Robot Chicken: Star Wars

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!

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.

I've never seen Robot Chicken, but it seems like a fast paced sketch comedy. They certainly go for quantity over quality, which probably works in its favor. The jokes are short and sweet, as is this this Star Wars special. I really liked action figure animation, which easily recreated the Star Wars world. There are some fantastic moments here, such as Jarjar and Vader meeting up, the Imperial officers pretending to die, and a janitor that always works on the bottom floor. Quick chuckles rather than belly laughs, it works due to its love of Star Wars, meaning the fun it pokes is always spot on but never cruel. A nice little watch. September 12,

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.

Ha ha ha! That was the greatest Star Wars skit I've ever seen. RObot Chicken's the best. My favorites are when Jar Jar recognizes Darth Vadar being Anakin once and thinks he still is. And to the brief skit where Luke and Leia were in bed. "That was SO wrong". ::they're going' to hell!:: And I loved how they used those alien girls to finally do some dirty dancing. I would love for Robot Chicken to do some anime spoofing. I could use the laugh on some anime if they do that on Robot Chicken. Robot Chicken's the best of doing some skits like those. Keep up the good work, Seth Green.

Anyways, a 10 out of 10. ^_^
