| Features:
| • | The warped minds at Adult Swim's ROBOT CHICKEN take their demented sensibility to the holy grail of sci-fi epics, STAR WARS, in this hilarious special. Jaws will drop as Luke Skywalker and Emperor Palpatine trade "yo mama" jokes, George W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln battle it out with lightsabers, and Darth Vader sobs on the telephone. But the show really hits its stride when riffing on |

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.

incredibly funny for all true fans of the Star Wars franchise. Lots of little references to obscure characters and scenes, very creative takes on the movies

Robot Chicken: Star Wars / B0012Q3T6S
I really love Star Wars parodies, and I've seen Star Wars skits on "Robot Chicken" that were truly funny, so I was excited to get my hands on their official Star Wars special episode.
There's a lot of good stuff here, no doubt. Some of the best skits are the longer ones - Han's stalling tactics in the Death Star jail block, for instance, is quite droll (although I did like the Family Guy - Blue Harvest marginally more, with 'Han' turning the stall into a radio advice call-in show), and the cantina scene (and background) of the poor alien who loses his arm to Obi Wan is completely hilarious. And who can forget the extended skit with Darth Sidious, taking Vader's call from his escape pod? Pure awesomeness.
For all that, though, the DVD is a touch expensive for what you're getting. Most of this is available in various forms online, and several of the really good Robot Chicken Star Wars skits aren't included here (presumably because they were done after the Star Wars special episode). Some of the skits are quick throw-aways, such as the "Luke and Leia in bed the morning after" ("That was so wrong...", she says) skit that, okay, it's kind of a chuckle moment, but not really that great.
I'm not saying you shouldn't see this movie - it's definitely worth a view, just that you might want to save you money and just look for a rental or online content until this come down to something more reasonable. The DVD extras, in my opinion, aren't really thrilling enough to commit to a buy, but more devoted Robot Chicken fans may feel differently.

Fate of the Jedi: Who Dies?
LOTF was definitely a kill-fest for favorite characters. Lumiya, Pellaeon, Ailyn Vel, Mara and Jacen all got offed by the end. And, of course, Chewie and Anakin and Vergere all died in NJO. So now I'm wondering: who will die in FOTJ?
