Rovio updates Angry Birds Star Wars II with the Carbonite character pack for iOS and Android

Rovio has just updated its bird-flinging epic Angry Birds Star Wars II with a new character pack featuring eight classic Star Wars characters.

Or more accurately, a few classic characters, some puff-padding characters, a Kit-freaking-Fisto, and the single coolest Jedi Knight since basically forever.

The full list of characters reads: Carbonite Han Solo, Jabba the Hutt, Wicket the Ewok, Lando Bird, Royal Crimson Guard, Tusken Raider, red Clone Trooper, and the aforementioned Mister Fisto. Sir Fisto, actually... probably.

That's four pigs and four birds, if you like to make sure everything is fair and balanced.

You can try out all of these characters for free. And if you like what you see, you can earn some more or purchase them.

Or if you're a cool customer who likes showing her friends her mash-up toys, buy them all as Telepods.

Each of the new characters has its own set of new levels, too. So, you're not just getting Han Solo frozen in carbonite; you're getting things to throw Han Solo frozen in carbonite at. Which is nice.

The update is live in the iOS [download] and Android [download] versions of Angry Birds Star Wars II right now.
