Robot Chicken: Star Wars (2007)

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The one big condition to enjoy this short film is that you're already a Star Wars fan in advance. It mainly consists of often unrelated sequences that feature most of the characters in a more volatile, everyday-person manner with struggles known to all of us. If you've seen the Star Wars movies, at least the old ones, and not enjoyed them that much, this one won't give you lots of pleasure. You need to know the characters, their quirks, relations and mannerisms to be fully able to get the most out of this viewing experience. I watched the Star Wars trilogy a while ago, but my reason for watching this is really more being an animation enthusiast. Of course, there are certain parts which make the whole film accessible to a wider audience, like the shamelessly liberal dig at (then-)President George W. Bush who got dedicated a whole couple scenes to himself (including a re-enactment of the epic light saber battle) or the earlier sequence with George Lucas meeting a complete Star Wars geek actually making fun of the target audience playfully.And even if you love Star Wars, there's still a possibility you won't be able to really appreciate these 25 minutes due to Green and the writers frequently reducing the action to the level of the Star wars characters throwing "your mother"-jokes at each other.

There's REALLY no words to say here. I'm so glad I saw this, it's just so LOL-hilarious. I ain't NEVER saw nobody make fun of Star Wars this way! I just gotta get this on DVD somehow. The funniest skit was probably the second one with the Vader/Emperor phone call. The Emperor just LOST IT on this dude!!! The 'Yo Momma' fight was great! George Bush's whole skit even the one with his daughter Jenna was OFF-THE-HOOK!!!! The fact that George Lucas actually appears in a skit in here (with his ACTUAL VOICE) was a big plus. That was a cool skit as well.Unbelievably funny! That's all.

Let's start with a little facts. Robot Chicken is a claymation minishow that parodies many popular events, celebrities, movies, and maybe even TV shows. Events may include political events, and celebrities may include Michael Jackson. Each clip created in this show may be hilarious, just a little funny, or other.Besides the annoying introduction with the staff and the annoying hip hop background music attempting to be cool, and the stupid clips and "cut" thing, this movie is excellent. This movie was created by men with the guts to attempt a Star Wars parody. Well, this attempt is successful, bringing in fans of the movie from around the country and probably world.This movie has no plot.I recommend this movie for Robot Chicken fans and for those who thought the first paragraph in this review or "comment" described a good show.

A must see!! I could not stop laughing, it's just so much fun to watch. You can tell that they really love their Star Wars! Everything looks like a direct copy but with a hilarious twist. From the attack of the ATAT's, where we learn that there are toilets aboard them, on to the phone call of "my favorite sith". The complete genius and fun with which this show is clearly made makes me want to see it again and again. And let's not forget the voice work, George Lucas himself shows us that he really has a sense of humor. Mark Hamill is Luke Skywalker. Lucasfilm helped with the sounds of R2D2, Chewbacca amongst others, so everything you hear is almost the real thing. Two thumbs up!!
