Golden Droid #6 (aka, Golden Egg D-6) is located on level 3-17 of Angry Birds Star Wars Hoth. The Golden Droid is in the extreme top-right corner of the level, well out of reach of any birds. Ricochet Han’s blaster off of the miniature tower high above the AT-AT and, with some luck, it can deflect into the Golden Droid. Once you hit the Droid, you’ll immediately be transported via hyperdrive to the bonus level. The video below contains two parts. The first part reveals the Droid’s location on level 3-17 and how to obtain it. The second part shows you how to pass Droid level #6 (D-6) with 3 stars.

might just be me, but the ‘X’ wooden block looks very ‘third dimensional’ when it fell
Shhhh! You aren’t supposed to tell people that I can access more dimensions ;)
sorry! ;) won’t happen again!
Manage to get the Golden Droid with the first Han. Just fire him as high as possible and his lasers will cut the bridge and ricochet off the structure at the top to hit the droid
@neptunepluto: Good job! I found it easier to clear the way and use the last Han to get the GD. Align the shot with the cross to make the ricochet more predictable. :)
Yep, this is how I finally got it. One bird after many many tries.
i have tried it so many times but still could not get the GD.
can you please further explain your approach as I did not quite get it. What do you mean by “cut the bridger”? many thanks.
This is the only GD left for me, thanks again.
Same path as video but fire just a little later. If you can get the golden shrapnel flying around, it’s a 1-birder.
This is far easier if you fire the first bird at the top structure. The idea is to leave a weakened structure – not knock it down. Waste the next two birds and ricochet with the final.
Just came here to post the very same thing-target first Hans on the wooden cross, leaving the metal upright slightly stripped away. Ditch Luke & Leia, use last Hans as video. Managed to hit the droid at third attempt.
@alo10w & @dg47 (Thanks guys, I would never have sussed this without your help!!
After trying the video approach countless times, this method got me through on third attempt.
THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU. Was very frustrated, been trying this one for ages. Either destroyed the structure (sometimes with the 1st Han) or couldn’t get the ricochet right. Aiming the 1st Han at the wooden cross did the trick, on the FIRST try doing that, got the droid with the last Han.
THANK YOU! so much. It needed to be weakened as such. I was getting so frustrated.
Thank you so much I finally got the droid thanks to this strategy.
@alo10w…Thank you oh thank you for writing “weakened structure” in your description. Between your post & Uncle$Chou’s mention of 3 sections (below), I finally got this one on my Android phone. I’d been missing this Droid & #8. After once again reading posts & watching video closely, it all came together & a few dozen shots later I had #6…. one more to go ; – )
@alo10w, @dg47 BIG THANK YOU for this strat – wasting Leia as well as Luke is key! I’m so happy, that wretched droid has been thumbing its nose at me for months!
This is what finally worked for me. Thanks!
I used the first Han to weaken the structure, and then the last Han to finish the job.
Much easier than trying to get Leia to remove the wood part, etc.
Plus I found it took all three shots to weaken the metal, so I could never get through with the first Han anyway.
After miss shoot Golden Droid so many times I watch a film, read some comment below. Catch 2 things: A. one shot is possible, B. to weaken a left wall. I know that is possible. I be micrometers from GD. And this magic one shot came.
After trying for hours, I finally got this droid. Thank you nest!
I got it with a 1-Birder, you just need to patiently wait for all the troopers to approach a confluence towards the center asteroid and launch your egg towards the center asteroid, then sit back and enjoy the fireworks.
@werewolf69, that’s easy for you to say, but at least I finally managed to unlock the silly thing. So, I guess that means I can restow the Advil bottle for a while!
@TruckDriver, And here I was waiting for you to hit me with a plethora of scientific terminology you like to write about all the time.
Well, it’s getting late, and my brain has already dropped a couple of gears in preparation for slumber. Perhaps next time, eh?
I still don’t quite understand the D-6 level but I guess the goal is to wipe out as many rotating bars as possible and of course, everything else. I got 86,920 by just following the vid. It was a 1-birder and the last mobile bot kept circling around until it hit a rock or something and then it exploded.
