Rovio Adds 20 New Levels To Angry Birds Star Wars With Escape From Hoth Episode

A new update out today for Angry Birds Star Wars adds 20 new levels to the game for free, via the new Escape From Hoth content pack. It brings new types of enemies via the “mynock pigs,” and adds another boss fight into the mix as well as new bonus levels. I don’t know how close to canon this is, but it looks like fun and it’s a free extension of Angry Birds gameplay.

The update is available for iOS and Android versions of the game currently, though it doesn’t appear to have percolated to the Windows Phone or BlackBerry app marketplaces yet. If you’re like me, this probably means that at least part of this afternoon is a write-off. Why can’t you exclusively drop these updates late in the day on Friday, Rovio?
