Angry Birds Star Wars HD Review

Oh, and the first two level packs chart their way through A New Hope, and the first level pack is teased planet Hoth, aka the opening scene from Empire Strikes Back. I'm looking forward to seeing the yellow bird get encased in carbonite because that would be funny.

But really, it shows that there’s actually some loyalty to the license, to make it fit as well as it possibly could, instead of just being a cheap cash-in. It also serves as a great integration of the standard Angry Birds mechanics with Angry Birds Space mechanics like planetary orbit.

I find myself of two minds with this game: Angry Birds feels like it's getting a bit old, but it does not feel like it's Rovio's fault. There may only be so much that they can do with the core gameplay and formula, but they're at least showing that even when they could get away with a quick cash-in, they're actually trying to continue to iterate.
