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 Review October 6, 2008
Dimitrios Giannoudas (Athens, Gr)
Robot Chicken was pretty funny and the only handicap is that it is was too short...Funny situations, exploring some really extreme what if scenarios from the Star Wars Saga. I think that Seth really did great work and I loved the doll animations.
Hilarious! October 2, 2008

I loved this DVD, although the feature presentation was super short...I was hoping for a little more length.
 Yes, but it's censored. September 24, 2008

I was so hoping this release would be uncensored. Instead we get bleeps where all the "naughty words" are spoken.
Thanks, moralists who don't even watch this stuff anyway.
Short, but great! September 18, 2008

Ah, "Star Wars"... nothing like "Star Wars"... nothing like "Star Wars"... nothing at all!
Fanboys everywhere should love this disc! Six commentary tracks, lots of behind the scenes stuff, and Jar Jar Binks being sucked out an airlock! What's not to like?
Well, the run time. At least when "Family Guy" did their "Star Wars" spoof it was 42 minutes. This one is about half that length. True, the show itself has half the run time of "Family Guy", but still.
Aside from that, all the sketches are great, you get George Lucas doing his own voice, Mark Hamil turning up as Luke and plenty of great moments tweaking the nose of the "Star Wars" franchise!
And am I alone in thinking I might actually want to see "Empire on Ice"?
Great fun September 14, 2008

If you enjoy Adult Swim and Robot Chicken, this is great fun. Fun is poked at everyone and everything. I love the scene where the dark lord gets a phone call and orders lunch. I have watched several times and find new things to laugh at each time, usually because I was too busy laughing at something else when I watched before and missed it. I have really enjoyed watching and think that I will for some time.
