STAR WARS: ROBOT CHICKEN Arrives At Cartoon Network!!
I am – Hercules!!
Actor-writer-director Seth Green has concocted “Robot Chicken: Star Wars,” a 30-minute stop-motion animated Cartoon Network special which mocks scenes from the movie franchise. It premieres tonight on The Cartoon Network.
Green made it in collaboration with LucasFilm.
He got George Lucas to play himself and Mark Hamill to play Luke Skywalker.
Others lending their voices to the project include Conan O'Brien, Robert Smigel, Malcolm McDowell, Hulk Hogan, James Van Der Beek, Donald Faison, Abraham Benrubi and Joey Fatone.
Learn how Green and Lucas got together here.
Variety says:
... in many respects … more satisfying than the source material's recent chapters. … even in this lightweight diversion resides a lesson highlighted by Cartoon Network's animated "Clone Wars" shorts -- namely, that Lucas' fantasy has frequently sailed the smoothest when he takes a back seat and leaves the starship piloting to someone else. …
The Chicago Tribune says:
Anyone with a deep fondness for George Lucas’ “Star Wars” films should not miss Sunday’s episode of “Robot Chicken”…
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says:
… Even if you are not a total "Star Wars" fanatic, you will laugh hard at this special. I mean, milk- spraying-out-of-your-nostrils hard. …

Second!!!

Third!!!

Robot Chicken has grown on me seriously. Apocolypse Pony!
-
Third!!!
-
Col. you bastard, foiled me again!
-
Col. you bastard, foiled me again!
-
I wish the Star Wars property could somehow sue George Lucas and separate itself from him...
-
slipped past me
-
He sucks.
-
This has never been done before!
-
This will own the prequels' sorry asses. Despite LucasFilm's involvement, I may just check it out.
-
You know its true. Best would be JEDI.
-
Thisa special willa rocksa...
Meesa looksa forward to it.. -
It will be interesting to see if they rag on the prequels at all, considering George Lucas was willing to be involved.
-
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo, brother !"
-
No way is Jedi the best. Anyone with half a brain knows that Empire is HANDS DOWN the strongest film of the series. Jedi may be your favorite but it is in no way the best one. And the only thing the new three did was create holes in the original trilogy.
-
My Opinion... 1ST=EMPIRE....2ND=NEWHOPE....3RD=SITH....4TH=JEDI....5TH=CLONES....6TH=MENACE. But i will definately TIVO this tonite should be pretty damn funny!
-
Get your 12 foot asmatic ass back here, or i'll tell everyone what a little pussy you were when cried over edemame or panda bear or whatever her name is. Oh my god he's cring.
-
= As good as Empire
-
I heard about this a month ago and have been patiently waiting for it to appear. The Revenge of Joe Average!
-
And they all have chosen ORBIT gum. Here's why.
-
who did the voice of the Emperor?
-
When, dear lord, when?
I will be standing by for spoilers...post at will. -
More light-saber action than that one John Ritter movie with the glow in the dark condoms. Jengo Fett was cool, Lee was cool, and Yoda with a mutha fuckin light-saber is beyond cool. And for some reason the droid factory scene is my favorite even though it was thrown in at the last minute.
-
well teletoon are a little behind since we only got this recently, so i figure it might take a while before we have it. although since its a special and all, maybe it'll come faster because i remember being surprised how quicky we got the second volume of Clone Wars.
-
i'm pretty sure he was the voice of the emperor in that first sketch, i mean if you listen, it totally sounds like parts of brian and quagmire.
-
Robot Chicken used to show the new episodes on Friday (about 4 months later?) but now they are back in rotation. Maybe there will be something on teletoon's website... At least they are showing the Venture Brothers on Mondays and Fridays, which helped me catch up with that series. Went out and bought the DVDs last week to see the "behind the sceens" stuff.
-
Can't wait!
-
is pure true star wars. I dont get the hate. Ewoks aint too amazing, but doesn't exactly fuck it up. I say the final installment in each trilogy is the best. Jedi has EVERTHING at stake... and SITH also has EVERTHING to lose, and loses it! It dark... and the moment that Padme and Obi-wan arrive on Mustafar, the true tragic nature of the entire prequel trilogy becomes clear. Its fantastic. SITH should not be talked about in the same breath as Clones and Menace. I didn't HATE either of them, but SITH is way superior.
-
That one was golden..."Wait wait...slow down. They blew up the death star? Ah F***!!! Who's they?? What the hell is an aluminum falcon? Ok, so who's left? Are you f**king s**ting me?!" So classic.
-
Chew on that, bitches.

