Invaluable in his friendship, partially because he is made of gold, C-3PO has the ability of breaking into fragments at your command. Each piece has capable to doing some damage to any block or enemy it touches.
Princess Leia (T)Gravity Pull
Princess Leia, similar to Padme Amidala, features a tractor beam. However, Leia's beam will pull at objects instead of pushing them. Makes you wonder if the two gals are related...
Luke Skywalker (Pilot) (T)Lightsaber, Single-Swipe
Our young hero from the original trilogy, Luke Skywalker wields a basic lightsaber capable of a single swipe.
Luke Skywalker (Endor) (T)Lightsaber, Double-Swipe
As his Jedi training progresses, Luke Skywalker is now capable of two swipes with his lightsaber. I'm no mathematian, but that seems like double the power!
Luke (Jedi) (T)Lightsaber, Triple-Swipe
With his training complete courtesy of Master Yoda, the full Jedi Luke Skywalker now swipes his lightsaber an unprecedented three times in quick succession!
Han Solo (T)Blaster, Three Single-Shots
Han Solo wields a simple laser blaster. With it, he is capable of taking three quick shots wherever the user aims.
Silver C-3PO (*)Split Apart
Just like his golden equivalent, Silver C-3PO breaks apart into pieces, each if which can pop enemies and topple structures.
Kit Fisto (T)Lightsaber Spin
Kit Fisto features a lightsaber spin, though far less extreme than Yoda or Droideka.
Carbonite Han Solo (T)Freezing
When Han Solo is frozen in Carbonite, his blaster is rendered useless. Instead, this character turns every block in its immediate vicinity into ice.
Lando Calrissian (T)Blaster, One Triple-Shot
Lando yields a blaster capable of a single triple-shot.
Wicket the Ewok (T)Three Triple-Splits
Three Ewoks are launched from the slinghsot, each with the capability of splitting into three more!
Hera SyndullaHoming Cannon
She will drop a blaster cannon that will shoot visible targets
Kanan Jarrus (T)Laser Gun
Kanan Jarrus possess a massive laser gun that penetrates everything
Garazeb “Zeb” Orrelios (T)Hulk Smash and Boom!
With a huge force Zeb will smash right thru just about anything, getting more and more furious along the way until he is red in the face and explodes.
Pork Side
Darth SidiousForce Lightning
Darth Sidious, aka Emperor Palpatine, can conjure and direct lightning. It is particularly effective against metallic objects, such as chains. It has little effect on wood, however.
Jango FettSingle Missile
Jango Fett features a single missile that can be aimed wherever the user pleases. Be aware that both Jango and the missile are metallic, and thus heavily effected by magnets.
Battle DroidBlaster, Three Single-Shots
The Battle Droid carries a simple laser blaster capable of taking three quick shots wherever the user aims.
Darth MaulDouble Lightsaber
Darth Maul features his patented double-ended lightsaber, able to reduce most blocks to rubble in a single spin.
Count DookuBoomerang Lightsaber
Count Dooku's boomerang lightsaber is an extremely strong weapon. It is indestructible unless it contacts a permanent structure such as the ground. It has exceptional range and is capable of detonating any TNT that stands in its path.
DroidekaSpin Attack
Droideka can tuck into a tight ball, resulting in a spin attack capable of great destruction. Similar to Yoda, Droideka can pinball around a level and topple many structures at once.
Zam Wesell Rope Swing
Zam Wesell has a grappling hook in her repertoire. This allows her to grab nearby objects and swing around them. The user must tap-to-aim the initial firing of the rope swing, then may tap again to release Zam.
General Grievous (*)Quadruple Lightsaber!
Quite possibly the most powerful straight-attack character in the game, General Grievous features an unprecedented quadruple lightsaber attack! No blocks stand in the way of this four-pronged fury.
Anakin, Episode III (Sith Apprentice) (*)Radial Force Push
The Force is strong with Anakin as he falls to the Pork Side. His ability pulls nearby objects closer temporarily before launching them with great power in all directions.
Darth Vader (*)Radial Force Push
This is CNN. Oh wait, wrong voiceover line. Anyways, to avoid any spoilers, Darth Vader has an ability that bears an uncanny resemblance to that of Anakin. We can just leave it at that, shall we?
Boba FettDouble Missile
Perhaps the most beloved member of the Pork Side, Boba Fett features a double missile attack. Be aware that neither missile actually travels at the user-determined location. Rather, they travel approximately 10-15 degrees above and below that line.
Biker Scout (*)Speeder Bike
The Biker Scout behaves similarly to Anakin with his Podracer. The Scout will follow behind the Speeder Bike, which can be redirected toward any other location on-screen. The Scout will tail behind, knocking down structures as he goes.
TIE Fighter Pilot (*)Blaster, Two Double-Shots
The TIE Fighter Pilot wields the most powerful blaster in the game. Capable of pulling the trigger twice in quick succession, each pull fires a double-dose of laser glory.
Stormtrooper (*)Blaster, Five Scattered Shots
The Stormtrooper is the typical bad guy minion who is absolutely incapable of hitting anything it shoots at. A Stormtrooper can five shots, but the shots are pretty scattered. Nonetheless, this can be useful if aiming for five different targets, I suppose.
Red Battle Droid (*)Blaster, Three Single-Shots
Similar to its non-red equivalent, the Red Battle Droid fires three quick shots with its laser blaster, directed toward wherever the user aims.
Hologram Darth Sidious (*)Invisibility + Force Lightning
Hologram Darth Sidious, like his non-hologram equivalent, uses lightning to heavily attack metallic objects. The hologram effect allows him to pass through objects without touching them. Note that the hologram disappears after the normal ability is activated.
