'''''Angry Birds Star Wars''''' (previously known as '''''Angry Birds Black''''' in development<ref>[[:File:Star Wars Proto.png]]</ref>) was the sixth entry of the mainline [[Angry Birds (series)|''Angry Birds'' series]]. It serves as an adaptation of the [[w:c:starwars:Original trilogy|original trilogy]] of the [[w:c:starwars:Star Wars|''Star Wars'' series]]. It was developed by [[Rovio Entertainment Corporation|Rovio Entertainment]] and LucasArts, and published by the former in November 2012. A prequel, ''[[Angry Birds Star Wars II]]'', would be released in October 2013.
  +
  +
As with all remaining ''Angry Birds'' games released before ''[[Angry Birds Transformers]]'' (aside from ''[[Angry Birds Friends]]''), ''Angry Birds Star Wars'' was deleted from the App Store and Google Play Store in 2019.
  +
  +
It is possible, though unlikely that ''Angry Birds Star Wars'' will return along with other games like ''Seasons'' after Rovio said in a reply that it "will be a long shot due to the license".
  +
  +
==History==
  +
On February 3, [[2020]], along with [[Angry Birds Rio]] and [[Angry Birds Star Wars II]], it was announced that the servers for ''Angry Birds Star Wars'' were closed down due to licensing issues. However, the game can still be played as normal, but the player cannot make in-app purchases, or receive advertisements. This also means that episodes such as [[Path of the Jedi]] and [[Boba Fett Missions]] cannot be unlocked instantly by purchasing them, and can only be unlocked 3-starring all episodes or collecting all the jetpacks.
  +
[[File:ABStarWars ShutDown.webp|center|thumb|250x250px]]
  +
  +
On April 8, [[2024]], the leaderboard servers for the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game went permanently offline as a result of the [[w:c:nintendo:Nintendo Network|Nintendo Network]] shut down.<ref>https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/63227/~/announcement-of-discontinuation-of-online-services-for-nintendo-3ds-and-wii-u</ref>

