Angry Birds Star Wars for Windows 8 is the free Windows 8 version of one of the biggest mobile games on the market.

Angry Birds Star Wars for Windows 8 is a free version of Angry Birds Star Wars. Angry Birds is a game that caught some serious amounts of fans on mobile devices such as iOS and Android products, so it only seemed natural for the creators to want to bring it over to desktops and laptops supporting the Windows 8 Operating System. Through Angry Bird's success, there were many crossover opportunities that arrived to the creators, one crossover opportunity being one with the Star Wars brand name. Seeing this as a wonderful opportunity to bring two beloved things together, the creators accepted the offer by Star Wars and thus created Angry Birds Star Wars.

The gameplay stays true to the original Angry Birds game while also spicing it up with elements from the Star Wars series. In the original Angry Birds video game, you had to sling the birds into structures to defeat the green pigs scattered around the maps. The premise is the same in Angry Birds Star Wars, but the aesthetics are totally different. The birds come with lightsabers and every character in the Angry Birds game resembles one of Star Wars fame. You can also use the force while slinging the birds, giving the gameplay an exciting change of pace.

The game comes with over 200 different levels, and many other modes to play. Each level is a scene that is straight out of Star Wars, and it will entice both Angry Birds and Star Wars lovers. The video game is also family friendly and completely free.
