  This is a fantastic parody of the Star Wars films. Possibly the best. Robot Chicken is very fast paced but is witty at the same time. There is never a boring moment in this funny film for fanboys. The animation is amazing and overall its better than the Family Guy parodies.

  I've never seen Robot Chicken, but it seems like a fast paced sketch comedy. They certainly go for quantity over quality, which probably works in its favor. The jokes are short and sweet, as is this this Star Wars special. I really liked action figure animation, which easily… More
  I've never seen Robot Chicken, but it seems like a fast paced sketch comedy. They certainly go for quantity over quality, which probably works in its favor. The jokes are short and sweet, as is this this Star Wars special. I really liked action figure animation, which easily recreated the Star Wars world. There are some fantastic moments here, such as Jarjar and Vader meeting up, the Imperial officers pretending to die, and a janitor that always works on the bottom floor. Quick chuckles rather than belly laughs, it works due to its love of Star Wars, meaning the fun it pokes is always spot on but never cruel. A nice little watch.

  I love all of these one liners and 5 second shorts. They make my day.

  Robot Chicken is one of the most funny and creative shows ive ever watched and this star wars parody episode is a testament to it

  I thought this was really funny. I'm glad they didn't trudge through the whole film like many other spoof versions. The idea has been done before by British comedians Adam & Joe (if you're unfamiliar, you should check them out) but not as accomplished. The animation… More
  I thought this was really funny. I'm glad they didn't trudge through the whole film like many other spoof versions. The idea has been done before by British comedians Adam & Joe (if you're unfamiliar, you should check them out) but not as accomplished. The animation is meant to be crude but I actually found it to be quite impressive but most importantly, it is very funny - certainly not the Family Guy rip off that I was expecting.

  This was great! Little stop-motion animated Star Wars toys, doing funny little skits of their movies. About half of it was taken from the Robot Chicken TV Series, and not enough original stuff was made for this Star Wars special. The second special is even better. I liked the skit… More
  This was great! Little stop-motion animated Star Wars toys, doing funny little skits of their movies. About half of it was taken from the Robot Chicken TV Series, and not enough original stuff was made for this Star Wars special. The second special is even better. I liked the skit about Vader revealing his prequel achievements to Luke at Cloud City. The whiney Vader phone call to Palpatine's office ran on a bit too long; yeah, we get it. Overall, fun and satisfying.

  Funny, but not that funny.

• Conner R

  
  I thought this was a really well done, the comedy was perfect. The inside jokes from Star Wars are exactly the kinds of things that fans enjoy. In no way does it parody the saga, it just honors it with all of its flaws.

  Palpatine: [on the phone with Darth Vader] Vader! How's my favorite Sith?... Whoa whoa whoa... whoa, whoa. Just - slow down. Huh? What do you mean they blew up the Death Star? Fuck! Oh, fuck! Fuck! FUCK!... Who's "they"?... What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?… More
  Palpatine: [on the phone with Darth Vader] Vader! How's my favorite Sith?... Whoa whoa whoa... whoa, whoa. Just - slow down. Huh? What do you mean they blew up the Death Star? Fuck! Oh, fuck! Fuck! FUCK!... Who's "they"?... What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon? [later] Palpatine: What?... Oh, oh, "just rebuild it"? Oh, real fucking original. And who's going to give me a loan, jackhole, you?... You got an ATM on that torso Lite-Brite? Now get your seven-foot-two asthmatic ass back here, or I'm going to tell everyone what a whiny bitch you were about Padama-may or Panda Bear or whatever the hell her name is!... Better than the Family Guy episode - Blue Harvest, the usual 10-15 minute show, created by Seth Green, has been expanded to a full 25 minutes for a special episode devoted to Star Wars. For those unfamiliar, Robot Chicken is a show centered around the use of stop motion with mainly toys and action figures to create a variety of different sketches that are usually darkly humorous and very politically incorrect. The results of this episode apply mainly to Star Wars fans, but that being said, it is hilarious. Easy jokes and inside jokes combine to make one of the funniest Star Wars related media to hit a mass audience around. There is only one or two skits that I don't find infinitely rewatchable, but that's nothing when I'm laughing at everything else. Top it all off with a star studded cast, including even Jar Jar Binks himself, as well as some top animation for the show that this is, and you have a quality episode of Robot Chicken that equals hilarity. Luke Skywalker: Your overconfidence is your weakness. Palpatine: Your faith in your friends is yours. Luke Skywalker: Not my faith in yo momma... Palpatine: What was that? Luke Skywalker: I said yo momma's so fat, Jabba the Hutt said DAAAAAMN! Palpatine: Well, your mother is so ugly she put the 'ug' in 'ugnaught!' Darth Vader: Ohh, yo momma fight! [Cut to next scene. Luke and Palpatine are on stage in front of a crowd] Luke Skywalker: Yo momma's so stupid, she spent all day saying 'am not' to R2! Palpatine: Your mother is so fat, that Ben Kenobi said 'That's no moon, that's yo momma!' Luke Skywalker: Yo momma's so stupid, she thought Jar Jar came with pickles pickles!

  In a rather short review, let me just say that this is one of the funniest parodies of any film I have ever seen. Many of the skits in this special are funny as hell. From the 'Yo Momma' fight between Luke and the Emperor to the skit where Vader reveals major plot points to Luke, I guarantee you that there is no doubt that you will be unable to stop laughing. I reccommend all of the 3 specials focusing on Star Wars parodies. The one I reccommend most is the 3rd entry, a key reason being that there is, so far as I know, has no detailed full plot of every skit in the special because I assure you that it pays to not know what's coming at you.

  I'm a fan of Star Wars, but no fanboy. That's why this entertains me so much, because unlike other Star Wars parodies (especially the crappy Family Guy one), everything that happens here fits, to an extent, within the story that already happened. Like I already said, not being a Star Wars fanboy but a casual fan, they would have to go to extremes to actually piss me off. For example, I like the slightly racist character Jar Jar Binks, who is hated by many Star Wars fanboys (and I'm friends with a few of them), and he's portrayed positively in this, with the original actor playing as him and everything. Adding the Robot Chicken action figure claymation to the Star Wars characters makes them slightly larger than life, and at the same time turns them from the stereotypes they invented (which is why as 2-dimensional as they can get, no one complains about Star Wars characters not being complex enough) into human beings, who occasionally screw up. Boba Fett is revealed to be a closet homosexual, which could have been offensive, yet it's actually pretty funny considering how far it could have gone. Darth Vader isn't all that bad after all, and the Emperor, that evil twisted old man who shoots lightning out of his hands, turns out to be a pretty normal guy with some anger issues. He talks casually with friends, gets mad at Vader and then has to calm him down, and in a humorous twist on how he died in the films, gets killed by losing a "Yo Mama" fight with Luke Skywalker, which is by far the funniest part of the series. Even Star Wars creator George Lucas plays a part, getting chased down by a frenzied group of nerds and screaming "OH DEAR GOD" the whole time. The whole thing is hilarious, even with almost no knowledge of the characters. Since most people like Star Wars, you'll like this for sure, and you'll be laughing your ass off the whole time.

  It Was Funny! BUT - the damn thing is 30 minutes long! I feel bad for the fools who bought this thing. NETFLIX only for this bitch.