==Plot==
  +
Having finished the construction of the [[Death Star]], [[Red/Angryverse/Star Wars/Darth Vader|Darth Vader]] kidnaps [[Stella/Angryverse/Star Wars/Princess Leia|Princess Leia]], who is left in a room with [[R2-D2]]. She installs the plans of the Death Star in the robot's memory, and the latter uses an escape pod to escape with his friend [[Matilda/Angryverse/Star Wars/C-3PO|C-3PO]]. Later, Darth Vader pressures Leia into telling him the location of "[[The Egg]]", an object that Vader wants to find to be promoted to Emperor, although she refuses. In the meantime, C-3PO and R2-D2 land on [[Tatooine]], where they are found by some [[Jawa Bird]]s, who put them in sale hoping to get some money.<ref name="ABSWCE">''[[Angry Birds Star Wars Character Encyclopedia]]''</ref>
  +
  +
Some time later, [[Red/Angryverse/Star Wars/Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]] goes to buy some supplies for his farm, only to come across the Jawa Birds, who offer him R2-D2 and C-3PO. He decides to buy them and the Jawa Birds leave satisfied. The robots tell Luke about the Death Star and Leia captive.<ref name="ABSWCE" /> Later, Luke makes his way through Tatooine, coming across some [[Tusken Raider]]s, who manage to knock him down. Fortunately however, [[Bomb/Angryverse/Star Wars/Obi-Wan Kenobi|Obi-Wan Kenobi]] comes in and saves him. Afterward, the duo goes to a cantina, where they meet [[Chuck/Angryverse/Star Wars/Han Solo|Han Solo]] and [[Chewbacca]]. Then, [[Greedork]] appears after being sent by [[Jabba the Hutt]] to hunt down the heroes.<ref name="ABSWCE" /> However, Han spots him and shoots a laser shot at him. The group later uses the ''[[Mighty Falcon]]'' to leave Tatooine and go to space. There, they track the location of the Death Star and go to it. They are supported by the [[The Blues/Angryverse/Star Wars/Blue Squadron|Blue Squadron]] as well.
  +
  +
After going on board the Death Star, the group has a battle against Darth Vader, which gives both the villain and Obi Wan more power of the Force. The heroes later have another battle against Vader, the latter driving his [[Darth Vader's TIE fighter|TIE fighter]]. Despite the odds, the group defeats Darth Vader and manages to destroy the main reactor of the Death Star, which triggers a chain reaction that causes it to explode.
  +
  +
Later, the Bird Rebels go to [[Hoth]] and build a secret headquarters there, the [[Echo Base]]. Learning about the base, Darth Vader and his troops go to Hoth and start a battle against the Rebels there.<ref name="ABSWCE" /> With no other option but to escape, the heroes end up in one of the asteroids of the planet. Ending up in a cave full of hostile [[Mynhog]]s, the group makes their way, eventually defeating the [[Giant Mynhog]] and leaving.
  +
  +
Some time after these events, the Bird Rebels go to [[Cloud City]], a floating city on planet [[Gaspin]], to visit Han Solo's old friend, [[Chuck/Angryverse/Star Wars/Lando Bird|Lando Bird]]issian. However, the group is unaware that Darth Vader already knows about this and has forced Lando to give him all the details about the Rebels' hostage.<ref name="ABSWCE" /> Later, Darth Vader and [[Boba Fett]] manage to kidnap Solo and freeze him in [[carbonite]]. Regretting having aided Vader, Lando teams up with the Rebels to take down the villain. Eventually, Luke has a duel against Darth Vader, who admits to him that he is his father. However, Luke still manages to defeat him. The Bird Rebels later leave.
  +
  +
Time later, Luke and R2-D2 use the [[X-wing Birdfighter]] ship to travel to [[Dagobah]] so that [[Yoda]] can train Luke. Accidentally landing on [[Dragonsnake Bog]], causing the ship to sink in the water, the two meet Yoda, who trains Luke to be a Jedi Master. Luke and R2-D2 would later leave Dagobah. In the meantime, on Tatooine, Leia frees Han from the carbonite he was trapped in, only for the two to be kidnapped by Jabba the Hutt. However, Luke comes in and saves his friends. The three heroes later leave after choking Jabba to death. On a moon of planet [[Endor]], the Bird Rebels meet the [[Ewok Bird]]s and destroy one of Darth Vader's bases.
  +
  +
[[File:Angry Birds Star Wars The End.png|thumb|250px|The ending screen of ''Angry Birds Star Wars''.]]
  +
Meanwhile, in space, Vader and his minions have finished the building of the [[Death Star 2]], which is powerful enough to pulverize entire battle ships instantly. However, the Bird Rebels and Lando manage to weaken the defense systems of the ship, thus making them able to get aboard it. There, the Bird Rebels have a final showdown against Darth Vader and his master, [[Darth Sidious|Emperor Palpatine]]. However, Vader has a sudden change of heart and strikes down Palpatine, though this leaves him very injured. A grieved Luke then opens Vader's armor, allowing him to see his face for the first time. However, the heroes are later forced to leave the Death Star 2 after a chain reaction is triggered, causing it to explode. The Bird Rebels later celebrate their victory with C-3PO, R2-D2 and some Ewok Birds as Obi Wan, Vader, and Yoda, as Jedi spirits, watch them.
   
 
==Gameplay==
  
==Gameplay==
  +
''Angry Birds Star Wars'' is a puzzle video game with similar gameplay to that from previous ''[[Angry Birds (series)|Angry Birds]]'' games. In the game, the player takes control of a limited group of birds, who can be launched anywhere by the use of a [[slingshot]]. All levels have a series of enemies the player must take down by the use of their characters. These enemies normally appear sheltered inside of structures made of [[wood]], [[glass]], and/or [[metal]], in addition of some additional objects, such as chains and [[TNT]]. If the player fails to kill all the enemies in the levels, they will get a [[Level Failed]] screen, encouraging them to try again. If they manage to do so however, they will win and pass to the next level. Upon completing each level, the player will receive one, two, or three [[star]]s depending on the score received.
−
The game combines elements of both ''[[Angry Birds]]'' and ''[[Angry Birds Space]]'', featuring levels that take place on both standard terrain and in outer space. The game begins on Luke Skywalker's homeworld; Tatooine. With the exclusion of [[Jay, Jake and Jim|Jay, Jake And Jim]] , all the Birds are given new powers not yet seen in a canon ''Angry Birds'' title, some of these being upgraded as the game progresses further. One difference is that a Bird may still perform his/her chosen ability moments after becoming a [[Corpse]]. This is the first game where players can update their birds and second game that you can play as Darth Vader (Default).

