Robot Spoofs Star Wars

Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, creators of Cartoon Network's Robot Chicken, will develop Robot Chicken: Star Wars, a 30-minute stop-motion animation special directed by Green for the network's Adult Swim programming block, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The special spoofs key scenes and characters from the Star Wars universe, including creator George Lucas, who will voice the animated version of himself. The special was made in collaboration with Lucasfilm.

Robot Chicken: Star Wars will also feature Mark Hamill as the voice of Luke Skywalker in one sketch, as well as a voice cast that includes Conan O'Brien, Seth MacFarlane, Robert Smigel, Malcolm McDowell, Hulk Hogan, James Van Der Beek, Donald Faison, Abraham Benrubi, Breckin Meyer and Joey Fatone. The special will premiere at 10 p.m. June 17 on Adult Swim.

Yeah I just saw this on CNN...I cannot wait.  Robot Chicken is one of the funniest shows to come out in a long time and the "Papa Palpatine"skit had me in tears......I will DEFINITELY  be setting up the DVR for this one.

The RobotChicken episode with the Palpatine on the phone with Vader following the destruction of the Death Star is the second funniest Star Wars spoof ever behind Triumph on line for EpII.

This could be the best thing ever since that thing that was better then sliced bread.
Call me cocky, but if there's an alien I can't kill, I haven't met him and killed him yet.

I read in an interview with Seth Green that the special will likely get its own DVD release.
