In a distant galaxy, long ago... a group of rebel birds, facing immense odds, confronted a galactic threat: the Empire's villainous Pigtroopers!
From a secret base, these rebel birds launched a successful strike, securing their first victory against the nefarious Imperial Pigs. During this engagement, Rebel spies successfully acquired the top-secret blueprints for the Empire's ultimate weapon, the PIG STAR, and are now in a race against time to deliver these plans to the Rebel birds. They are in need of your assistance!
Embark on a grand adventure with the Angry Birds within the iconic Star Wars universe! Harness the power of the Force, brandish your Lightsaber, and obliterate Pigtroopers as you traverse an intergalactic journey spanning from the Tatooine deserts to the depths of the Pig Star, where you will confront the formidable Darth Vader, the Dark Lord of the Pigs! Can you rise to the challenge of becoming a Jedi Master and restore freedom throughout the galaxy?