Argh! I’ve been trying to get the droid for days & I’ve tried both the video & using Hans to destroy the cross & then the metal & nothing seems to work!! Has anyone managed to get this on an iPhone? I’m using an iPhone 5 zoomed out & just keep missing :-((
Finally got into the droid level!
Look for the vertical metal piece behind the cross and vertical wood pieces. If the vertical metal piece has 3 sections with the middle section being hollow, then it can be done to get the golden droid by following the video, i.e., use the second Han. If the vertical metal piece has 2 solid sections, I don’t think the laser would ricochet toward the direction of golden droid. In and out of the game to get the desired vertical metal piece. I used iPhone 4. Good luck!
It’s still not working for me on both previous iPhone 4 and the new iPhone 5s. Everything is textbook until the ricochet. It’s not logical. Gun in left + metal on right = shot ricochet to the LEFT. Yet the target is on the right. I see the scores and watch the video and it goes against what little I know of physics. Maybe the first shot goes through the vertical metal, second shot lifts horizontal metal without breaking through and the third shot hits the perfect angle of the lifted metal to go down the far side of the mountain? That’s a whole lotta IF, Rovio! Thankfully the Nest is here. : )
A 0-birder is possible here, but I never get to it. I’ve left the level for a shower, and when I looked back, almost all carts were exploded.
@hidayat1999 have you reported this on the forum about unstable self collapsing levels..,@mvnla2 not sure if you were notified of this one..i haven’t tried it, just got here and saw post;)
I got the golden thing and didn’t even know it was there. I misfired the first bird, and one of the lasers got through to the upper structure. I’ll take luck over a complicated special level any day.
For those that have given up on the 1 bird attempt, 80150 is possible with 2 birds.
Self-destruction reported by @Burbman, who may set the record for patience, or else time with game running while otherwise occupied. Carts on lower left planet will rear-end and explode at ~5 min for ~12K; carts on upper left rear-end at ~10 min for total of 29 to 36K. Not clear if total SD possible. Please report observations in forum on self-destroying levels.
“Total” self-destruction possible, but so far only 73K.
@mvnla2 – I have moved on for now, but at least we know its there!
Oops dry @mvnla2 i should have read down farther..sorry slim..
@mvnla2 meant sorry not dry.;) * crawling back under my rock lol*
beautiful strategy to get the droid! thanks!
UGH!!! Can’t get the droid, soooo frustrating 2 days wasted seriously this is more luck than skill :-(
Ack… I’m becoming one of those people…unable to leave my house until I’ve captured the 6th golden droid. Argh…
For sure the video way is great! I tried a few different entrances but if you keep doing it the video way you’ll get the one erm droid to wipe em all out! It’s as always a rinse and repeat until you get lucky!!
Thanks for the “rinse and repeat”! It gave me a laugh when I was feeling the same way as @missm ( and others ) was/were with getting frustrated. I read your comment and the next try I got it!
What I learned is to make sure with the first Hans you do damage just a bit of the metal post. That lets you get the ricochet later instead of just breaking the metal.
@kimmiecv right. Video + rinse and repeat. There’s no other option
Any hints on the actual Droid #6 level as opposed to the Hoth level? I see 3* is 62k but the high is 89k – big difference with lots of opportunity. I’m guessing the video must be the only way? Maybe there are timing hints? Anyway, good luck for challenge day!
Hi @maiasatara I don’t have the highest of scores but seeing as there’s no tips here maybe this could help? Obviously the high 80’s are 1 birdies and they’re actually pretty easy to get but the scores vary. It’s all down to rinse/repeat luck IMO. I follow the vid method but wait just a nano second later before flinging. You don’t want him to hit the pig on wheels first. Missing the pig seems to throw more golden shrapnel into the surrounding area. It also….on most occasions….will catapult a TNT out of the left most planet into the revolving metal thingimigigs (technical term) ;) For the top scores I’m guessing these peeps got all or most of the spinning metal. GL!
@maiasatara, I hear you. Until a second ago, I was least improved of the most improved with a 2-birder for 77k. I just managed what’s been the elusive 1-birder for me, but only 82k. I actually flubbed the shot & split about 3/4 of the way to the gravity field instead of as on video. Four of the nine metal bars remained, hence the low score.
