October 09, 2012, 2:47 PM — Remember a few weeks ago when I declared that Angry Birds had jumped the shark (after it released its Philadelphia Eagles-themed game)? Well, it probably still has, but at least this time they've kept it within the geek theme.

Yes, I'm talking about Angry Birds Star Wars, which merges two huge franchises into one game that aims to basically take more money from my wallet. Here's the preview.
The game hits November 8, giving you enough time to play the game and practice before showing off to your family members over Thanksgiving.
