# Sci-Fi Mobile Game Mashups Angry Birds Star Wars is a Physics Game Infused with the Force By Wes Walcott | Published 2012-10-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angry-birds-star-wars References: [kotaku](http://kotaku.com/5949807/angry-birds-star-wars-arrives-on-november-8-were-not-making-this-up) & [angrybirds](http://www.angrybirds.com/) Venturing into galaxies far, far away, the Angry Birds franchise gets a heavy dose of sci-fi with the Angry Birds Star Wars clips. Looks like the wildly popular mobile game is set to attract even more fans thanks to a collaboration with [Lucasfilm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-hunters) that will introduce characters stories and settings from the Star Wars franchise to the world of Angry Birds. The game will feature all the usual pig-pulverizing projectiles, but this time they'll be presented with personas like Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca and other galaxy-saving rebels from the six Star Wars movies. "This is the best Angry Birds game we’ve ever done. It’s the best parts of Angry Birds with all new cutting-edge gameplay set in in a galaxy far, far away," says chief marketing officer at [Rovio Entertainment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iswii-angry-birds), Peter Vesterbacka. "As a big 'Star Wars' fan myself, I’m really excited about this new universe. The Force is definitely strong with this one." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sci-fi Mobile Game Mashups:** The collaboration between Angry Birds and Star Wars showcases the trend of combining popular franchises to create new gaming experiences. - **Mobile Gaming Crossovers:** The integration of popular characters and stories from one franchise into another highlights the trend of expanding the reach of mobile games through collaboration. - **Enhanced Gameplay Experiences:** The incorporation of cutting-edge gameplay mechanics in Angry Birds Star Wars demonstrates the trend of creating more immersive and engaging mobile gaming experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Mobile Game Development:** Developers can explore opportunities to collaborate and merge popular franchises in mobile games, attracting a wider audience and increasing player engagement. - **Entertainment Licensing:** The collaboration between Angry Birds and Star Wars showcases the potential for licensing agreements between gaming and entertainment companies to create unique cross-branded experiences. - **Sci-fi Merchandise:** The introduction of Angry Birds Star Wars brings new opportunities for merchandise collaborations, leveraging the popularity of both franchises among fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Empire-Themed Battle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-hunters.md) - [Sci-Fi Game Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-fortnite.md) - [Mobile Game-Themed Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iswii-angry-birds.md) - [Free Mobile Sci-Fi RPGs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relic-hunters-rebel.md) - [Spacefaring VR Adventure Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-beyond-victory.md) - [Collaboration Sci-Fi Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-casetify-collection.md) - [Remastered Classic Mobile Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rovio-classics.md) - [Alien-Hunting AR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taito.md) - [Collaboration Sci-Fi Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-oreo-cookies.md)
