Hoth



Hoth is an episode that was released on Angry Birds Star Wars on November 29th, 2012. Hoth is the third planet in the game. The first Hoth update brings a new Bonus level that required 385 Stars. The Escape from Hoth update brought the next bonus with an unlock requirement 425 stars. Both updates each include one new Golden Droid to find. Rovio announced the release date on Twitter and Facebook. The levels first take place on the planet itself, in a icy landscape, followed by space levels with the view of the planet, next more space levels in Hoth's own asteroid field, and finally, regular gravitized levels inside a deep, dark cave (Belly of an Exogorth Pig), home of the Mynock Pigs.

Cutscenes
3-1: Vader is seen planning an attack on Hoth, troopers (Blue Birds) are seen fighting AT-ATs, while the Hoth base is seen damaged with Leia and Chuck Solo inside.

3-20: The Falcon is seen escaping pigs.

3-27: The Falcon is seen flying in a cave (Inside the Exogorth's stomach)

3-40: The Falcon is seen flying out of the Exogorth's mouth.

Fat Mynock Pig
Attacks: None, except for flying around

Method to defeat: The player must defeat a wave of Mynock Pigs before fighting the boss, after enough are destroyed, the boss appears, and has more health than a normal Mynock Pig, but can sometimes be killed by Luke's lightsaber (Lower chance if Lightsaber isn't upgraded in Path of the Jedi). A few hits of blocks or a few strong strength birds can kill it.

Location: 3-40

In Star Wars
In Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, the Rebel Alliance were stationed at a hidden place in Hoth after the successful destruction of the Death Star. Nonetheless, the Empire was able to locate it and launched an attack in hope of capturing the Rebels. The Rebels mounted a strong defense, but were defeated, and the base was captured.

Trivia

 * When you play levels 4-40 in Hoth, if you detonate TNT crates and other explosives, the cave (Belly of the Exogorth Pig) will rumble and shake.
