Is it still worth playing?
You launch birds from a slingshot to eliminate pigs, in this 2012 puzzle game from Rovio Entertainment made with Lucasfilm, with levels from the original Star Wars trilogy. They are set on Tatooine, the Death Star, Dagobah, Hoth and Cloud City, and use gravitational fields first seen in Angry Birds Space. The birds represent Star Wars characters with unique abilities. The red bird is Luke Skywalker and swings a lightsaber, the yellow bird is Han Solo and uses a blaster, and the black bird is Obi-Wan Kenobi and uses the Force. The pigs wear Stormtrooper helmets and fire blasters, and TIE fighters orbit planetoids in space levels. The game began on mobile devices and was later ported to consoles, and on the Wii U the display is split between the TV and the GamePad. A familiar slingshot is still easy to pick up.
