6/19/07 addendum: starwars.com has posted the entire Robot Chicken: Star Wars Special to their video site. Check it out (click on "Humor & Pop Culture to open a list of viewing options for the Robot Chicken special) and be sure to watch for some of my favorites:
- all of the Emperor/Vader telephone conversation ("what the hell is an aluminum falcon!?")
- Admiral Ackbar cereal advertisement ("your taste buds can't repel flavor of that magnitude!")
- a blink-and-you-miss-it explanation on what (or who) Luke was really whining about picking up at Tosche Station
- Lobot dancing to Meco's disco version of the Star Wars theme
- Boba Fett taking advantage of Han's function as carbonite-encased captive audience
- and yeah, the Emperor vs. Luke "yo mama" fight was pretty funny too
[original 6/15/07 post:]
Tune your tube to Cartoon Network for Robot Chicken this Sunday at 9pm central. Why? Star Wars spoofage baby - done right and done with the blessing of George himself. Mr. Lucas even laid down voice track for his character in the show. And Mark Hamill joined in as well.
