Rovio Updates Angry Birds Star Wars II With New 'Rise Of The Clones' Chapter
Angry Birds Star Wars already completed its final battle against the Pig Empire last December. But the intergalactic battle in its sequel, Angry Birds Star Wars II, is far from over.
In fact, Angry Birds creator Rovio has just issued a new update to Angry Birds Star Wars II that heralds the arrival of the game's “Rise of the Clones” chapter.
“Rise of the Clones” calls on you to fight and fly through 40 new levels set in the ocean exoplanet Kamino and the city planet Coruscant, each with its very own elements. The new chapter also introduces the aptly named Last Chance Bird:

The new version of Angry Birds Star Wars II is available now in the App Store as a free update or as a new $0.99 download. The game is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 4.3 or later.
Inspired by the “Star Wars” movie prequels, Angry Birds Star Wars II lets you use the Force for good or join the Pork Side.
Angry Birds Star Wars II received its previous major update early last month. That update allowed gamers to mix things up by playing as the birds in the Pork Side levels or the pigs in the Bird Side levels. Also, it kicked off the Galactic Giveaway, challenging fans to play through the levels and find 1,000 hidden coins for use in the in-game shop.