@mukistars5 & @peejaydee27 you are the only 2 with 89k, @catsnbirds, you’re 3rd most improved with 87k, so if any of the 3 of you can offer a suggestion as to timing or different aiming, we’re all ears.
Hi @justpast40 and @maiasatara. It seems that this level requires some precision angles and timing, but as usual, a lot if luck as well. As far as I can tell, the only possible high-score strat is a one birder. Fire just into the lower gravity field of the leftmost planet (I use the little stars as guides). I’ve found the best time to release is when the third outer metal “cylinder” just clears the bottom planet’s gravity field. If all is well Hans will pass below the cylinder as it flys by, and enter the gravity field. When he hits the storm trooper, wait a split second before activating. Hopefully you get a chain reaction. The same shot gives a wide range of outcomes and scores, which is where the luck comes in. You must blow all the TNT ai well as destroying the pig carts, and also as many of the circulating cylinders as possible. I’m still trying for the elusive puppy!! Good luck :))
Thanks for the details @peejaydee27. I do have another question, I’m getting C-3PO to slide under metal, edge along gravity field & hit or just about hit StormTrooper, but I’m thinking C-3PO is almost too far into the planet’s orbit when I activate, so here’s my question…
If we look at that upper planet as a clock face, at what time is C-3PO meeting Stormtrooper for C-3PO activation? Is it 7:00, 6:00, 5:00? Could it or should it be 4:00?
@justpast40 I used the following link as my aim point. There are 3 slabs rotating clockwise that you need to observe and prepare c3po to launch rather quickly. As soon as the tracking beam meets the midpoint of the 2nd slab, release c3po. Explode c3po just before it hits the TNT. Don’t be in a hurry to reset if there are pieces of c3po being pushed around by the carts. Sometimes they self-destruct. Depending on platform the aim point may be slightly different. Hope this helps.

Happy Earth Day!
Maybe this screen shot will help. Providing the outer cylinders pass by like I explained earlier, activate C3PO (not Hans – sorry lol) just after he touches the trooper. Should be close to the 2 central TNTs, which both must explode. If I used your clock face, somewhere between 4 or 5. Hope this helps :))

Sorry @justpast40 – didn’t include your address.
Most excellent flinging @peejaydee27! Thanks for the screenshot too. That might help me…(knocking on wood). Not getting C3PO to cooperate a lot tonight and now it is time for sleep as work comes way to early. Maybe I’m just finally getting ‘old’ – I used to stay up a lot longer into the wee hours playing Angry Birds, but finally realized that getting more sleep is actually a good thing. ;-)
I’m rooting for you to get the few more points needed for a puppy on this challenge! Go for it! You are soooo close.
Thanks @gypsybird. Played until the last minute (it ends at 10am local time here), and I never managed to get those last few extra points. As they say, always the best man but never the groom lol!! Ah well, next time maybe :))
Hang in there @peejaydee27. This one is sure to come up again and there is a new Challenge every day to have fun with.
Thanks @chiefbumpa, I’m not having any luck improving 85k, but I’ll try your timing
Thanks again @peejaydee27, I thought 4:00 – 5:00 might be too late, but it is where I was ending up, I’ll try yours again too
This isn’t my favorite level, and it looks like I’m not alone judging from the few people who improved on today’s challenge.
As was previously noted, if you let the level go for 5 minutes or so, it partially destructs. Unfortunately, I could find no way that I could use the partial destruction to any advantage.
I did fling some birds with @chiefbumpa ‘s aiming point and timing. I got several one birder’s with the highest one being just under my 87K score. So….unless @comex666 comes up with a video…….I’m done.
Wondering why this is a challenge again so soon, especially when it wasn’t very popular last time. I think you’re not very enthusiastic @stocktoad given your experience in July!
Well……@peejaydee27 You are correct! It took 3 months, but @comex666 DID come up with a video. Unfortunately, I still don’t like the level and although the video is fun to watch, I don’t find it fun to emulate.
many thx to @chiefbumpa and @peejaydee27 for pictures and all others with details.
not full speed, near the atmosphere, start when the line is in middle of second slab.