George Lucas as himself? This'll be the Kong of Comedy.
by thegreatwhatzit
I'm betting this will be as funny--if not funnier--than ABBOTT AND COSTELLO IN THE FOREIGN LEGION. George will have the good humor to goof on his unbridled greed...right? And how about a HOWARD THE DUCK in-joke, heh? (the Howard action figures & dolls that never saw the light of day). My sides are already splitting...
-
was the movie called Star Wars. so successful the creator of it said he's do nine in all. Two sequels in the trilogy, than another trilogy after that and a prequel trilogy. Well, he gave us the triligy, the prequels, two Holiday specials and the clone Wars cartoon show, so that's nine. He lived up to his part of the bargain. But everything else other than the movie called "Star Wars" was just a toy commercial. "Jedi" was a Muppet movie made to sell teddy bears. And the "Gremlins" dolls were cuter. It's true. People complain about The force being a genetic mutation in the bloodstream and Anikin buiding C3PO, but Darth, Luke and Leia being one happy family was as bit a retcon at the time. True you know it is to be. Star Wars was a great movie. Not "Part IV", not "A New Hope", just "Star Wars". And, obviously, this goes without saying, but "Han shot first." And forget self defense, he gunned Greedo down to get out of paying a debt. That's how bad-ass the real Han Solo was before he got sealed up in a giant chocolate bar. I am Boba Fett, the deadliest bounty hunter in the universe, I can only be killed if, oh, I don't know, if a blind man accidentally bumps into me. Yeah, that makes sense. Blind guys are like my kryptonite. Good thing I'm not a Daredevil villain.
-
"That's not true. That's impossible!" "And Leia is your sister." "That's not true. That's improbbable." "And Ewoks will defeat the Empire." "That seems unlikely." "And I built C-3PO." "Huh?" " And the force...that's just microscopic bacteria called midichlorines in your blood." "That's it. If you're not going to take this seriously, I'm leaving."
-
Says that there has been two new episodes airing Fridays on June 8 (Drippy Pony? Never heard of this one and it is not listed in RC's episode guide) and June 15 (Suck it), the first episode of season two. So it looks like there will be 20 episodes before we get the Star Wars ep.
-
No one gives a shit.
Also Robot Chicken is hilarious. -
Just wondering what plot holes you refer to?
Also to those who are mad about midcolorians or whatever the hell. I do think they're kind of lame, but I don't see why science and mysticism can't be intermingled. It happens often in science fiction worlds. -
Was just reading some of the Robot Chicken episode guide and I have personally seen all the way up to episode 38 in the second season, "Day at the Circus", which only leaves "Lust for Puppets", "Donkey Punch", "Book of Corrine" and the "Robot Chicken: Star Wars Special" that I haven't seen. Stupid canuck website. Take off, eh!
-
last friday was not a new episode and neither was the friday before that because i watched and was like "wait a minute, i saw this"
-
...ruined the prequels. I happen to like all of them and understand that it's supposed to play off of the Saturday matinee serials, b-movies, westerns and Kurosawa films. There's a lot of b-movie acting, which is intentional, surrounded by a lot of eye candy and spectacle, mixed with a little gunslinger-type action, war and samurai. For one reason or another, fanboys had this preconceived notion of what the prequels would be over the course of the long wait for them. So, when they were not what they had imagined them to be, they threw down and called them shit, which is totally unfair. They are all good films, in one way or another. They are what they are and be happy you got them at all. My point is, enjoy what you got and stop bitching.
-
'Nuff said.
-
It's not fanboy buildup or hype that ruined the prequels...it's the post-movie fanboy euphoria that is making SOME think they are still good movies. First of all, anyone that said that bad acting was INTENTIONAL is making shit up to support their cause. Lucas had ALOT of help with the screenplays for the original trilogy and it shows, since the dialogue in the prequels is god-awful. It's not intentional, Natalie Portman just can't act against bluescreen and Hayden is just made of wood. There is a VAST difference between the type of movies the original series was and the prequels...everything was changed and very little matched in tone. Having an amazing time at the theater is one thing, but when you go home and think about the fact that the entire reason that Anakin moved to the darkside was that out of nowhere voice over "Ya know, if I'm killed than you won't be able to save Amidala." I could SERIOUSLY go on all day about why we shouldn't have been expecting the same type of brilliance from a George Lucas that was not the young, hungry director of the 70's. He is definetely a marketing whore, but it made sence with the originals (he was trying to make the sequels w/o interference) but now he just does things 'cause he can. Shame. So...yeah, Phantom Menace was pretty much crap along with Attack of the Clones and I only enjoyed about 10 percent of Sith....shame.
