After a mobile game becomes ridiculously popular, the next step is to produce a Star Wars version. That’s what Angry Birds did, after all — and that’s what Tiny Tower is doing now.
The official press release from Disney Interactive describes the new gameĀ Tiny Death Star, like this:
The Empire needs your help!Ā In collaboration with LucasArts and Tiny Tower creators NimbleBit, Disney Mobile introducesĀ Star Warsā¢: Tiny Death Starā¢, a new game for mobile devices.Ā Live life on the dark side and join Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader on a mission to attract Galactic bitizens, run intergalactic businesses, and build an all-new Death Star.Ā Construct uniqueĀ Star WarsĀ themed locations to attract iconic characters and species to your space station in this 8-bit style game. Ā Star Wars: Tiny Death StarĀ will soonĀ be available worldwide.
As much as the idea of Star Wars Angry Birds infuriates some of us beyond all compare, Tiny Death Star sounds like it’s got a lot of potential. For one thing, little 8-bitĀ Star WarsĀ characters are way cuter than those stupid triangle shaped birds. Secondly, there’s a lot more room for great in-references with each floor you manage. Hey, maybe one of them will be a cantina! We would like that a whole bunch.
