When Angry Birds Star Wars<\/em> was announced, great speculation hit the Internet. Fans of both properties wondered what characters would be included, fan art circulated the blogs and the merchandise hit store shelves before the game was even released.<\/p>\n

Angry Birds Star Wars<\/em> launched Nov. 8 with two episodes open for game play \u2013 Tatooine and Death Star \u2013 each with 40 levels to attempt for three stars. These episodes represented the major two locations from A New Hope. <\/p>\n

These episodes included the main characters from the first film: Obi Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca. Representing the Empire and the pigs are Imperial Troopers and Darth Vader.<\/p>\n

The mobile app also features a Bonus episode with droids R2-D3 and C3PO, and Path of the Jedi<\/em> also became available for a few extra dollars. This last episode is located in Dagobah \u2013 another major location from A New Hope<\/strike> The Empire Strikes Back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It stands to reason the initial release of the game focuses on the first film of the original trilogy. However, teased to come next is an episode themed around Hoth \u2013 the ice planet and location of the secret Rebel base that opens up Empire Strikes Back<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If the game follows its current pattern, the following episodes will be developed around major locations from the Empire Strikes Back<\/em>, including Hoth and Cloud City.\u00a0 Additional levels will most likely be updated into Path of the Jedi<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m guessing these new episodes will introduce Boba Fett and Lando to the roster of Angry Birds Star Wars<\/em> characters. I have two pieces of evidence to support this theory:<\/p>\n

In October, I tweeted about my anticipation for the new Angry Birds game and my hope to see Boba Fett translated into the application. Within 24 hours my tweet was answered by the verified Angry Birds account:<\/p>\n

\u201cWell there\u2019s a long future of opportunities ahead, so who knows,\u201d was the reply I received, along with a winky face. I took this as a hint of Boba Fett\u2019s inclusion and a reference to Rovio\u2019s history of keeping its games fresh by continually adding new levels and developing new characters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My second item of evidence is an image I posted a few days ago of Boba Fett and Slave I<\/em> being included in Angry Birds Star Wars<\/em> coloring book and sticker album. Whether this was an accidental inclusion or a purposeful nod \u2013 it confirms the bounty hunter is under development.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be interesting to see how fans of both franchises react to Boba Fett\u2019s introduction. Many pieces of fan art illustrated the bounty hunter as a bird, but these images surfacing in coloring books and sticker albums obviously show Boba Fett as a pig.
\nMost likely, this is because he will be the \u201cboss\u201d at the last level of the Cloud City episode \u2013 similarly to Darth Vader being the boss at the last level of Death Star<\/em>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
