Continuing proof that GL isn't as dumb and misguided as some people seem to think. ;) He put a deal together 2 years ago with the Robot Chicken boys to do this animated series and it looks AWESOME.

Oh, GL is a savvy business manager of SW.  Don't think most people ever question that.  I mean you can buy chopstick lightsabers!  The guy knows how to make a buck!

I like the Animation, and I think the likeness on the Characters is pretty good. Looks like it will be fun.

Its Star Wars<Insert Anything Here>. Most popular things have a group that doesn't like it. Ignore it, that's what I do when it comes to things I like.

Oh I never thought he was dumb or misguided. He makes mistakes sure, but he has obviously good business sense, we've seen that with the original trilogy.

Hmm, so, I'm guessing this is going to be on Cartoon Network then?  The trailer doesn't say. Unless I'm missing something.

Not my cup to tea, never been into Robot Chicken, but I can see the appeal. Nice style to it, very detailed.

I really like some of the voice actors they got.  I hope this starts up as a regular series sometime.  Or maybe it will just be short videos on the web.

I thought the same as well Rico, that the voice actors were quite good. I knew it was not the original actors, but the voice representations captured the characters really well.

First thing I thought was this is such a crock of crap Robot Chicken did this years ago.... Then I saw that the RC boys are involved.

This won't be to everyone's taste and I understand why due to the obvious reasons but I won't jump into any park (hating or loving ) until I've seen a few episodes. 

On a different note I saw a short called Geordie Star Wars in which clips if SW were over dubbed with similar jokes.

Personally though I giggled during the clips so it's done it's job in attracting me to watching it.

Well, I love it. I find it cute and refreshing. I have CW as more serious SW and this for fun, I am a happy camper.

Man, I love this stuff.  The Obi-Wan stuff is really funny I think.  And that Lando-Greedo scene - perfect!

Totally loving it!

Yeah I'm confused about why people are saying this is like Robot Chicken with the funny parts removed, I think it's great.

LOL That last one with Obi-Wan, "oops its the cops" that killed me.

So is this a regular series soon? Seems like we are getting all the bet bits already?
