Did you people see the same film I saw?

... View MoreThis was fantastic, crazy, immature and joyfully stupid/joyously witty parody on all things Star Wars. What's great is that you don't need to be a Robot Chicken fan (though I'm sure it helps) or even have watched it very much to decide either way. If you like your parodies quick and skit-like and random and sometimes just dumb as hell, Robot Chicken: Star Wars is something of a minor masterpiece in the form. Seth Green's collage of classic bits from the movie redone, and then lampooned from all corners (there' "Dr. Ball" featuring the big black orb that tortured Princess Leia, there's Admiral Ackbar cereal, there's George W. Bush thinking he's a Jedi and pitting his "mind-trick" on a WMD question, there's even a running "gag" involving Jar-Jar becoming a "ghost" torturing Darth Vader). There's barely a moment when I didn't laugh out loud, or find something actually really funny and creative in its wit and, as a fan of the saga, obscure bits that only people who've seen the film 10 or 20 times would get (i.e. that blue guy playing the piano at Jabba's palace pushing an album wit songs like "I'm not an elephant!"), or just obvious gags that only come on late at night (i.e. Luke and Leia in bed, "This is so... wrong.") Granted, it may take a certain sense of humor or just familiarity with the Star Wars films to get some of the gags- those who aren't keen on the prequels may not remember what midiclorians (sic) are let alone how the jokes lock in step in the show- but for those that get it, it's priceless. Only minor personal geek-type liability: no Yoda!
... View MoreHa ha ha! That was the greatest Star Wars skit I've ever seen. RObot Chicken's the best. My favorites are when Jar Jar recognizes Darth Vadar being Anakin once and thinks he still is. And to the brief skit where Luke and Leia were in bed. "That was SO wrong". ::they're going' to hell!:: And I loved how they used those alien girls to finally do some dirty dancing. I would love for Robot Chicken to do some anime spoofing. I could use the laugh on some anime if they do that on Robot Chicken. Robot Chicken's the best of doing some skits like those. Keep up the good work, Seth Green.Anyways, a 10 out of 10. ^_^
... View MoreThis special's not bad, loved the "yo mama jokes" clip, "pervert Bobba Fett", "Jar Jar" etc, but overall the episode wasn't the surplus I was hoping for. Mostly because out of the 26 minutes almost half of them are clips we've already seen, so since there's only about 13 minutes or so of new material I felt almost, kind of, maybe, a little, well, ripped off. But that's definitely too strong of a word, "Robot Chicken" is one of the best shows ever, and I'd be immensely happy to see the 3rd season come to life. I know the older clips are here simply because they're ripping on Star Wars too, but we've all seen them so many times before that they were really slowing the otherwise great pace. It's like stand-up comedy, once you tell a great joke on TV you really shouldn't repeat it again on a different show, it feels kind of cheap (at least to me). Better to come up with new material and make the show shorter. Ooooooor, make the show so much longer that the stuff you repeat doesn't overtake the new stuff. I guess THAT'S the point I've been trying to say: Robot Chicken guys, make your shows last longer!!!:)....But otherwise, this is great fun, and it really shows that these guys have a lot of devotion to the Star Wars world, they even convinced the high and mighty Lucas to help them out. Restecpa!Peace
... View MoreI was waiting for episode for almost a week already,and when I sat down to watch it I was excited.The first half of the show was funny,not as funny as I thought it was going to be but it was funny.I don't know why but with about 12min left or so it started running out of gas and it almost made me forget the first 18min of the show.The last 12min, I probably laughed once.So take it for what its worth but I actually thought giving this episode 30min was a great idea guess I was wrong.The only good thing that was good about last night is that it was a marathon,they gave reruns that still make me laugh so I could forget about this disappointment but of course after 2 episodes passed they gave the Star Wars episode again.
