ROBOT CHICKEN: STAR WARS!!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! by kinanswer	Apr 25th, 2007 02:28:16 AM
Robot Chick is funny as heck on a pogo-stick. George can smell the cash from this one.
Lucas by Darth Melkor	Apr 25th, 2007 02:38:37 AM
Love him or hate him, he's a good sport.
I don't know about Robot Chicken... by dr_nerdikus	Apr 25th, 2007 02:40:57 AM
but having Hulk Hulgan voice a character in a Star Wars spoof - and Joey Fatone might sell it for me.
Its possible by loafmeat	Apr 25th, 2007 03:03:34 AM
that this will be funny, but the fact that Lucas is involved makes me wary. Everything he touches turns to shit... and stuff that was shitty to begin with become even shittier. Shitty.

yawnnnnnn
While i'm usually a skeptic... by Wldmk	Apr 25th, 2007 03:18:17 AM
...Robot Chicken is one of the most hilarious things on the tube these days and in ages, and some of the SW-related stuff they've already done (one of which has already featured Mark Hamill as Luke - small low quality clip here http://you tube.com/watch?v=fVFI_Ra68F0)h as been great if not brilliant, so i'm gonna break away from norm and say that this has high potential to turn out Fantastic... check http://you tube.com/watch?v=rfP90uJ12eQ for another one
Darkest sketch! Darkest sketch! by Varakor	Apr 25th, 2007 04:37:41 AM
Dude if you ever saw that piece which was from Palpatine's perspective post the destruction of the first death star... hilarious!! Seth and Co definitely has the potential to create something truly outrageous with this property, but damn only 1/2 an hour? That's gonna suck. One hour would be perfect. And I end it with this "Barrywhitus, Candleitus, girlexcitus" (meaning? Next should be a harry potter parody).
This is awesome... by tie3456	Apr 25th, 2007 04:39:23 AM
Some of the best Robot Chicken material is when they spoof Star Wars scenes. Who's they?? WHAT THE HELL IS AN ALUMINUM FALCON!!?!?
Robot chicken isnt funny. by knifeandfork	Apr 25th, 2007 05:07:17 AM
Robot chicken is shit. Its just in joke after in joke. The writers try so hard to appear pop culture savy that they forget to be funny.
Robot Chicken is what it is. by Boondock Devil	Apr 25th, 2007 06:11:57 AM
That is it's very hit and miss. Throw everything at the wall and see what sticks and I'd say a lot of it is pretty damn funny. Optimist Prime prostate exam? Most lobsided fights? Wonderfully funny stuff. And can't complain about it only being 30 minutes considering that the show's only usually 12-13 minutes long normally.
Better idea than 30th celeb by Dazzler69	Apr 25th, 2007 06:50:09 AM
Lucas may get some points for this.
So is this special gonna have new skits? by OneManHairBand ATX	Apr 25th, 2007 06:56:22 AM
...Or is it all previously aired skits spliced together? RC has done more than a few SW-related skits, and I'm betting that there may only be one or two new snippets thrown into a compilation. It's still a great idea, and I bet a DVD would sell better than any fanboy-made short film.
This sounds beautiful by johnnykool	Apr 25th, 2007 07:11:42 AM
I'm so proud to live in the same city as Adult Swim and work 10 minutes from them. I shall salute them as I leave work tonight. Seth Green can do no wrong in my eyes right now.
Star Wars with fart jokes... by KillDozer	Apr 25th, 2007 07:22:32 AM
I can't wait.
You Could Do An Hour Of Jar Jar and Mannequin Jokes.... by uss cygnus	Apr 25th, 2007 07:57:03 AM
And Still have room for a miniseries. You Could do an entire episode based on "Nooooooooooooooo!!" Alone. For the love of God.... "Execute Order 66." "Now, we KNOW Jedi have demonstrated a Spidey sense that can anticipate enemy ambush at close range, but let's ignore that for the Ep. III purge, and the scene where Palps can kill 3 Jedi council members in less than 15 seconds..."
