Robot Chicken's finest half hour is more savvy than Spaceballs, more inside than Family Guy: Blue Harvest, and funnier, even, than The Star Wars Holiday Special. This Very Special Episode of Comedy Central's stop-motion animated series parodies and goofs on all things Star Wars, from a disgruntled Empire janitor to an ad for Admiral Ackbar Cereal ("Your tongues can't repel flavor of that magnitude"). Twenty three minutes goes by like the jump to hyperspace with such priceless bits as the collect phone call to Emperor Palpatine from Darth Vadar to inform him of the Death Star's destruction, awkward morning-after pillow talk between Luke and Leia ("That was so wrong"), and George Bush's newfound Jedi powers. Co-creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich and company immerse viewers in the Robot Chicken universe with generous bonus features, including storyboarded deleted scenes (with self-deprecating commentary), behind the scenes footage of animation meetings, and alternate audio takes. Good sport George Lucas, who gave his blessing to this episode, boldly goes where William Shatner went before by voicing himself in a Star Wars convention sketch that concludes with a Lucas-worshiping geek telling his son that meeting his idol was the best day of his life. What about his son's birth? "Not even close," dad replies. But you don't have to have that kind of devotion to Star Wars to be amused by this weather forecast for Cloud City: "Cloudy, followed by clouds." --Donald Liebenson.

- Robot Chicken Star Wars
I enjoyed this movie, but it is a little expensive for what you get.If you could find it for around $5.00 that would be a more fitting price.
Rating: - short
For the $, it is a very short DVD. but the content was good. But I still felt cheated on time.
Rating: 
- Too short, but still amusing to a degree
I bought this mostly on an impulse and I'm kind of wishing I had just rented it. The whole thing is about a half-hour long, and while there are some amusing commentary from the creators, voice actors and so forth, and a few 'unused' skits, the extras felt a bit lacking. I would recommend this only for star wars or robot chicken fans.

- Stop motion animation makes a cunning come back.
This waaaay too short collection of stop motion animation bits is hilarious.Darth Vader breaking the bad news about the death star being blown up to the emperor had me howling with laughter.And employee orientation for death star crew is done so well you'll go back over and over again just to catch everything.Star Wars fans will get a kick out it.
Rating: - Funnier than it has any right to be!
I was obsessed with Star Wars for most of my childhood years.The first film came out the year I was born, so by the third one I was already collecting the action figures (they still sit somewhere in a shoebox in my parents' garage, and they'd be waiting to provide me a fortune some day if I hadn't taken them out of the packages).As a result of this, Star Wars has always held a larger significance for me than most other film series.
Maybe that's why I find this set of skits featuring ... Read More
