Rovio Releases Angry Birds Star Wars [video]

Angry Birds Star Wars unites the most popular video game of this generation with the most popular film franchise ever. Such a high profile combo may trigger a gag-reflex in the throats of gamers and Jedis alike, and understandably so. Both have been thoroughly spurned by insipid tie-ins and cash grabs. But Rovio’s latest flies to the tender core of such cynicism and blasts it to stardust, with a payload of creativity, playfulness and reverence for the beloved sci-fi classic.