*Red and Obi-Wan fight their way through the [[w:c:starwars:Jundland Wastes|Jundland Wastes]], similar to [[w:c:starwars:LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy|LEGO Star Wars II]].

*In ''Angry Birds Star Wars'', there actually is a reason Ponda and Evazan dislike Red Skywalker: Red accidentally shoved Ponda into a pickle jar. In ''Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope'', Ponda and Evazan dislike Luke for no apparent reason.
  
  +
'''''[[Angry Birds Star Wars II]]''''', or '''''Angry Birds Star Wars 2''''', was a video game that is part of the [[Angry Birds (series)|''Angry Birds'' series]]. A prequel of ''Angry Birds Star Wars'', it was developed by [[Rovio Entertainment Corporation|Rovio Entertainment]] and LucasArts, and released in late 2013.
−
*Ponda Baba's arm isn't cut off. Instead, Baba has a pickle in his mouth that gets cut in half by Obi-Wan's Lightsaber. This is all most likely due to attempting to make the game kid-friendly, and the fact Baba doesn't have any arms in ''Angry Birds Star Wars'', like most ''Angry Birds ''characters.

−
*Red uses his Lightsaber throughout ''[[w:c:starwars:Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|A New Hope]]'', unlike Luke, who only uses it twice in the movie.

"JOIN THE ANGRY BIRDS IN THEIR BIGGEST ADVENTURE YET!"
— Tagline

Angry Birds Star Wars (previously known as Angry Birds Black in development[3]) was the sixth entry of the mainline Angry Birds series. It serves as an adaptation of the original trilogy of the Star Wars series. It was developed by Rovio Entertainment and LucasArts, and published by the former in November 2012. A prequel, Angry Birds Star Wars II, would be released in October 2013.

As with all remaining Angry Birds games released before Angry Birds Transformers (aside from Angry Birds Friends), Angry Birds Star Wars was deleted from the App Store and Google Play Store in 2019.

It is possible, though unlikely that Angry Birds Star Wars will return along with other games like Seasons after Rovio said in a reply that it "will be a long shot due to the license".

History

On February 3, 2020, along with Angry Birds Rio and Angry Birds Star Wars II, it was announced that the servers for Angry Birds Star Wars were closed down due to licensing issues. However, the game can still be played as normal, but the player cannot make in-app purchases, or receive advertisements. This also means that episodes such as Path of the Jedi and Boba Fett Missions cannot be unlocked instantly by purchasing them, and can only be unlocked 3-starring all episodes or collecting all the jetpacks.

ABStarWars ShutDown

On April 8, 2024, the leaderboard servers for the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game went permanently offline as a result of the Nintendo Network shut down.[4]


Plot

Having finished the construction of the Death Star, Darth Vader kidnaps Princess Leia, who is left in a room with R2-D2. She installs the plans of the Death Star in the robot's memory, and the latter uses an escape pod to escape with his friend C-3PO. Later, Darth Vader pressures Leia into telling him the location of "The Egg", an object that Vader wants to find to be promoted to Emperor, although she refuses. In the meantime, C-3PO and R2-D2 land on Tatooine, where they are found by some Jawa Birds, who put them in sale hoping to get some money.[5]

Some time later, Luke Skywalker goes to buy some supplies for his farm, only to come across the Jawa Birds, who offer him R2-D2 and C-3PO. He decides to buy them and the Jawa Birds leave satisfied. The robots tell Luke about the Death Star and Leia captive.[5] Later, Luke makes his way through Tatooine, coming across some Tusken Raiders, who manage to knock him down. Fortunately however, Obi-Wan Kenobi comes in and saves him. Afterward, the duo goes to a cantina, where they meet Han Solo and Chewbacca. Then, Greedork appears after being sent by Jabba the Hutt to hunt down the heroes.[5] However, Han spots him and shoots a laser shot at him. The group later uses the Mighty Falcon to leave Tatooine and go to space. There, they track the location of the Death Star and go to it. They are supported by the Blue Squadron as well.

