the old Jedi Master.

Stormtroopers (Pigtroopers)
The Stormtroopers are portrayed by
Minion Pigs in the Star Wars game. They serve as the minions of their
commander, Darth Vader.
Unlike previous versions of Pigs of Angry Birds, who are known to sit still during levels, some Pigtroopers are equipped with blasters and shoot lasers, similar to Han Solo's ability, which can disrupt the Birds' attacks. However, Luke's lightsaber and Obi-Wan's use of the Force can deflect the blasts and reach faraway objects or other Pigtroopers. Despite this improvement, the Pigtroopers are still unintelligent, as they will blindly shoot in a repeating pattern. If the player is skilled enough, he/she can turn the blasting Pigtrooper upside-down, allowing it to shoot its own fort and teammates, decreasing the necessary amount of Bird usage.

The Sand People AKA Tusken Raiders from Star Wars
Episode IV: A New Hope are represented by Pigs wearing the clothing worn
by them. They aren't too much of a challenge to kill as the structures they

their structure is usually enough to kill them when they fall to their death.

Minor Characters
Dr. Evazan
Dr. Evazan, who originally appeared in Star Wars
Episode IV: A New Hope alongside Ponda Baba. Evazan appears in the Cinematic Trailer as a
pig in the cantina who doesn't seem to like Red (Most likely because Red
accidently shoved Ponda into a pickle jar), same with Ponda.
Ponda Baba
Ponda Baba, as well as his friend Dr. Evazan, both
originally appeared in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. In the Cinematic
Trailer, Ponda and Evazan appear as pigs and don't seem to like Red (Most
likely because Red accidently shoved Ponda into a pickle jar, causing a pickle
to be in Ponda's mouth.) In the original
movie, Ponda's arm is chopped off by Obi-Wan. In the trailer, the only
thing that recieved damage from Obi-Wan's Lightsaber was the pickle in Ponda's
mouth, possibly censorship, or the fact that they have no arms, or both. He
appeared in a toy set along with Greedo.
Greedo
Greedo is a bounty hunter. He only apeared in a cutscene,
spying on Chuck Solo, and is then seen being shot by him, like in the movie.
Because he died of this in the movie, he may not appear again. He has appeared
in a toy set.
Jawas
Jawas are birds who love to do nothing but
scavenging. They do not resemble any of the pre-existing birds, much like Yoda.
They only serve as supporting characters in the storyline. In the comic we can
see a Jawa bird holding the Eggs in a basket. They have been seen in the
Cinematic Trailer.
The Imperial Guards
The guards of the Emperor can be seen in an Angry Birds Star
Wars image guarding Piglatine.
Two of them are on on either side of Piglatine
