Using the hash tags #ComingSoon and #EscapeFromHoth, Rovio tweeted an image (above) of a sling-shot equipped millennium falcon. Putting two and two together, it looks like Rovio is planning an update to Angry Birds Star Wars. No details as of yet, but at the very least Android gamers can expect more time-wasting pig-slaughtering levels. Perhaps, as the image suggests, the rebellion will shift to an underground environment, but that’s just speculation. All we know for sure is Rovio is planning something.

The November 8th release date for Angry Birds Star Wars is fast approaching and Rovio has teased us with another trailer. This one gives us a much better look at what the game play will be like (SPOILER: you fling birds at pigs) and shows us a few more characters than last week’s teaser. The biggest crossover in casual gaming history looks like it will have everything we’d hoped for: light sabers? check! chewbacca with a beak? check! borderline incestuous birds? check! OK, we still don’t know about that one but there IS a Luke and Leia.

Fans of the Angry Birds franchise are no doubt aware that we are only a little over a week away from the release of the Angry Birds: Star Wars version on November 8th. Combining the two popular brands, Rovio is hoping it will have another hit on its hands.

In their latest video trailer, we get our first look at some of the gameplay unique to this version. The red bird, aka Luke Skywalker, is shown using a lightsaber to take out the piggies’ obstacles. Meanwhile, the Leia character, a pink bird, is shown shooting lasers on her arc of destruction. As far as locations, we see Tatooine and Hoth, which includes AT-AT walkers in action. Hit the break to view the video.

To give their upcoming title even more hype, Rovio has released a short teaser video on YouTube regarding their impending Star Wars themed Angry Birds title that’s due out to be released on November 8th. The video is short and the main thing you’ll see is a catapult on top of the ship.

I’m still quite curious as to how they will implement the Angry Birds game-play into Star Wars, but Rovio has never disappointed so I’m sure this will make their fans and Star Wars fans happy once it’s released. Check out the video after the break and see for yourself! Let us know what you think the video could mean and how they plan to combine these two completely different titles into one.

Whether you enjoy Rovio’s game titles or not, it’s clear that they sure know how to make money. Angry Birds has been such a huge cash cow for the company, and to bring it even further, Rovio has teased a picture of a Darth Vader looking costume that’s most likely fitted on one of their “Angry Birds.” While there’s not much information on this, Rovio is promising more details this Monday on October 8th.

What do you guys think about this? Any Star Wars and Angry Birds fans out there? If so, I’m sure this will be right up your alley.

It’s not the biggest price drop, but for the budgeted Star Wars fan, you can now pick up the Droid 2 R2-D2 for $200 on contract – $50 less then it used to be.  Usually the special edition phones stay at their original price, but it would seem that Verizon is really in the holiday spirit and decided to drop the price on their Droid 2 R2-D2 as well.

The geeked out Droid 2 comes with a special edition theme which includes custom Star Wars wallpapers, audio, and video.  If you want to see more on this phone, be sure to check out the R2-D2 Droid 2 site, and if you decide this is the droid you are looking for, pick it up over at Verizon.
