“May the flock be with you……” The wildly popular Angry Birds game franchise is coming to a galaxy far far away. The next version of Angry Birds which will be released on November 8th will feature the characters, stories and settings of the “Star Wars” films.
The game will feature the Angry Birds characters transforming into Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca and other “Star Wars“ characters.
“Both ‘Star Wars’ and Angry Birds share the instant and irresistible appeal of hands-on fun,” said Colum Slevin, vice president and head of studio operations for Lucasfilm Ltd., which produced the six “Star Wars” movies. “People seem to instinctively know what to do when handed a lightsaber or a bird in a slingshot, so this is a natural combination,” Slevin added.
A gaggle of “Angry Birds Star Wars” merchandise, from clothing and Halloween costumes to plush toys and action figures is also in development.
“Angry Birds Star Wars” will be available for iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Mac, PC, Windows Phone and Windows 8.
If you have lived under a rock (or maybe in a nest) Angry Birds is a game in which players use slingshots to launch birds at hungry green pigs – who are protected by a variety of structures.
