Angry Birds Star Wars gets a new update today with Episode V: Hoth, now with 20 new levels, Princess Leia pink bird, and AT-ATs. What more could you want? Ok, fine. Have a couple extra bonus levels, too.

It is a dark time for the Rebellion. Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth. Unfortunately the evil Lord Vader discovers their hideout, and the desperate Rebel birds must escape the AT-ATs and Pigtroopers hot on their trail. But the Rebels have an ace up their sleeve with the debut of PRINCESS LEIA and her attractive new power!

In case you missed it last night, Angry Birds Star Wars (iPhone $0.99), (iPad $2.99) was released at midnight. Carter gave it 4 stars and noted "Angry Birds Star Wars may not come from a galaxy far, far away, but it does add some interesting new variations on the famous gameplay, along with plenty of Star Wars references."

Rovio has also released this killer cinematic trailer for the game.

Angry Birds Star Wars has been released for iOS a few minutes early. It's now available for iPhone/iPod touch ($0.99) and iPad ($2.99).

We've been working on a review and will have that out in the morning.

May the birds be with you.

Angry Birds have created a new Tumblr page to announce some sort of a Star Wars tie in. Could be a Star Wars level in Angry Birds: Space or could be a while new game. We will hopefully find out on October 8th, when the announcement is scheduled to go up.

Can games, like television shows, have spin-offs? I guess so. Bad Piggies from Rovio is now available for both iPhone / iPod touch and iPad. It's a physics puzzle game, similar to a mash up of Angry Birds and Amazing Alex. We'll have a full review up soon. Until then, here's a gameplay preview:

Angry Birds Space got a big update today adding a new level, the red planet, to honor the NASA Curiosity rover.

"We're huge NASA fans, and we were all cheering the Mars Curiosity rover as it touched down," said Peter Vesterbacka, chief marketing officer of Rovio Entertainment. "So, working together on the Mars update was a perfect fit, especially since we got such an amazing response to our previous collaboration, the 'Angry Birds Space: NASA announcement' video, which quickly surged to the top of 2012's viral video charts. We're thrilled to continue working with NASA. Stay tuned for even more great fun and educational content coming up."