So Lucas has a sense of humor... by Childe Roland	Apr 25th, 2007 07:57:58 AM
...tucked somewhere beneath that enormous chin? Who knew? I agree that Robot Chicken is hit or miss, very much like Family Guy or South Park (more like the former, actually). And, when it's "on" it's very much worth the investment of 15 minutes. The Peanuts Halloween parody ruled...as did the supervillain carpool and the Cannonball Run sketches.
how the heck does Green always get so much talent? by warp11	Apr 25th, 2007 08:51:32 AM
Seriously, it seems like every episode of Robot Chicken is a who's who of hollywood celebrities providing voices. After the first season of Robot Chicken, I thought it would be too witty and never catch - great to see that it did. One of the funniest shows on TV. Robot chicken works best in short 5 sec to 2 min shorts, will 30 mins of all one skit work? Hulk Hogan!
"Daniel-San, clean up on Aisle Five..." by SpyGuy	Apr 25th, 2007 09:06:14 AM
ROBOT CHICKEN deserves much love, if only for the "Enter the Fat One" sketch with Pat Fuckin' Morita.
It was better when... by meldy	Apr 25th, 2007 09:12:21 AM
Adam and Joe did it. Their Star Wars / TV parodies were hilarious. Of course, most of them reference very British TV shows. But along with their Toy Movie parodies - they have much higher hit rate than Seth and Co.
HULK HOGAN!!! he better be playing a baddie!!! by TheBaxter	Apr 25th, 2007 10:19:00 AM
"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering... BROTHER!!!"
Go for papa palpatine by moondoggy2u	Apr 25th, 2007 11:45:58 AM
"Woah, woah, woah. Slow down. What do you mean they blew up the death star? Awwww *k! K ****K!! Who's 'they?' What the hell is an alluminum falcon? Ahhhhhh..okay, so who's left? Are you shing me?!?! Well, where are you??? You've been flying around for two weeks trying to get a signal?? Eww, you must smell like...feet wrapped in leathery burnt bacon! Oh, oohh, excuse me, I just thought my 'Dark Lord of the Sith' could defend a thermal exhaust port thats only two meters wide! The thing wasn't even paid off yet!!! Do you have any idea what this is going to do to my credit?"
Haha, thats really cool by modlight	Apr 25th, 2007 11:50:36 AM
And I know it probably won't all be Jar Jar Jokes.
Can not wait! by erichaislar	Apr 25th, 2007 01:36:45 PM
This is going to be the best 30 min of crappy stop motion ever!
O'Brien AND Hogan!?! by Spicypeanut	Apr 25th, 2007 03:28:21 PM
WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE SITH AND THIS 24 INCH LIGHTSABER COME AFTER YOU, BROTHER!! God this is going to be fucking great. Especially if Conan is a baddie too.
Hulkster by polyh3dron	Apr 25th, 2007 03:53:06 PM
I find your lack of faith disturbing, brother!!
ENTER THE FAT ONE! by Squashua	Apr 25th, 2007 03:53:13 PM
Reaganomics!
Calvin & Hobbes Sketch by drewlicious	Apr 25th, 2007 05:58:47 PM
Laughed so much it actually hurt. "Space is AAMMAAAZZING!!!!'
Seth Green keeps giving me wood. by samsquanch	Apr 25th, 2007 07:07:41 PM
does that make me gay?
Who's on first? by Amy Chasing	Apr 25th, 2007 09:56:37 PM
if you hadn't got it by now, there ya go :)
people who don't like Robot Chicken don't get it... by lynxpro	Apr 26th, 2007 01:20:03 AM
Kinda like how that Doctor Who gag probably flew over most people's radar. The 4th Doctor, standing on the baseball diamond, asking "Who's on First?". I still say the Lindsey Lohan/Highlander skit was probably the best one so far...with the Palpatine one coming in second.
I take that back... by lynxpro	Apr 26th, 2007 01:24:04 AM
The Doctor (Who) didn't ask "who's on first". He was just standing on the base for a few seconds and then asked "ya get it?". My bad. Clever though.
uhh, coleslaw. I'm not even gonna eat it. by samsquanch	Apr 26th, 2007 02:40:58 AM
Oh, just build another one. Do you know how much that thing cost?
Robot Chicken & Star Wars... by Rendell	Apr 26th, 2007 10:44:57 PM
If this has the same kind of thought and creativity as the Palpatine/Vader sketch then it'll be 30mins of solid gold!
ROBOT CHICKEN IS THIS YEAR'S GREG THE BUNNY!! by 2for2true	Apr 27th, 2007 10:53:34 AM
We can only hope....
Nice! by MarkoOhNo	Apr 28th, 2007 03:55:37 AM
I'm anxious to see this. One of my favorite Robot Chicken/Star Wars sketches has gotta be this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =rfP90uJ12eQ
