Rovio, the group behind the Angry Birds games, released a photo showing a lightsaber-wielding bird. This undoubtedly suggests an Angry Birds Star Wars game.
The company’s Tumblr page, on which this photo was released, says
Times Square, New York, October 8th, 10am EST.
HINT: Head to Toys R Us at 8am EST!
Perhaps further details will be released then.
Later, some new Angry Birds Star Wars updates surfaced through a Fast Company. Apparently, a new game titled “Angry Birds Star Wars” will cast the iconic birds as Star Wars characters. The red bird will be Luke Skywalker. A listing on Amazon.de for Angry Birds Star Wars Jenga confirmed the yellow bird as Han Solo and the Big Brother bird as Chewbacca.
Angry Birds Star Wars Jenga is a game allowing kids to launch birds at a Pig-shaped Death Star. Numerous other toys will be released to support the game’s launch.