Shadowtrooper (*)Invisibility + Blaster, Five Scattered Shots
The Shadowtrooper is a tweak of the Stormtrooper, as so fires five scattered shots. However, the Shadowtrooper can pass through objects, just like Hologram Darth Sidious. Note that the hologram disappears after the normal ability is activated.
Shocktrooper (T)Blaster, Two Triple-Shots
The Red Clone Trooper, aka Shocktrooper, wields a blaster capable of two shots of three blasts each.
Jabba the Hutt (T)Massive Bulk
Jabba the Hutt has been meaning to go on a diet, but sometimes the first step is the hardest: PUTTING DOWN THE FORK! As he struggles, his massive bulk will throw blocks across the entire level.
Royal Guard (T)Spear
The Royal Guard carries a spear that allows him to grab onto a single item. The Guard will pull the item and hold on for dear life.
Tusken Raider (T)Single Sniper Shot
The Tusken Raider is a classic baddy and an extraordinarily good shot. He takes a single shot anywhere on screen, sniping that item despite any blocks between the character and the target.
The Inquisitor (T)Double Lightsaber
The Inquisitor has double-ended lightsaber, Spinning his way thru most blocks and debris.
Imperial Officer (T)Aimed Multi Shots
The Imperial Officer shoots like a maniac, machine-gun style and continuously or where ever you tap to aim until his clip is empty or if he smashes into something.
AT-DP PilotLaser Gun
The AT-DP Pilot with a laser gun that is reflected by anything metal, he can do great damage when the angles are just right.
Cikatro Vizago Three Shockwave Bombs
Cikatro Vizago carriers 3 shockwave bombs and will release them where ever the aiming point is. If the bombs bounce just right he can damage an entire section.
Vizago DroidSplit Apart
He sacrifices himself and split himself into a lot of different pieces attacking from multiple points and doing damage to anything it hits.
Agent KallusTwo Triple-Splits
Joined by two mini stormtroopers Agent Kallus engage the target, waiting for a surprise attack by splitting the Mini stormtroopers in to a trio on demand. Creating a small army which he leads.

@mvnla2
Thanks, I’ve identified the characters by doing just that, hadn’t noticed whether or not the new characters are listed under rebels achievements or not though. That said, I dont know if say ‘chopper is reward level br26, br28 or br29, etc etc and as I’ve not yet unlocked these levels I’ve no way of knowing, hence my asking if anyone can help match the characters listed to the levels listed. ;)
Good now see the name of all characters and am draw characters of angry birds star wars 2
It might be a good idea to use silver c3p0 on levels with normal golden c3p0. You know these levels a bit better
please add the star wars rebels characters. I had a hard time identifying them and don’t know their actual abilities.
Plz add them soon.
I think the inquisitor will come soon in later updates. it is not a T one.
No because there is only one chapter for REBELS
No more updates based on REBELS chapter will come
Oh, & btw i got one for vizago droid
“The Vizago Droid has the same power as Gold C-3PO, but there are lesser pieces to this droid. But at least you dont have to use traitor for C-3PO anymore.”
You can use these exact words if you want.
Can anyone help me please?
I need help to get the points to open the reward levels. Which are the best levels to get the necessary points ?
I need the following Characters: Chopper, Garazeb zeb orrelios, Kanan jarrus, Vizago droid, The Inquisitor& Imperial officer.
Thank you very much !
One of the better levels to rack up points quickly is Rewards Chapter Level BR-11 (Chewbacca). Good luck!
Can you change the characters page? Revenge of the Pork has unlocked Kit Fisto, General Grievous, Anakin Episode III (sith apprentice) and shocktrooper. Everything else is probably telepods or character swaps.
Is darth vader stronger than anakin episode 3 ?
I have 3 characters that have an ifinity symbol next to their quantity. Does anyone know what that means? Does it mean I have unlimited use of that character?
You can “swap” that character(s) once per try, but on any try you want and on as many tries as you want.
Both gals are related.
Queen Padme Amidala of Naboo is secretly married to Anakin Skywalker during episode 2 which makes Anakin’s fall to the Dark Side, Padme’s 2 new babies before birth at Episode 3. Those babies are Luke and Leia Skywalker. The reason Leia’s name became Leia Organa is because she was sent to Bail Organa of Alderaan which made her princess. For Luke, he was sent to Owen and Beru Lars, but his family name did not change. Both Obi-Wan and Yoda separate them to overthrow the empire with them. Also, the reason why Obi-Wan’s appearance changed is because, he was a Jedi in episodes 1 to 3, but he hid as an old hermit under the name Ben Kenobi, and he also used a cape to disguise his identity as a Jedi to Luke until the time comes.
I know
ABVVC 324EE IS capable of pulling some SAWS out of his body and he launches those ten to whereever tye user taps before he hits an object
I Just made a new character. it’s called Padmedia, the evolution of Padmedia. I hope it’s in the game soon
Ps: I not telling the move.
Why can’t the inquisitor penetrate any blocks?
Does hologram Darth sidious still have the chain lighting? I know that he does lighting, but does it do the chain?
There’s a glitch on obi wan.
I made a mistake on my first reply
Why isn’t there Nutella gunray?
It¡¦s actually a great and helpful piece of information. I am glad that you shared this useful info with us. Please stay us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.
Another franchise that needs some Legends. Thrawn, Mara, Jaina, Jacen, Anakin Solo, Cade Skywalker, Krayt, Revan…
Please add the Series 1 and2 characters 😊😀
This guide would really be complete if it said where these characters appear in the game.