-
I have not seen any of The 4400, but I'm fascinated in its premise. Should I start watching tonight, or will I be completely lost? Is there something I could read or watch that would get me caught up on the show?
-
I laughed out loud when I read that...And fanboy hype didnt tarnish the movies. George Lucas being too rigid is what it was. I am not going to say the series was ruined. I think that the argument about it having elements of b-movies, saturday specials, and kung fu films in there is a valid point but there is NO WAY anyone could convince me that they were intentionally acting bad. A lot of people want to hate on Hayden but I think his other movies prove he isn't a bad actor. Nor is Lucas a bad director. But just watch that one Star Wars special with interviews from Lucas and Harrison Ford where Ford talked about how both would get frustrated because Harrison wanted to think about his character and Lucas just thought it should come right out how it was written. All the stress of the fist one took its toll on Lucas so he got some help and just look how awesome Empire wound up being. Irvin Kirshner and Harrison Ford remade that whole scene right before he gets frozen summing up just how badass this series was. And this is the trilogy of all trilogies we are talking about so Lucas himself should have gone back and rewatched them a few times to take notes on things like who trained who and just how well Leia knew her mom. Hell, he could have just gone on a fan site and found the tightest knit prequel stories and paid some Star Wars junkie 20 bucks for it because it would have made some guy who still lives with his moms life totally redeemable. Lastly the whole medichlorines or whatever is just so done. Yeah science and spirituality is mixed in movies a lot but in this case it wasnt necessary. I am a spiritual person and have always thought that you could change the word "Force" to "Faith" and it would still make complete sense. You cant see it or touch it, there isnt a math equation for it. But you just know it is there. I think that is why the original one was so magic. Was that yeah it was a sci-fi. But none of it was ever explained. It was just all given to us and we dove right in with it. (On the same note but from the different side of the coin I actually thought of the comic run where Spiderman found out about some mystic powers relating to his sci fi side and hated it because I felt like that story never needed to be explained). Anyway, Ive rambled on way too long about this and need to get back to work but the bottom line is I can't WAIT to show my kids the original trilogy (widescreen VHS enhanced audio but no bonus scenes) and maybe when they are older just the special edition of Empire. But if they want to watch the new ones they will have to do that on their own time...
-
It did have its moments.
-
In a huge blow to Toshiba, Universal, and the rest of the HD DVD devotees, rental giant "Blockbuster has decided to stock only Blu-ray discs in the vast majority of its nationwide locations, although HD DVD titles will continue to be offered online and in the 250 (out of 1,450) stores that have been testing both formats since last year"
-
Um. Isn't Blockbuster going out of business? Or is their online plan working out better than I thought it would? Just asking, because I've seen two dead Blockbusters in DC in the past year, and it's not like they weren't in high-traffic areas.
-
I cannot control it.
-
...fat alien diner owner in Ep2, and he said George Lucas is good at selling toys.
-
this wasnt that funny. i dunno i'd rather that they use the props and make something with a plot. its not that hard to parody something, especially something like star wars so seth green really isn't that great. thats my oppinion im sure most people wouldnt agree.
-
in the very first scene that the stormtrooper was reading on the shitter? Naboobies...fuckin lawl
-
Seriously, he had permission to rip on all 6 movies and he wasted several minutes on lame-o Bush jokes? Bush not very smart, what an original take! He had a light saber so that counts, right? A wasted opportunity.
The bit with the cantina fight was classic, though.
-
... was that half of the show was old material. Sure, the "Aluminum Falcon" skit was hysterical the first thousand times we watched it, but I was really expecting more. I wanted 30 minutes of NEW material, not 15 minutes of old Robot Chicken material put in this episode because it had some relation to Star Wars.
I totally didn't realize that SO MANY people in the SW Galaxy fell to their deaths. -
All of the good stuff was from previous episodes.
-
Seriously, that's what all the hubbub was about? That? Oy. Good try Robot Chicken guys, but it really did not live up to that trailer.
-
Dancing Lobot has got to be one of the ten best Robot Chicken moments in its history.
-

