Angry Birds Star Wars coming October 8th
A teaser image has hit the internet suggesting an intergalactic union that'd make even Darth Vader crack a smile.
We sense a great disturbance in the Force – as if millions of voices squawked out in anger. Yes, Angry Birds Star Wars is coming. Lego Star Wars was a winner, so why can’t Rovio do the same?
There’s little more than this teaser image – tweeted by Rovio – to go on. An announcement will be made in New York on October 8th, so we can expect to hear some details of gameplay then – a reskinned version of Angry Birds Space, perhaps?
Keep your blasters close, midichlorians flowing, and beaks up – something huge is coming.

Re: Star Wars version of Angry Birds
Yep, there's apparently going to be a ton of merchandise (what else would you expect from a combination of Angry Birds and Star Wars? ).

Angry Birds Star Wars Comes Out November 8th
In what is perhaps the inevitable next step for the marketing juggernaut that is Angry Birds, Rovio has teamed up with George Lucas for the next installment in the Birds-Kill-Pigs franchise.
Angry Birds Star Wars, the company announced today, will be released on November 8th for iOS and Mac, as well as a host of other platforms.
Rovio is going all out with the marketing tie-in, launching a Tumblr page with fan art, wallpapers, and more.

- "This is the best Angry Birds game we’ve ever done. It’s the best parts of Angry Birds with all new cutting-edge gameplay set in in a galaxy far, far away," said Peter Vesterbacka, the Mighty Eagle and CMO of Rovio. "As a big Star Wars fan myself, I’m really excited about this new universe. The Force is definitely strong with this one."

Re: Star Wars version of Angry Birds
There's no details yet, so it may not include any Star Wars characters, but Rovio (the company that created the franchise) is planning a computer-animated Angry Birds movie to be released in 2016. They're also planning a theme park, and many other things ... looks like the CEO thinks he's Walt Disney or George Lucas.

Re: Star Wars version of Angry Birds
My daughter just love SW Angry Birds, a very clever move to obtain the interest of the younger generation, she has Angry Bird tea shirts, PJ’s, hat, teddy’s, toys, and my wife has even brought car seat covers! Well done Rovio to find another way to sell even more merchandise, although it is a little addictive.
