Robot Chicken: Star Wars

I've been hearing about this since it hit Cartoon Network last year and I just had to pre-order the DVD. I haven't laughed so hard in a while and I saw this right after I watched Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, which I would also recommend. Seth Green and crew have really accomplished something amazing with this 23 minute compilation and I am thrilled to own it.

I haven't really watched Robot Chicken other than a few clips here and there before this but I just may start. I was very impressed with the animation, even if it isn't that hard pull off, which it looks like it is, it still looks amazing. This episode is awesome, especially if you are a Star Wars fan and understand what they are referencing. I probably wouldn't recommend if you aren't.

There's REALLY no words to say here. I'm so glad I saw this, it's just so LOL-hilarious. I ain't NEVER saw nobody make fun of Star Wars this way! I just gotta get this on DVD somehow. The funniest skit was probably the second one with the Vader/Emperor phone call. The Emperor just LOST IT on this dude!!! The 'Yo Momma' fight was great! George Bush's whole skit even the one with his daughter Jenna was OFF-THE-HOOK!!!! The fact that George Lucas actually appears in a skit in here (with his ACTUAL VOICE) was a big plus. That was a cool skit as well.

Unbelievably funny! That's all.

having never watched an episode of Robot chicken,i wasn't sure what to expect.but i was more than pleasantly surprised at this parody of star wars.it' done in quick random skits that range from a few seconds to a minute or two,one right after another.most of them are hilarious.some are absolutely absurd.the skits don't follow the order of the movies.there are bits thrown in from basically all(or most) the episodes.i laughed frequently and loudly throughout.i thought the the voice work was really good.this special is about 20 odd minutes on DVD,so they cram a lot of gags into it.this parody is funnier than the Family Guy parodies in my opinion.for me,Robot Chicken: Star Wars is a 10/10

Like "Family Guy: Blue Harvest", this parody of everyones favorite trilogy is irreverent, satirical and lot's of fun to watch.

Seth Green, Breckin Meyer, Mike Fasolo, Matthew Senreich and the rest of the creative team do a fantastic job recreating some classic moments from the films, all with that unique "Robot Chicken" twist.

As a fan of the original Star Wars series - I can say, without a doubt, that these sketches do the movies justice (they sure made me laugh at loud!)...and it was over way too soon.

As a bonus, if you have the DVD, check out the Cartoon Network bumpers and spots that the cast and writers did to promote the series and the special...talk about funny. It's basically half an hour of a bunch of twenty-something guys playing with Star Wars toys and Nerf dart guns, just hanging out and having a ball...and getting paid for it!

This was fantastic, crazy, immature and joyfully stupid/joyously witty parody on all things Star Wars. What's great is that you don't need to be a Robot Chicken fan (though I'm sure it helps) or even have watched it very much to decide either way. If you like your parodies quick and skit-like and random and sometimes just dumb as hell, Robot Chicken: Star Wars is something of a minor masterpiece in the form. Seth Green's collage of classic bits from the movie redone, and then lampooned from all corners (there' "Dr. Ball" featuring the big black orb that tortured Princess Leia, there's Admiral Ackbar cereal, there's George W. Bush thinking he's a Jedi and pitting his "mind-trick" on a WMD question, there's even a running "gag" involving Jar-Jar becoming a "ghost" torturing Darth Vader). There's barely a moment when I didn't laugh out loud, or find something actually really funny and creative in its wit and, as a fan of the saga, obscure bits that only people who've seen the film 10 or 20 times would get (i.e. that blue guy playing the piano at Jabba's palace pushing an album wit songs like "I'm not an elephant!"), or just obvious gags that only come on late at night (i.e. Luke and Leia in bed, "This is so... wrong.")

Granted, it may take a certain sense of humor or just familiarity with the Star Wars films to get some of the gags- those who aren't keen on the prequels may not remember what midiclorians (sic) are let alone how the jokes lock in step in the show- but for those that get it, it's priceless. Only minor personal geek-type liability: no Yoda!
