With the release of Angry Birds Star Wars II comes incredible responsibility... To remember all of the characters, that is. As Yoda would say, "Do or do not, there is no try." The purpose of this guide is to provide you a one-stop reference to all playable characters found in Angry Birds Star Wars II. We put names to faces, explain their abilities, and hopefully answer a few questions along the way. Be sure to use the quick links below to jump between the Bird Side and the Pork Side.

Bird Side

Video Walkthrough

Character Video
Princess Leia <strong>(T)</strong>

Princess Leia (T)Gravity Pull

Princess Leia, similar to Padme Amidala, features a tractor beam. However, Leia's beam will pull at objects instead of pushing them. Makes you wonder if the two gals are related...

Our young hero from the original trilogy, Luke Skywalker wields a basic lightsaber capable of a single swipe.

Character Video
Luke Skywalker (Endor) <strong>(T)</strong>

Luke Skywalker (Endor) (T)Lightsaber, Double-Swipe

As his Jedi training progresses, Luke Skywalker is now capable of two swipes with his lightsaber. I'm no mathematian, but that seems like double the power!

Luke (Jedi) (T)Lightsaber, Triple-Swipe

With his training complete courtesy of Master Yoda, the full Jedi Luke Skywalker now swipes his lightsaber an unprecedented three times in quick succession!

Character Video

Pork Side

Darth Sidious

Darth SidiousForce Lightning

Darth Sidious, aka Emperor Palpatine, can conjure and direct lightning. It is particularly effective against metallic objects, such as chains. It has little effect on wood, however.

Character Video
Jango Fett

Jango FettSingle Missile

Jango Fett features a single missile that can be aimed wherever the user pleases. Be aware that both Jango and the missile are metallic, and thus heavily effected by magnets.

Character Video
Battle Droid

Battle DroidBlaster, Three Single-Shots

The Battle Droid carries a simple laser blaster capable of taking three quick shots wherever the user aims.

Character Video
Darth Maul

Darth MaulDouble Lightsaber

Darth Maul features his patented double-ended lightsaber, able to reduce most blocks to rubble in a single spin.

Character Video
Count Dooku

Count DookuBoomerang Lightsaber

Count Dooku's boomerang lightsaber is an extremely strong weapon. It is indestructible unless it contacts a permanent structure such as the ground. It has exceptional range and is capable of detonating any TNT that stands in its path.

Character Video
Droideka

DroidekaSpin Attack

Droideka can tuck into a tight ball, resulting in a spin attack capable of great destruction. Similar to Yoda, Droideka can pinball around a level and topple many structures at once.

Character Video
Zam Wesell <strong>(*)</strong>

Zam Wesell (*)Rope Swing

Zam Wesell has a grappling hook in her repertoire. This allows her to grab nearby objects and swing around them. The user must tap-to-aim the initial firing of the rope swing, then may tap again to release Zam.

Character Video
General Grievous <strong>(*)</strong>

General Grievous (*)Quadruple Lightsaber!

Quite possibly the most powerful straight-attack character in the game, General Grievous features an unprecedented quadruple lightsaber attack! No blocks stand in the way of this four-pronged fury.

Character Video
Anakin, Episode III (Sith Apprentice) <strong>(*)</strong>

Anakin, Episode III (Sith Apprentice) (*)Radial Force Push

The Force is strong with Anakin as he falls to the Pork Side. His ability pulls nearby objects closer temporarily before launching them with great power in all directions.

Character Video
Darth Vader <strong>(*)</strong>

Darth Vader (*)Radial Force Push

This is CNN. Oh wait, wrong voiceover line. Anyways, to avoid any spoilers, Darth Vader has an ability that bears an uncanny resemblance to that of Anakin. We can just leave it at that, shall we?

Character Video
Boba Fett <strong>(*)</strong>

Boba Fett (*)Double Missile

Perhaps the most beloved member of the Pork Side, Boba Fett features a double missile attack. Be aware that neither missile actually travels at the user-determined location. Rather, they travel approximately 10-15 degrees above and below that line.

Character Video
Biker Scout <strong>(*)</strong>

Biker Scout (*)Speeder Bike

The Biker Scout behaves similarly to Anakin with his Podracer. The Scout will follow behind the Speeder Bike, which can be redirected toward any other location on-screen. The Scout will tail behind, knocking down structures as he goes.

Character Video
TIE Fighter Pilot <strong>(*)</strong>

TIE Fighter Pilot (*)Blaster, Two Double-Shots

The TIE Fighter Pilot wields the most powerful blaster in the game. Capable of pulling the trigger twice in quick succession, each pull fires a double-dose of laser glory.

Character Video
Stormtrooper <strong>(*)</strong>

Stormtrooper (*)Blaster, Five Scattered Shots

The Stormtrooper is the typical bad guy minion who is absolutely incapable of hitting anything it shoots at. A Stormtrooper can five shots, but the shots are pretty scattered. Nonetheless, this can be useful if aiming for five different targets, I suppose.

Character Video
Red Battle Droid <strong>(*)</strong>

Red Battle Droid (*)Blaster, Three Single-Shots

Similar to its non-red equivalent, the Red Battle Droid fires three quick shots with its laser blaster, directed toward wherever the user aims.

Character Video
Hologram Darth Sidious <strong>(*)</strong>

Hologram Darth Sidious (*)Invisibility + Force Lightning

Hologram Darth Sidious, like his non-hologram equivalent, uses lightning to heavily attack metallic objects. The hologram effect allows him to pass through objects without touching them. Note that the hologram disappears after the normal ability is activated.

Character Video
Shadowtrooper <strong>(*)</strong>

Shadowtrooper (*)Invisibility + Blaster, Five Scattered Shots

The Shadowtrooper is a tweak of the Stormtrooper, as so fires five scattered shots. However, the Shadowtrooper can pass through objects, just like Halogram Darth Sidious. Note that the hologram disappears after the normal ability is activated.
