If you already played this one before you know all about Angry Birds Star Wars.  If not, the Rovio Mobile Ltd. has just launched the sequel for the game called Angry Birds Star Wars II for all three devices, the Android smart phones and tablets, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and Windows Phone 8. 

Angry Birds Star Wars 2 available for Free now for Android, and paid versions available for iOS and Windows Phone

The game play is just the same but only this time you can either play as a bird or as a pig.  Also the game now has a new revenue generation method called the called Telepods.  This Telepods are nothing but in-App purchases which enable you to buy the characters of the game.  The game becomes easy to play with these characters but can be pretty costly on your pockets.  By the way there are 30 different characters available through the Telepods.

The features of the game as listed by Rovio are 
JOIN THE PORK SIDE! For the first time ever play as the pigs! Wield Darth Maul’s double-bladed Lightsaber, or play as Darth Vader, General Grievous and other villains!
30+ PLAYABLE CHARACTERS! Our biggest line-up ever of playable characters – Yoda, pod-racing Anakin, Mace Windu, Jango Fett and many more!
TELEPODS! A groundbreaking new way to play! Now teleport your favorite characters into the game by placing your Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods* figures on your device’s camera!
BECOME A JEDI OR SITH MASTER! So many Bird and Pork Side levels to master, plus a bonus reward chapter and a ton of achievements to unlock!
SWAP CHARACTERS AS YOU PLAY! Switch characters in the slingshot at any time – yours to earn or purchase!
ToonsTV READY TO GO! The home of the hugely popular Angry Birds Toons animated series, plus many other top-quality videos!
Angry Birds Star Wars II also supports tablet devices, so you can unleash the Force on the big screen. May the birds be with you!

If you are the game for this one you can download it for free from Google Play for your Android smart phones and tablets.  Mind you the free version has lot of ads spilled all over the place.

Rovio is however charging $0.99 (Rs.60.00) from iOS users. The game requires any iOS device having iOS 4.3 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.  You can download the game for your iOS devices from Apple Store here.

Last but not the least, Rovio has for the first time made the game available for Windows Phone 8 simultaneously.  The sad part is that the Windows Phone 8 version is also a paid one costing $0.99 (Rs.60.00) and requires too much of hardware. It requires the following 
Xbox
phone identity
video and still capture
data services
HD720P (720x1280)
WVGA (480x800)
WXGA (768x1280)
However you can also install the game manually by downloading this file.  The game is playable on the Nokia Lumia phones having Windows Phone 8 OS.  To download this great game visit the WindowsPhoneStore here. Great game and great past time but please do keep away for the in-App buys!
