Summary: fun
Comment: I really would like to be able to enjoy robot Chicken on a regular basis. Unfortunately they tend to go political and also make fun of Jesus a little too much for me. But that's a personal opinion and I know not everyone will agree with it. Suffice it to say I don't watch it very often any more.
That being said, Robot Chicken Star Wars is hilarious. I saw the Family Guy Blue Harvest special and just wasn't impressed. Robot Chicken's romp in the Star Wars universe, though, was fairly imaginative and clever. I really just couldn't stop laughing.
Seth Green and Co. are real Star Wars fans and it shows throughout this video. The only complaint were two sequences that were just less funny than the rest. One being the George Bush scene where he believes he's a Jedi. The main reason for it being not as funny is because it just went on for too long. I found myself wishing they'd just go back to the Star Wars figures. The other scene was the Boba Fett talking to the Han Solo in carbonite. While funny and portraying Fett as creepy it still just went on too long after getting it's point across.
The rest of it was even funnier than those scenes. But again, much too short. I know how hard and time consuming stunt motion capture is, so I'm just grateful we got what we did.
I'd buy it if I were you.

Comment: Between Blue Harvest and this - I don't know what makes me laugh harder as a spoof on Star Wars -that isn't a full length movie :)

Summary: Robot Chicken Star Wars.... Awsome
Comment: My title pretty much sums up my opinion. Absolutly hilarious, poking fun at the decades-old movie(s), and the fan boys who live and die by the words of George Lucas. Senator Palpatine sketch is an instant classic and should be seen by anyone who claims to be a fan of either Robot Chicken or Star Wars.

Summary: "It may look like a lot of wasted material"--co-creator Matthew Senreich
Comment: Well, there is a lot of extras on this disc which is good because the 22-minute show isn't much. The bad thing, though, is the extras aren't much either. They mostly consist of the creators and writers goofing around. The deleted scenes are just drawings with audio. This DVD was my first look at Robot Chicken. It was mentioned at the end of the Family Guy "Blue Harvest" episode, so I thought I'd give it a try. The format was not what I expected. It consists of unrelated clips hooked together that span all three of the early Star Wars films. It is not a straight parody like Family Guy. Some of the sketches are clever like the prequel to that creature who got his arm cut off by Obi-Wan Kenobi's light sabre in that bar, how Darth Vader strangles people without touching them, and GW Bush as a jedi. I like that "your mama's so fat, Jabba the Hut..." joke when Luke took on the emperor. There are also Star Wars-related commercials. Other sketches just were not funny to me and the extras, as I mentioned, aren't really worth it. The re-watchability of this show is very low.

Summary: For all the Star Wars Geeks
Comment: A wonderful program for the Star Wars fan. It reminded me of the times I would sit with my friends in high school and college, joking about all of our favorite films. This program took those goof-off sessions and made them a reality. There were several commentaries to enjoy as well from all sorts of different participants. My only complaints with this DVD are that the show was too short and that the menus were a bit more to manage than I like. Lots of clicking before I get to the show. Even though it is short, I have to give it five stars though for content and entertainment value.
