Lando Bird mends his ways and joins the Rebellion in Angry Birds Star Wars

It's a good news day for those of you who can't get enough of those perpetually enraged birds.

After teasing a brand-new title earlier in the day, Angry Birds creator Rovio has just issued an update for Angry Birds Star Wars.

In version 1.3.0 of Rovio's Star Wars-themed physics-puzzler, everybody's second favourite rogue from George Lucas's sci-fi epic (Han Solo is #1, of course) joins the fray.

So, yep, you can now play as Lando Calrissian - sorry, Lando Bird. Quite remarkably, he can fire three lasers at once. Impressive stuff.

These aren't the droids you're looking for

Rovio has also included 20 extra Cloud City levels will all-new "flying steam vents" in this latest update.

If all that wasn't enough, Rovio has also decided to throw in some new bonus levels, fresh power-ups, and a brand-new boss fight.

So, if you want to fling some birds in a galaxy far, far away, you can buy Angry Birds Star Wars on iPhone for 69p / 99c [buy] or on iPad for £1.99 / $2.99 from the App Store [buy]. Or you can grab it for for free from Google Play [download].
