Star Wars Characters

''For information regarding the regular birds, see Birds. For the birds featured in Angry Birds Space, see Space Characters.''

Star Wars Characters are the characters seen in Angry Birds Star Wars. The birds are based on the Star Wars characters from the Original Trilogy, the trilogy that includes A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.



Luke Skywalker (Red Skywalker)


Red is Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars game. He uses a lightsaber in a spinning motion, similar to a shuriken to break blocks, as seen in a gameplay trailer. He seems to be more powerful than Red Bird was in Angry Birds. Name comes from the Angry Birds Online Shop.

Han Solo (Chuck "Ham" Solo)


Chuck is Han Solo in the Star Wars game. His ability is to shoot a lazer 3 times from his blaster based on Han Solo's. Name comes from the Angry Birds Online Shop.

Chewbacca (Terebacca)
Terence is Chewbacca in the Star Wars game. He can cause an earthquake as a side effect to his ability. He is bigger, and hairier than the normal Big Brother Bird. Name comes from the Angry Birds Online Shop.

Princess Leia (Princess Stella Organa)
Stella is Princess Leia in the Star Wars game, using a blaster as a tractor beam to pull over pig structures, blocks, and pigs themselves. Despite what her sprite sheet looks like she actually has a tail like the original Stella. Name comes from the Angry Birds Online Shop. She isn't playable yet, however she appears in cutscenes. She might be in the episode, Hoth when it is released.

C-3PO


C-3PO resembles Matilda. Its ability is to explode, splitting into 5 debris pieces — head, beak, torso, belly and tail — and float around, hitting Blocks and pigs.

R2-D2
R2-D2 is the Space Egg. His ability is to electrify pigs with a beam similiar to R2-D2's electrifying beam seen in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Obi-Wan Kenobi


Bomb represents Obi-Wan Kenobi. He can use the Light Side of the Force to push nearby blocks away and towards surrounding Pigs (Possibly the Force Push from the Star Wars universe).

Wedge Antilles
Wedge Antilles is the pilot of the Rebellion. It is known that the Pilots of the Rebellion are the Blue Birds. In the official gameplay trailer, it was revealed that the Pilots have the ability to be divided into three, just like in the previous 4 games with the Blues: Jay, Jake, and Jim.

Yoda
Yoda does not resemble any of the preexisting birds. It seems to be a new bird created specifically to represent the old Jedi Master.

According to art director Toni Kysenius, Yoda was originally based on the Blue Birds, but was redesigned to look more like a wise owl. He is not playable yet.

Jawas
Jawas are birds who love to do nothing but scavenging. They do not resemble any of the pre-existing birds, much like Yoda. It is not known whether they are going to be playable in the game, or whether they are only going to serve as supporting characters in the storyline. In the comic we can see a jawa bird holding the Eggs in a basket.

Millenium Falcon
The Millenium Falcon serves a role similar to the Mighty Eagle in Angry Birds Star Wars, as shown in the end of the gameplay trailer. It's not a mighty bird, it is a spaceship that shoots lasers at wherever you tap. It is implied that the Falcon undergoes the same "pay for # of uses" system, which has been used for the Space Eagle and Mechanic Pig in Angry Birds Space and Bad Piggies. It is piloted by Han Solo and Chewbacca. It is summoned by an egg.

Darth Vader (Lard Vader)
Darth Vader's role is played by an unknown pig or bird although, Rovio's stated they will reveal at the launch of Angry Birds Star Wars if Vader is a bird or a pig. Vader is the leader of the Stormtrooper pigs, based on the Empire from the Star Wars universe. He can move bricks around with the Dark Side of the Force in a Boss Battle. Name comes from the Angry Birds Online Shop.

Stormtroopers (Pigtroopers)
The Stormtroopers are portrayed by Minion Pigs in the Star Wars game. They serve as the minions of their commander, Darth Vader.

Unlike previous versions of Pigs of Angry Birds, who are known to sit still during levels, some Pigtroopers are equipped with blasters, which can disrupt the Birds' attacks. However, Luke's lightsaber and Obi-Wan's use of the Force can deflect the blasts and reach faraway objects or other Pigtroopers. Despite this improvement, the Pigtroopers are still unintelligent, as they will blindly shoot in a repeating pattern. If the player is skilled enough, he/she can turn the blasting Pigtrooper upside-down, allowing it to shoot its own fort and teammates, decreasing the necessary amount of Bird usage.

Five known variants have been shown:
 * Tusken Raider Pig
 * Normal Pigtrooper
 * Death Star Pigtrooper
 * TIE Fighter Pig
 * Imperial Officer Pig

Emperor Palpatine (Emperor Piglatine)
The King Pig takes the role of the Emperor. This is all that is known, currently. He is seen in a Google+ Hangout poster.

He appears to wear the King Pig's crown from the cartoons, rather than the crown from the actual preceeding games. Name comes from Pigtroopers description in Angry Birds Online Shop.

Grand Moff Tarkin
Grand Moff Tarkin is the Moustache Pig in the game. He appears in some of the levels in the Death Star episode.