Itchy & Scratchy:the movie with 47% new footage!
by projectionist-punisher
I hate that bush skit. Hated it the FIRST time I saw it, what a year ago? That 10 second "dawgbarf" video on G4 was better that that skit.
-
...and AT-AT guy on the toilet and the Power Converters at the Toshi Station. Otherwise, not that funny. Robot Chicken has NEVER been that funny. I don't know why anyone's expectations would be high in the first place
-
Poor dude in AT-AT.
-
Had some good laughs though, but Goooood what an annoying cutscenes with Seth and the bunch of them.
-
Jackie Earle Haley. Bad News Bears. Yup.
-
Just being annoying and shit but that was what made it funny. Still laughing about that one.
-
fucking love it. second would be empire and whoever says they dont like rotj, read this: SUCK MY FUCKING DICK.thank you
-
Jun 18, 2007 6:02:45 AM CDT
when does the family guy one air?
by supercowbell 4 cant stop the cowbell
im guessing like september?
-
I end up fast forwarding through more than half of them when I watch them now, and I barely ever watch them anyway. Jar jar was hilarious on Robot Chicken though, which means it's the first time he's ever made me laugh.
-
Beore this even aired! Crap, the best skit was the Emperor getting the call about the Death Star and I saw that weeks ago. I gotta love Breckin Meyer in these though, never thought I would ever say that ever. EVER!
-
...this did NOTHING to make me regret that. What a bunch of hair-palmed geekwad stupidity. ONLY funny line? "Yo mama so stupid she spent half a day saying 'am not' to R2!"
-
Saw it on the credits. Also they the only ones giving Joey Fatone work these days? Anyways when anyone complains about Jar Jar the jokes on them. Almost every single character in EP 1 either despise's or put's down Jar Jar in that flick. If they took him seriously it would be uncomfortable, but watching it again it makes me laugh as it did the first time. I think on the commentary even Lucas made some rips on him as well. Jar Jar is the galacitic punching bag. The RC was nice though, but too much OT. Any SW fag/fan in their 30's can do Vader and Solo jokes and post it on the internet. I wanted more prequel stuff, like Count Dooku, Grevious, and of course my favorite asian stereotypes the Trade Federation.
-
Sounds like your real gripe is with ROTJ, since 1-4 were issues before the prequels existed (actually, 1 & 3 were issues even before that.) Also, 3PO never told Owen his name. Just sayin'.
-
As a result of Lucas' involvement, Robot Chicken forfeited any sort of stinging satire. Nothing about the unprecedented marketing (exempting a lame and very safe "cereal" gag), nothing about Lucas tampering with the original trilogy (and milking business with repeated reissues), et al. There's a wealth of targets, especially Lucas' uncompromising commercialism: but instead of applying the bull's eye to Lucas, the writers inserted Bush jokes! WTF?? Jesus, no wonder Lucas participated in this sanitized homage. Any single episode of FUTURAMA is more poignant than this ass-kissing "comedy".
-
1 is boring though.
-
Best moment: Luke and Leia in bed together: "That was just wrong."
-
was the way they sat there like they were wiped out from the marathon effort of putting the show together. Way to mix in old skits with some new stuff, guys. Their intro was smug, self-congratulatory and useless, just more filler to round out the show.
-
Next to "Spaceballs". Meesa sure think so, Luca$.
-
I actually remembered to watch it, as I was really looking forward to seeing it. I must say that I was pretty disappointed. I have seen ten times better Robot Chicken episodes. Being this one was such a big deal, I was expecting it to be great or at least really good. At most, I rate it 2.5 of 5 stars. There were a couple funny moments, but the majority of the time I didn't crack a smile, much less laugh.
-
Uh, you're NOT supposed to try to put your dick into your 30 year old nephew's mouth Christmas Eve? Huh... Maybe THAT explains why I haven't been invited back to family gatherings at Christmas....
-
Overall, it wasn't a bad piece. Some skits really shined, but some were mediocre. Still love the Emperor's phone conversation with Vader about the Death Star destruction, as well as Jedi Bush. And surely most of us have personally experienced or known someone who has gotten into trouble at a bar because of a mouthy friend stirring up shit. I'd like to see Robot Chicken do special episodes devoted entirely to other movie or TV classics.
-
What's up with that? I didn't understand half of that. And the rehashed skits. WTF?
The Orientation was the best part, besides the Aluminum Falcon...."Pretend that you are choking, getting out of breath..." lol
-
Mike Nelson from MST3k has a site that basically does MST stuff, but on new, more current movies. He and Kevin Murphy (Tom Servo) watched Episode I and II. They watched II with Chad Vader from Youtube. I HIGHLY recommend them. They tear them apart. Ep. I is worth it if only for the podrace sequence. www.rifftrax.com
-
Agree with you, 100% As evinced by the opening, you would have thought Green and Co. just wrapped a marathon Frank Herbert trilogy. It was really a lame clip show--and one that was so damn timid that Lucas applied his own impramateur. All gags, no satire (or risk the wrath of George)--it was about as biting as a Hallmark card. The network has really screwed-up this year, e.g. planting promotional cylinders in one city that were mistaken as terroist devices...releasing an Adult Swim movie that tanked (haven't seen it)...but this STAR WARS hype was the worst transgression of 'em all! No guts.
-
Disco Lobot ruled, I enjoyed the Cantina scene from a "different" perspective, the orientation was funny (but more so because it was referenced later by having officers in beards and mustaches), and the Aluminum Falcon scene is funny every time I see it. Yeah, it would've been nice to see more new content, but I ain't going to complain about something I get for free. Oh yeah, the Power Converters at the Tashi Station was pretty funny, took me a second.

