We reported yesterday on Rovio’s teaser that promised new content for its highly-acclaimed Angry Birds Star Wars game for Android devices.

Episode V: Hoth is heavily inspired from the Empire Strikes Back movie and comes with 20 new levels and two new bonus levels. In addition, Rovio also added a new playable character, a pink bird impersonating Princess Leia.

Check out the new update’s full description: “It is a dark time for the Rebellion. Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters has established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth.

Unfortunately, the evil Darth Vader discovers their hideout, and the desperate Rebel birds must escape the AT-ATs and Pigtroopers hot on their trail. But the Rebels have an ace up their sleeve with the debut of PRINCESS LEIA!”

Angry Birds Star Wars 1.1.0 is now available as a free download via Google Play store and it should be fully compatible with all devices running Android 2.2 and up. Check it out here.