After going on board the Death Star, the group has a battle against Darth Vader, which gives both the villain and Obi Wan more power of the Force. The heroes later have another battle against Vader, the latter driving his TIE fighter. Despite the odds, the group defeats Darth Vader and manages to destroy the main reactor of the Death Star, which triggers a chain reaction that causes it to explode.

Later, the Bird Rebels go to Hoth and build a secret headquarters there, the Echo Base. Learning about the base, Darth Vader and his troops go to Hoth and start a battle against the Rebels there.[5] With no other option but to escape, the heroes end up in one of the asteroids of the planet. Ending up in a cave full of hostile Mynhogs, the group makes their way, eventually defeating the Giant Mynhog and leaving.

Some time after these events, the Bird Rebels go to Cloud City, a floating city on planet Gaspin, to visit Han Solo's old friend, Lando Birdissian. However, the group is unaware that Darth Vader already knows about this and has forced Lando to give him all the details about the Rebels' hostage.[5] Later, Darth Vader and Boba Fett manage to kidnap Solo and freeze him in carbonite. Regretting having aided Vader, Lando teams up with the Rebels to take down the villain. Eventually, Luke has a duel against Darth Vader, who admits to him that he is his father. However, Luke still manages to defeat him. The Bird Rebels later leave.

Time later, Luke and R2-D2 use the X-wing Birdfighter ship to travel to Dagobah so that Yoda can train Luke. Accidentally landing on Dragonsnake Bog, causing the ship to sink in the water, the two meet Yoda, who trains Luke to be a Jedi Master. Luke and R2-D2 would later leave Dagobah. In the meantime, on Tatooine, Leia frees Han from the carbonite he was trapped in, only for the two to be kidnapped by Jabba the Hutt. However, Luke comes in and saves his friends. The three heroes later leave after choking Jabba to death. On a moon of planet Endor, the Bird Rebels meet the Ewok Birds and destroy one of Darth Vader's bases.

Angry Birds Star Wars The End

The ending screen of Angry Birds Star Wars.

Meanwhile, in space, Vader and his minions have finished the building of the Death Star 2, which is powerful enough to pulverize entire battle ships instantly. However, the Bird Rebels and Lando manage to weaken the defense systems of the ship, thus making them able to get aboard it. There, the Bird Rebels have a final showdown against Darth Vader and his master, Emperor Palpatine. However, Vader has a sudden change of heart and strikes down Palpatine, though this leaves him very injured. A grieved Luke then opens Vader's armor, allowing him to see his face for the first time. However, the heroes are later forced to leave the Death Star 2 after a chain reaction is triggered, causing it to explode. The Bird Rebels later celebrate their victory with C-3PO, R2-D2 and some Ewok Birds as Obi Wan, Vader, and Yoda, as Jedi spirits, watch them.

Gameplay

Angry Birds Star Wars is a puzzle video game with similar gameplay to that from previous Angry Birds games. In the game, the player takes control of a limited group of birds, who can be launched anywhere by the use of a slingshot. All levels have a series of enemies the player must take down by the use of their characters. These enemies normally appear sheltered inside of structures made of wood, glass, and/or metal, in addition of some additional objects, such as chains and TNT. If the player fails to kill all the enemies in the levels, they will get a Level Failed screen, encouraging them to try again. If they manage to do so however, they will win and pass to the next level. Upon completing each level, the player will receive one, two, or three stars depending on the score received.

Reception

When the game released in 2012, many casual and experienced players were thrilled with the new crossover, saying that the refined gameplay (even without the crossover) made the game better compared to the original game.[6]

The console ports of the game however had some minor issues. A common complaint with the console versions was the price, which varied between $30-$50 USD on launch in 2013.[7][8] On the Wii U version, players thought that the implementation with the game pad was a good touch, but the game retailed for US$50.[9] For users on the PlayStation Vita version of the game, they complained that the touch controls are difficult to use when holding the device.[10] On the Xbox 360 version, players thought the story could've had more cinematic moments like other Star Wars games and that features like Kinect support and multiplayer were "just merely there".[11] For players on the PlayStation 3, players felt that the game was "out of place" on the console and that the price is more compared to other platforms.[12]
