Overview

Angry Birds Star Wars is a 2012 puzzle video game developed and published by Rovio Entertainment in conjunction with Lucasfilm. It is an installment in the Angry Birds series, and is a crossover with the Star Wars franchise; it combines gameplay from previous Angry Birds games with elements from the Star Wars original trilogy, with several Angry Birds characters portraying Star Wars characters.

A crossover between Angry Birds and Star Wars was spawned during development of the previous Angry Birds game, Angry Birds Space, when its developers experimented with the concept of additional levels based on science fiction franchises. Lucasfilm was Rovio's first choice for companies to collaborate with, and the project went from a patch update to a full game. It first released for mobile devices and personal computers on November 8, 2012, before being ported to home video game consoles by Activision in late 2013. The mobile version was praised by critics, and was downloaded over 100 million times, whereas the console ports received negative criticism. A successor based on the Star Wars prequel trilogy, titled Angry Birds Star Wars II, was released in 2013.