"1) Yoda and the Emperor completely disappear for EPISODE IV, and Yoda isn't even mentioned by name.:
Yoda is IN HIDING and PRESUMED DEAD twenty years ago. The Emperor isn't necessary in Episode IV for any reason.
2) Padme is never mentioned AT ALL in the entire Original Trilogy, and Vader never references her when confronting the Emperor in ROTJ.
And what do you want? You want Vader to say "And THIS is for Padme!" when he throws Palpatine over the edge? Luke and Leia don't remember her (the "real mother" Leia is remembering is Bail's wife, not Padme) and there's no reason to bring her up.
3) Yoda hides on Dagaboah, Leia hides on Alderaan... but they fuckin' give Luke to the Skywalkers on Tatooine? And have him keep the Skywalker name???
Too few people caught the whole idea to this. Dagobah hides Yoda because of a lot of Dark Force Energy (the cave) which makes it so the Emperor can't sense him there. Leia is NOT as strong in the Force as Luke, and thus was never sensed as a Skywalker in the first place. Luke and Ben are on Tatooine because it, too, has a heavy Dark Force presence from the time when Anakin slaughtered the Tuskin Raiders, and because it's in the one place in the galaxy that Vader has no desire to ever visit again. Keeping the Skywalker name on Tatooine is kind of like keeping the "Nguyen" name in South Korea. No Big Deal.
4) The Force is supposed to be strong in both Luke AND Leia, but they never realize that they're brother and sister?
They never say the Force is strong with Leia. They say the Force runs strong in their family, but Luke is still the one who matches or exceeds Anakin's power levels. Not Leia. This is why she was trained as a diplomat and why Obi-Wan went to be near LUKE, not Leia.
5) Ben turns into a total mind-fucker: "You're father wanted you to have this when you were old enough." Read: "I just happened to pick up your Dad's lightsaber after I chopped off his legs and arm. Here ya go!"
This is no different than half the backwards cultush behavior of the Jedi Order. Luke was fed a lie his whole life, and to tell him all in one swoop "Oh, by the way, your father was actually my apprentice, turned evil, killed your mother, and I had to take him down but he survived and became the most evil man in the galaxy-- Here's his lightsaber." would have knocked Luke on his ass. Kenobi was trying to be subtle and get Luke to go to the Force through hope, not revenge.
5) Uncle Owen doesn't remember C-3PO AT ALL??? He still has the name C-3PO, for fuck's sake!
C-3PO is not his "name", but his MODEL NUMBER. There are THOUSANDS (or more) C-3PO units in the galaxy, from thirty years ago at that point. He's no different than an old car or toaster. If you saw a Ford F-150, would you think it was the exact same Ford F-150 your stepmom owned 25 years ago? Droids are THINGS, not individuals, and they are mass-marketed. Unit designation can be unique, but in C-3PO's case, he was a busted, wrecked C-3PO protocol droid that Anakin found in the junk, and put back together with a few new pieces. He wasn't original, unique, or special beyond being allowed to exist for a long time without a memory wipe (which causes droids to develop personality quirks).
Say it with me: C-3PO is not a name. It's a MODEL NUMBER. That's all. You could walk into a droid shop and find a whole stack of them, I'm sure. -

