OMG, the two I've seen are hilarious. I'll search for them later. My absolute favorite is the Palpatine one where Vader calls after the first Death Star is destroyed. HILARIOUS!

Miasmo

^That one is CLASSIC!

"Oh geez. He's crying!"

EDIT: But I don't think this belongs in the fan film section. Maybe I'm wrong.

DarthSolo

I agree. I was confused to see it here. I thought I saw a similar thread in the "General Star Wars" section, but I decided to post in this one.

"What the hell is an alluminum falcon?"

btw, google video is pretty good for both clips of this show and full episodes. They're only like 10-12 minutes long. Fun stuff.

Miasmo

12-27-2006, 06:40 PM

It's pretty impressive how many guest stars they get on that show. Many times it's several per episode.

DarthSolo

Yeah, they got Mark Hammil to do Luke's voice for one, and had basically the entire cast of "That 70s Show" for a sketch about "That 00s Show" which was hilarious!

That OOs Show was pretty good.

I haven't seen much of RC, but the best was probably Justin Timerlake versus Britney Spears, so here's a link to Weasel Stomping Day:

Weasel stomping day is pretty funny.

"Robot Chicken" Star Wars-Themed Special
http://www.starwars.com/community/news/media/news20070424.html

Normally only 11 minutes long...
This will be an entire 30 minutes worth of Star Wars spoofs and references!! :happydance:

Robot Chicken is the only original programming on Adult Swim that, IMO, is worth watching

Sam Kenobi

05-17-2007, 05:42 AM

This is the only program on Adult Swim that I do watch. Kinda. The only one I know anything about, at least.

I'm excited for both this, and the Family Guy episode Blue Harvest.

Some parts were funnier than others but overall, it was really pretty good!

Yeah, some stuff fell flat... but others were cunningly brilliant fanboy satire.

I loved the poor janitor who kept having to clean up the falling bodies, LOL.

Janitor sweeping... two halves of Darth Maul hit the floor in front of him.
"I gotta get that transfer to Coruscant..."

Later, Janitor sweeping and dead body of Mace Windu hits the floor in front of him...
"I gotta get that transfer to the Death Star"

Even later, Janitor sweeping and Palpatine falls in front of him...
"Ah come on! What are they doing up there?"

Kapit

06-18-2007, 01:31 PM

Admiral Ackbar Ceral was, by far, the best sketch, just to watch him run in and yell "IT'S A TRAP!" and shove the bowls of oatmeal out of the way. I could not stop laughing after that

EDIT: If you use blogs and that, you can go to adultswim.com and get embeddable versions of all the sketches, or watch the entire episode for free too

Kapit

06-18-2007, 04:16 PM

My son liked the Jar Jar scenes where he takes Vader's helmet of and then later becomes the ghost.

Oh man, that Jar Jar sequence was too funny. The fact that they got Ahmed Best to come in and do the voice too was just too perfect.

Also, amazing mention has to go to the Boba Fett sketch, which ended so wrongly but we all know it's true.

Honestly, I don't think anything in this show feel flat. It really was just a laugh a minute riot of hilarity from people that know what they're talking about.

I love how Luke just smiles at the end of the bed sequence, that was killer

RollaFett

06-19-2007, 05:30 PM

Oh man, that was a terrific show! I couldn't stop laughing. My only gripe would be that it was too short! I know it ain't easy coming up with all of that stuff, but I'd rather they spent a little longer on it, and came up with a full hour. Oh well. maybe if they do a dvd, it'll have extra skits that didn't make it.
Oh, and yes, the Admiral Ackbar skit might be my favorite as well. I nearly spit out my drink when he runs into the room, "It's a trap!" :rofl:

My mouth dropped on that one.

Agreed. When it was over, I was like, really? Already? Wow.

My favorite sketch was the Space slug one.

"I nev'r get a spaceship, nev'r."

"Aww."

LOL!

Honerable mentions include Luke and Leia, Boba and Han, and Ackbar. But that's half the show. Anyways, this was incredible.

It was already 15 minutes longer than an ordinary episode of Robot Chicken, whatdayawant? I predict a sequel anyway.

RollaFett

06-20-2007, 05:18 PM

^ Eh. I don't care about how long Robot Chicken usually is, dammit.
"whatdayawant?" A friggin' hour. I thought I was pretty clear on this. ;)

kopernikuz

06-20-2007, 08:16 PM

I realize that, count on at least two more is what I'm saying... I predict Robot Chicken Strikes Back and Return of Robot Chicken are more than likely in the negotiation pipelines ;)

Nice avatar, btw. :lol:

Sam Kenobi

06-20-2007, 10:17 PM

I watched it again, on YouTube (it's there, just not on top) and I think I laughed harder then I did the first time. The only sketch I didn't really laugh that much at was the Palpy vs. Luke Yo Mama battle. But that's alright. It's still great.

