On November 8, Rovio and Lucasfilm Ltd. will release “Angry Birds Star Wars” for iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Mac, PC, Windows Phone and Windows 8.
“From the deserts of Tatooine to the depths of the Death Star — the game and merchandise will feature the ‘Angry Birds’ characters starring as the iconic heroes of the beloved saga like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca,” writes The Hollywood Reporter. “The Bad Piggies, who just got their own game last month, will be transformed by the Dark Side and turn into Darth Vader and other bad guys.”
For “Angry Birds” fans still looking for Halloween costumes, you’re in luck. “Beginning October 28, merchandise ranging from Halloween costumes and apparel to action figures and collectible plush toys will be available at select retailers, just in time for the holiday shopping season,” notes the article.
“Both ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Angry Birds’ share the instant and irresistible appeal of hands-on fun,” says Colum Slevin, VP and head of studio operations for Lucasfilm. “People seem to instinctively know what to do when handed a lightsaber or a bird in a slingshot, so this is a natural combination.”
In the coming weeks, the companies will release video shorts to promote the game.