Doesnt anyone here ever let themselves just enjoy life
by howaboutanicecupofgofuckyourself
Gawd, it was pretty funny y'all. It's like the show owes you money or something the way you hate on it for not amusing you enough. Made me laugh. What's not to laugh about the Emperor on the phone with Vader talking about Panda Bear or whatever she was called (puts hand over phone 'omg he's crying!!" to Sith buddies listening in, proceeding to make 'wanker' hand gesture while soothing Vader. That's hilarious. Han Solo cryogenically frozen getting bitch-talked by Boba Fett? (god help me if I got the wrong Fett there.) Seriously, if you didnt like it, who gives a fuck. It was funny. Chewbacca walking up to the bathroom mirror with a comb and going"hrrrrr?". High-larious you cunts.

by saying nobody cares about such nit-picking trivial meaningless points about Star Wars plot-gaps but then you answered him with a 3000 word essay. I guess that's two of you that'll be getting laid tonight, because women just cant get enough of star wars geeks like youz guyz

by howaboutanicecupofgofuckyourself
There are THOUSANDS (or more) C-3PO units in the galaxyFor that sentence alone you should be taken outside and beaten with a shitty stick in front of hot women
-
Including the new single "I already told you I'm not an elephant." Personally my favorite part of the show.
-
Is it just me, or are journalists starting to sound more TBers?
-
Do you think Hitchcock would have tampered with THE BIRDS because he could insert CGI footage to substitute for an inferior technology?
Do you think Orson Welles would have tampered with CITIZEN KANE, perhaps appending deleted scenes or colorizing the film to capitalize on reissues?
Do you think George Lucas would--oh wait, he already did.
As for the gutless ROBOT CHICKEN; it was more of a valentine than a satire (Seth and Co. thanking Lucas for his participation. Wow, that's undiluted Ken Russell bravura). Sucked. -
howaboutanicecupofgofuckyourself. That was the seriously the funniest thing I've ever read in talkback.

