Critic Reviews

Anton Bitel, Eye for Film
Often there is a concept that positively zings, but then has little follow-through.
James O'Ehley, Sci-Fi Movie Page
Short, but genuinely funny!

This sequel to the robot chicken parody of the star wars universe is still fast paced but isn't quite as funny. Its still genuinely funny enough to enjoy though which is more then I can say for other star wars parodies.

More fast paced sketches with a longer running time. I was a bit more accustomed to the humour this time, making it a bit funnier than before. Best of all is hearing the original actors pop by for a few sketches, especially Ahmed Best as JarJar and Billy Dee Williams as Lando. Getting to see Bossk do some super cool bounty hunting was a highpoint. We also see some sea dragons hoping to find more than just sand on tatooine. Vader reenacts the destruction of Alderaan using a muffin to tease Leia. You must be a Star Wars fan to get these jokes as they are even more esoteric than the Family Guy spoofs. Clever, silly, and a lot of fun.

It's good but not as funny as the first. I think the main problem is that the first one was such a novel idea it had quite an impact, after 2 years in the making I think most people were expecting something a little better. It's still good though!

Robot chicken was one of the most brilliant spoof shows of all time, let alone done by the comic duo Breckin Meyer, and Seth Green

It's neato seeing the little Star Wars toys in comic skits. You could tell this was made by real fans who grew up lovin' Star Wars - unlike the Family Guy Star Wars cash-ins. It's also better than the first Robot Chicken Star Wars, because there is more original… More
It's neato seeing the little Star Wars toys in comic skits. You could tell this was made by real fans who grew up lovin' Star Wars - unlike the Family Guy Star Wars cash-ins. It's also better than the first Robot Chicken Star Wars, because there is more original material and less taken from the Robot Chicken episodes. It was nice to see Boba Fett slaying some Ewoks, and the Stormtrooper taking his little girl to work. This one had more from the prequels too. The sunflower sketch with Anakin was a new classic. I'm looking forward to watching the third one.

the ewoks of endor are celebrating their victory over the empire and there is general joy throughout the land...and then Boba Fett pops out of nowhere and starts destroying the Ewoks. "HO HO MAN Boba's got himself a lightsaber now man Oh Wait I GOT 2! Red Plus blue what does that make PURPLE RAIN OHOHO YEAH oh man this little dude is trying to get away wait, what is this button do it says short range missile could it be? KABOOM" and that is how Robot Chicken Star Wars part II starts. this collection of shorts, needless to say, was absolutely hilarious. I was laughing all the time at this. my favorite scene was this one: Anakin walks into his step brother's farm house with his dead mother and Owen, Beru, and Padme are in a line looking solemn. then Owen Whispers something to Beru and she bursts out laughing. "what?" says Padme and Beru whispers it to her and she begins laughing as well. "what is so funny?" says Anakin and Padme says, "well, Owen was just saying...Guess this makes you Little Orphan Annie now" yeah pure genius. I loved every minute of this movie and I really hope that they make another one.