Kapit

06-21-2007, 01:07 AM

oh no, no youtube! you can get almost TV quality on adultswim.com and starwars.com and not have to worry about it being legal at all!

Sam Kenobi

06-21-2007, 06:31 AM

True, true. Did anyone catch Seth Green saying go put it on YouTube before the commercials? LOL!:happydance:

RollaFett

06-21-2007, 03:47 PM

Since this is SW specific, I am moving it to the SW TV thread, and altering the title. Pray I don't alter it further.

06-21-2007, 04:44 PM

Ponda Baba was amazing. The whole damn show was amazing. It's the truth

Basill

06-23-2007, 01:21 PM

Pondo Baba was absolutely my favorite, followed by the Space Slugs. I also loved Empire on Ice. Seeing the troopers and the Imperial probe droid spinning around on skates, chanting to the Imperial March, was priceless. And Leia got to sing "scruffy nerf herder" as lyrics. It also reminded me of one of my favorite Star Wars Playsets as a kid. :)

Starwars Robot chicken was pretty funny but I can't wait to see Family Guy Blue Harvest. Now that will be funny.

Zedekk

01-17-2008, 06:33 PM

Well hopefully the deleted scenes will include the scene (the one scene I failed to record at C4) with Lucas at a psychiatric office talking about the episode (which didn't air during the episode) ... so I'm looking forward to that.
YES! I hope so I was looking for that one during the TV airing and was wondering if I missed it or something...

Well, on Saturday at Wizard World L.A. they mentioned that there would be many extras on the disc. And they are looking at realeasing it near the debut of the Clone Wars theatrical release.

Hey guys,

My name is Rachael and I am working in conjunction with Revolver, who are releasing the Robot Chicken:Star Wars DVD.

I know some of you already have it, but for any UK people on here (and those completists that want the Region 2 version as well) I'd like to give you a heads up on the UK Release. It's limited edition, and has a few extras that the US version lacks, including a collectors booklet and 3 bonus [adult swim] episodes!

Theres more info on our [adult swim] Facebook page here:http://www.facebook.com/pages/adult-swim-on-DVD/28807483626

including links to the cheapest places to get the Region 2 disc.

Feedback is really important to us, so if any of you purchase the R2 Disc, let us know what you think, does it compare well to the R1?

Many thanks,

Rachael

P.S Just to let you guys know, I've cleared this message with the moderators :)

Horse_Head

08-11-2008, 05:25 PM

Besides the collectors booklet and 3 bonus [adult swim] episodes (not Robot Chicken episodes), what ELSE does it include that's not on the R1 version?

Darth Darthy

08-13-2008, 02:26 AM

It's a 15 in the UK? Crikey, that's a bit harsh.

RevolverKid

08-14-2008, 06:45 AM

Hey, Horse Head.

The DVD has Limited Edition packaging, along with the extra features I listed before.

I understand that not all US fans will want it, but I thought I'd give you the heads up anyway :)

JediBendu

08-19-2008, 11:40 AM

Feedback is really important to us,

Your original thread labelled the show as a 'cheeky parody' - hardly!
It's humour is not cheeky, it's purile.
The show is not a parody, it's an insult.

Now, if Seth Green wanted to remake the entire Star Wars movie with the toys then that would be a cheeky parody, but Robot Chicken Star Wars fails as badly as Empire on Ice :cool:

RevolverKid

09-01-2008, 01:33 PM

JediBendu - I completely respect your opinion (and for giving me the feedback that I had asked for) but I feel that is open to discussion.

Do you feel that the Robot Chicken special is saying anything negative about the films? They certainly didn't offend Mark Hamill or George Lucas, who lent their voices to the piece.

And again, all feedback, negative or positive is very welcome.

JediBendu - I completely respect your opinion (and for giving me the feedback that I had asked for) but I feel that is open to discussion.

the opening gag is toilet humour - what more needs to be discussed?

Do you feel that the Robot Chicken special is saying anything negative about the films?

Robot Chicken doesn't pay homage - it takes the piss. Some find that humour to be appealing - unfortunately the dumbing down of society is beyond my control!

They certainly didn't offend Mark Hamill or George Lucas, who lent their voices to the piece.

Hamill is happy doing anything that pokes fun at star wars and GL is piggy backing on the publicity.
Besides, does the Robot Chicken dvd have an extended interview with Lucas or footage of the producers touring skywalker ranch?

And again, all feedback, negative or positive is very welcome.

oh I'm sure the dvd will sell well, I myself will not spend any money on it other than buying a rip off copy for £2 from a dodgy chinese girl at dalston junction :)