Yeah the Emporer skit was rehashed, which was the funniest, and so was the rehashed vader/luke skit....But damn if the walrusman, or snaggletooth who ever, skit wasnt funny as hell...so was Ackbar cereal, yo mama skit, people falling to their death, han solo caught in a lie skit,...BUt where were the Lando skits, and more solo skits...
-
There were some funny bits, butthe orientation was hilarious and well done. I'm gonna see if that whore'll give me a poke.
-
I don't care what anybody says.
-
...and it's still goddamn hilarious.
What's up with some folks thinking the whole thing needed to mercilessly rip Lucas in order to be A) funny or B) considered satire? -
But there is also much that is just cringe worthy and very un-funny rehashed jokes we have heard or seen done better countless times before. When they are on their game however I nearly piss myself laughing.
The Ackbar cerial commercial and the part with Luke and Leia in bed were golden IMO. -

I forgot about that walrus guy in the cantina sequence
by howaboutanicecupofgofuckyourself
That was hilarious, I was laughing so hard at the "He doesnt like you" part and he's all "NO!! I didnt say that!!What are you doing??"
Then the poor cunt gets his arm cut off trying to explain his mental friend making shit up. I was laughing my ass off at that and fuck all those haters that are only happy when Lucas is being insulted. Sums their mentality up considering every one of the slackjawed pasty-skinned 40 year olds have seen the films 1000 times each -
Maybe 7 good jokes. Which is 7 more than any Family Guy ever.
-
IT'S A TRAP!

The "Power Converters from Toshi Station" was great.
by flim springfield
Overall though, fairly hit and miss.
-
Why are you hating on "Family Guy"? "Robot Chicken" was quite entertaining, though, quite entertaining indeed.
-
And having A. Best record the voice!!! The show made me laugh.-----later-----m
-
Just posting this in every SW talkback. Star Wars - Complete Saga http://tinyurl.com/yug838
-
It should have turned into a Q & A gone wrong, like the scene in Chasing Amy "Whats a Nubian?"
-
That's the one I couldn't figure out. My guess would be the Vader revelation scene. "Look... if you're not going to take this seriously... I'm out." Hilarious.
-
With a chance like this and they run some of the old ones again. A couple of good ones and a few that should've been stopped at the storyboard. Best was Hoth Pooper and Cantina mix up - dumbass ending tho'. And, you give Bush the green saber? WTF with the Star Wars on Ice??? To go out on that one? I give it 4 out of 5 meh's.
-
LUKE: "But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters." OWEN: "You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done." This Robot Chicken special put a new, funny twist on this infamous dialog. But there's one obvious joke that the show totally failed to address: Who fired first -- Han or Greedo?
-
Yeah Beyotch

There was more realism and drama in the Smith/Neo fight in the original "Matrix" than Obi Wan/Anakin and Palps/Yoda put together. "My name...is NEO." Trumps "I HATE YOU!" any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The PT substituted CGI for plot, story and character development every chance it got. Mannequin Skywalker Lives.

He didn't have the balls to show Anakin wasting kids...and somehow, Jedi, especially Jedi Council members who have spidey-sense level precognition of danger and imminent attack can't detect drone like clone troopers levelling their weapons at them and cut their frickin' heads off like Yoda did with relative ease? PLEASE. Get me something off the top shelf in a large glass with ice, please.

Did any one else notice that several of the longer on clips were repeats. Like when vader called Palpatine, Vader explaining to Luke he was his father & another one I can't remember at the moment. I enjoyed the ep but would have appreciate all new material and not some new stuff and some old stuff.

Mark Hammill did the voice of Luke Skywalker in every sketch.
My personal favorite
Construction Worker: "Look, I don't tell you how to....threaten your blonde kid, so why don't you just let me do my job." -
I would watch a movie with all those slackers and smartasses. "I'm going to unload on you while you host." Then he shots him with the nerf machine gun. Thought that was funny.

He played such a zero in the Garfield movies it took me aback to see him act goofy.

but fuck, the new bits were funny, and I don't even smoke dope.
