Angry Birds Star Wars II forces itself on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 8 devices today

After the success of the original Angry Birds Star Wars, which combined the popular, bird-flinging franchise’s action with characters from George Lucas’s beloved original trilogy of space-adventuring rebels, it’s not surprising that a sequel now finds its way to iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 8 devices.

Angry Birds Star Wars II plays much like its predecessor, but with characters and levels based on the prequel trilogy of Star Wars films. You know, the bad ones. Although maybe The Phantom Menace‘s terrible story comes off a lot better when retold with still images and wingless birds dressed in robes. Also, unlike with the first Angry Birds Star Wars, you may play as the villainous piggies (aka the Pork side).
