I only caught up with Robot Chicken in reruns, so it didn't realize until coming here that it was a new ep. Good stuff as always.

I was able to get a screengrab, and it certainly looks that way. How'd they get this on the air?

Warning: Action figure wiener inside.

There was a Star Trek one a few weeks ago that was hillarious.

The Emperor Palpatine skit may be one of the funniest things I've ever seen. "What the hell is an aluminum falcon?" The show does have some dumb skits but what the hell, it's over in like 10 minutes.

Robot Chicken Star Wars spoof

Did anyone else see this on Cartoon Network? I only caught the later half of it but I thought it was hysterical, especially Jar Jar heckling Darth Vader, I mean Anakin.

Okay… I’ll be the dissenting opinion.

Other than the Emperor In His Office bit (which was a retread), it flat out sucked.

It reeked of Endorsed By Lucasfilm®. Overly reverential, with pulled parodic punches aplenty. (Say that three times fast.)

In all, a huge missed opportunity.

I missed this - Was this a special? Please tell me it is just one episode and not a bunch of little episodes.

Are they going to re-air it?

I only caught a few minutes last night and thought it was okay. I'd like to see the whole thing to make a proper review. The brief Luke and Leia bit near the end had me rolling, though .

The whole episode is on Starwars.com:
http://www.starwars.com/video/view/000510.html

I thought it was alright, but not liking the second season as much as the first, my expectations weren't too high.

Am I confused, isn't this like a year or two old? This is the 'What the *bleep* is an aluminum falcon!?' thing right?

According to the credits, George Lucas, Mark Hamill, and Ahmed Best all participated in making this one. I guess that makes it an official endorsement. Loved the Ponda Baba bit. You never truly knew what he was saying. Poor guy.

They reused that scene, but the rest of the episode was new.

Yep the cantina/Ponda Boba scene was great. The Jar Jar one was hilarious too. The learning how to act like you're being choked wasn't bad either.

I found it to be like most RC episodes - uneven.

No, the Luke/Vader 'That's Impossible!' spoof was old, as well as Jedi Bush.

I saw that Hulk Hogan was credited for some voice work... I must have missed his contribution though... which skit was it in?

Hogan was the voice of Abraham Lincoln (Err...George Washington if you go by what 'W' says)

Hey, I laughed. A lot.

Ponda Boba, hilarious. Dancing Lobot. The AT-AT driver on the crapper.

I watched it online Thanks kajs

It was funny - some parts were recycled, I like the cantena skit as well as the Conan late night show.

I thought it was funny. Certainly funnier than most SW spoofs.
