Angry Birds Star Wars Gameplay Footage

UPDATE #2:

There’s not much else I can say about it, so here’s a full length trailer for Angry Birds Star Wars. I would like to point out that the Angry Birds-ified Millennium Falcon, seen at the very end, looks to function like the series’ “Eagle” character. Occasionally, some levels in the games can be frustratingly hard to beat, so you can “beat” them by purchasing the Eagle. Instead of puny skills like other birds, the Eagle will basically decimate an entire level with just the flick of your finger. It would seem like the Death Star would’ve been more fitting, but if your playing as the heroes than the Millennium Falcon will do just fine.

UPDATE #1:

Everyone’s countdown clocks are set for 2015, but don’t forget that in a few short days Angry Birds Star Wars releases. Several new gameplay clips have been unveiled, giving us a bird’s eye view (see what I did there? Yes, I’m sorry) of the game. Levels look to be a mixture of classic Angry Birds-style and the recently released Angry Birds Space gravity gameplay. Check out the clips below and get ready to save the galaxy one old Obi-Wan bomb bird at a time.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE:

All the fan art and promotional images in the galaxy aren’t enough to convince most gamers/app players to be excited for the upcoming release of the interesting combo-pack of Angry Birds Star Wars. Just today, Rovio, the developers of Angry Birds, have heeded the call of something more and released a video containing the first ever gameplay footage. This tease, including footage of Red Bird (5, standing by) Luke swinging a lightsaber, might just be enough to tip those on the fence over the edge. No matter which side of the fence you land on, this app releases to the public on November 8th across iOS, Android, and Windows 8 PCs platforms.
