Update 11 June: Rovio released the above trailer, showing that the teaser tweet was actually for “Boba’s Delivery” animation trailer. You’ll be able to see the animation via Angry Birds Toons in your Angry Birds apps on 13 June.
It is important to note something written in the YouTube video description, however:
June 13 will be full of surprises…
(Yes, we’re hinting at something extra!)
Perhaps we will still see an update?
Original Post
That’s right, rebels! Our feathered heroes will be returning to action in Angry Birds Star Wars!
Rovio sent out a teaser tweet not too long ago, saying:
Got something really cool planned for you guys. Here’s a hint: http://twitpic.com/cwizlx #AngryBirdsStarWars
With Boba Fett staring back at me, I’m predicting the final 20 levels of Cloud City will be coming soon to a device near you! Maybe even more levels within the Boba Fett Missions, but that I’m less sure about.
Now of course, this is all mere speculation at this point, and I’ve been wrong before (ahh, I remember that day). But if I were you, I’d keep your eyes peeled and fingers prepped. We don’t know exactly when the update will land (we all know Rovio loves to update on Thursdays, but they’ve switched it up a bit recently) or which platforms will come when (PC is still waiting on the first half of Cloud City, but Rovio is finishing up with some technical issues on that front), but it should be soon.
Oh, and for iOS users, you will still have to fetch this update for yourself from the AppStore… for now. Not sure what I’m talking about? iOS 7 is coming soon and will feature automatic app updates!
Still plugging through Cloud City? Our walkthroughs should be able to help you out!
Automatic App Updates? Does that mean we won’t know we have new levels to play unless we subscribe to notifications here?
I think all of the hype and excitement on social networking channels and ABN up to a month before the updates, and then the possible confirmation of updates coming out with-in two days of it, will be enough for you to be able to know about it. I think that you just don’t need to spend 3 hours of your thursday morning checking for updates, you could just wake up to it, or look at your phone during the day, and it will be ready-installed on your phone without the need to miss any valuable flinging time, @burbman:]
We don’t know much about how Apple’s auto-update system will work. Theoretically, there should be some sort of notification.
@amslimfordy – Thanks, That was a tongue in cheek way of trying to give your system a plug!!
@Burbman We’re A-OK with that one ;)
Finally, ABSW is such a great game and Cloud City is awesome episode, can’t wait to see what they made for “boss fight”. I wouldn’t upgrade my device to iOS 7, but I will probably buy new one next year, as I can see that all new games require higher iOS then mine. as for automatic updates I have android smartphone and Google Play Store offers possibility that user set installed applications be automaticly updated in which case user get notification that update is sucessfully installed. If user choose other optin he/she will get notification that update is available and will be directly linked to application in store and start updating if want.
Loved the Cloud City Levels. One star short and still working it. The levels appeared to provide a new type of play with the bird’s movements and results that held one’s interest to play. They have been fun to say the least. Looking forward to additional levels.
Hmmmm…. so IOS lacks in something Android has: AUTO UPDATES!!!!!
Can’t wait for the update.
Another tweet from the Birds:
@AngryBirds: “Put Captain Solo in the Cargo hold. Oink.” #AngryBirdsStarWars
Oh no! Or oh yes! Does this mean we don’t have Han for awhile or we get a solidified version?
They gave us Lando at the end of the first twenty levels, has the same powers as Han.
@Burbman I don’t believe Lando has appeared as a playable character yet. I’ve only seen him in cutscenes.
Really looking forward to the update. Thank you for the news!
Hey-yo nest! Rovio just released a video about Boba Fett’s Delivery trailer on June 13! Sounds interesting. Here’s the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qGIx0_8giA
Yep, a new 3D animation series.
cc: @birdleader @Amslimfordy
Very interesting. However, based on the self-proclaimed “hint” in the YT description, I’m thinkin we may be right anyways!
So this teaser was for this video or for the new levels?
@Josm Yep, Teaser was for a new 3D animation series coming on June 13 :/
@josm @amandeep
While the teaser was for this video, the video teases for new levels.
Ok thanks, the video says we can see the video in All angry birds apps, so simply behind the Toons button i think?
