When it came to selecting this week’s app of the week, GeekWire host Todd Bishop says there was one obvious choice.
“How could we not feature this one?” Bishop said, naming Angry Birds Star Wars the app of the week.
The new game was released on Nov. 8, and Bishop is a fan.
“You’ve just got to try it out,” says Bishop. “If you’re a Star Wars nerd and you even mildly like Angry Birds, you’ve got to at least try it.”
Bishop says it’s the Angry Birds you know and love, combined with Star Wars jokes and lines from the famous movies.
Players can blast pigtroopers and hurl wookies, and of course, the game compels players to “use the force.”
The levels are based on scenes and settings from the films. After a weekend of play, Bishop says he’s still on Tatooine, the home planet of Anakin Skywalker, and is eagerly awaiting his first meeting with Yoda.
The Angry Birds Star Wars app is available for purchase for 99 cents.
“It’s the kind of thing, if you download it,” says Bishop, “you’re probably not going to do much of anything else.”
GeekWire can be heard on KIRO Radio on Saturdays at 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., on Sundays at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Available anytime ON DEMAND at MyNorthwest.com.
