In Angry Birds Star Wars, which bird portrays Luke Skywalker?

The story behind the answer

In Angry Birds Star Wars, the Red Bird portrays Luke Skywalker.

The 2012 crossover reimagined the original Angry Birds cast as characters from the Star Wars universe. Red Bird became Luke Skywalker, the central heroic character, and his gameplay abilities reflected Luke’s lightsaber combat. The pairing also made sense as a visual and narrative match: Red was the franchise’s familiar protagonist, while Luke was Star Wars’ principal young hero.

Other characters received similarly playful assignments. Yellow Bird portrayed Han Solo and used a blaster-like attack, while Black Bird portrayed Obi-Wan Kenobi and used Force-based abilities. The game’s pigs represented the Galactic Empire and other antagonistic figures, turning familiar Star Wars scenes into physics-puzzle levels.

A frequent source of confusion is the use of different bird variants in later Angry Birds Star Wars material. The question refers to the first Angry Birds Star Wars game, where Red is Luke. It should not be confused with Angry Birds Star Wars II, which expanded the cast and sometimes reused birds for different Star Wars characters.
