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.

very funny for Robot Chicken fans August 31, 2008
DVD was funny, using RC characters to parody Star Wars.
It reminds me of the Family Guy parody of Star Wars.
 Geek Hilarity August 30, 2008
This DVD has the entire Robot Chicken Star Wars special without the ads and thus without cutting out anything. I could go on and on about this product but mainly if you love Star Wars, pop culture and crazy clay animation, you need this in your collection. Two thumbs up and you will laugh every time you watch it. Also I recommend the Family Guy Star Wars DVD, Blue Harvest if you liked this one as well.
Your tongues can't repel flavor of that magnitude! August 29, 2008
I can't get enough of this DVD. The commentary is a little lame, but the main content is reason enough to buy it.
Robot Chicken Star Wars August 29, 2008
Love Star Wars, not so much Robot Chicken but this is hilarious take on the Saga.
Robot Chicken is still Robot Chicken August 29, 2008
What can I say? If you enjoy the antics of Robot Chicken's crew then you'll probably enjoy this DVD as well.
My only complaint is that I wish it was longer, a half-hour did not seem to be nearly enough...BUT, there is a bit of commentary on the DVD to watch as well.
Overall, I did enjoy the parody and look forward to future seasons of RC!