You aren’t looking hard enough ;)
Thanks!
That is why,
“Yes, we’re hinting at something extra” is written in the video description. ;)
A Google+ comment reads:
“Oh, and there might be new levels as well ;)”
Yes, that might be good!
I guess that confirms the new levels. cc @amslimfordy
Yes, practically :) hopefully we get more Boba Fett missions to! And offcourse the 20 final Cloud City Levels
They say on twitter : “There will also be an additional surprise coming with the animation on Thursday. Can you guess what it is?”
We know the answer – New cloud City levels!
Cloud City update will come out tomorrow, Thursday! ;)
I wonder if Rovio is going to put power-ups into the game.
They’re going to eventually. They’re implementing them into all the games and I don’t see why they wouldn’t into this one. Hopefully it will have a score differentiating system like Space.
Rovio has really fallen in love with Boba Fett as a character. I’ve never really understood what the big deal is about him, since he only said two words in the movie, but he’s gotten a lot of fanfare.
Now Lando. Terrific!
I wonder what is the cutscene.
Tweet: ‘To everyone at #E3: Don’t forget to watch your Twitter feeds too, we’ll be tweeting about our next big thing shortly! #E32013 ‘
I hope they make an announcement for an new game ?!
Me too! Remember the Angry Birds 2 Buzz? Maybe it is something to do with it…
After the hint that is coming today, i think @AMslimfordy had to write an new post ;) I asked them on facebook what the next adventure is going to be, they answered: You’ll find it out pretty soon ;)
So i am pretty sure they gonna announce an new game :)
@josm I’m refreshing Twitter pretty frequently. We have no idea what the announcement will be. Perhaps it’s related to Star Wars, perhaps it’s something completely different. But I’m ready.
Well It is possible, they give hints for Star Wars last days.. I have the twitter & Facebook page open right now :)
On facebook they give us this message: ‘In a few moments we’ll be giving you a glimpse of our next big thing. Squawk if you can’t wait!’
I am not very known in the ‘game world’ but what is E3 ? a kind of game conference?
E3 is the Electronic Entertainment Expo. It’s held every year at the L.A. Convention Center.
@AMSlimfordy — There is a second photo of Bobb Fett animation on AB Twitter. Not sure if it is from video above.
~15s in the video, I believe @mvnla2
Update out Now for iOS. ABSW Version 1.3.0
20 New Levels in Cloudy City and Power Ups included!
and android(google play)
ABSW Version 1.3.0
20 New Levels in Cloudy City and Power Ups included!
Two questions:
a) Where is Boba’s Delivery? I can’t find it in AB Toons.
b) If a power up is used in a level, does it leave a little power-up icon on the level selection interface like in Space?
a) I found Boba´s Delivery in ABspace.
b) Yes :)
c) ABSW now has daily reward where you can win Mighty Falcons!
I found it in Star Wars’ toons.
Ok, my thoughts about BOBA’S DELIVERY.
First, Boba’s Delivery marks a new chapter in Angry Birds Animation, due to the fact that it is animated in 3D. Which reminds me of the animated movies out there. I’m very impressed with the quality of the animation and the mini film itself.
Secondly, about the plot, I find it extremely similar to Lego Star Wars films, in the way that they make the plot as comedic as possible. I also really enjoy the attention to detail in the film, such as Darth Vader’s mask on the coin as heads, and the symbol of the Republic as tails, or ‘Join the Dark Side’ cup. Also, I learnt some very important lessons about pigs! Here they are:
1)Pigs drink through their noses! (Just look at Darth Vader)
2)Pigs DO talk! (I was beginning to think that they don’t…)
3)Pigs make horrible jetpacks! (One bump and the rider rockets out to hyperspace? Unthinkable.)
Anyway, very pleased and impressed with this film and sent me Rolling on the Floor Laughing!

I bought Angry Birds Star Wars for PC couple of weeks ago. I entered the code and unlocked full version, but in the Cloud City I have only levels 4-1 to 4-20. When I go to the screen of 4-21+ levels it says “coming soon”. How to unlock these levels? Anyone, help please.
That particular update has not yet landed for PC. It should be arriving soon.
