C&C - Robot Chicken - "Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode III" [12/19]

[Space Cadet]

The third and last edition of the RC Star Wars special airs tonight at 11:30 PM Eastern. Unlike the last two installments, this one is an hour long, so sit back and come along for the ride.

Can you sit through an hour of Robot Chicken? That question shall be answered.

I did a review for Nick and More. If you're interested you can read it here (http://www.nickandmore.com/2010/12/17/robot-chicken-star-wars-iii-the-force-is-still-strong-with-this-one/).

I thought it was pretty good, the second time I watched it. For some reason I enjoyed it more the second time.

The Clone Wars announcer :D

Is it odd this Anakin is less wooden than the one in the actual movies?

[TnAdct1]

No comment on the Star Wars take on on the Star Wars bit from Ferris Bueller?

[Fillet-O-Fish]

Oh my goodness that was the funniest thing I've seen on TV in forever. I loved Boba Fett in this, especially when he was drunk.

Ladle...ladle...ladle. Ladle. What a weird word.

[Kitschensyngk]

I could have done without Padme dancing suggestively in front of Anakin.

Other than that, it was pretty good.

[Scirel]

I thought it was really good, one of the Best RC's ever and I can't wait for it to reair.

What stole the show for me though was the commercial they made for Force Unleashed 2. It's so hilarious because it's true! XD

[Nel]

What was that gas station scene parodying? Because I know I've seen that in a movie or something before.

I didn't feel at any point like a full hour was too much. One of the things that I find about RC is that it ends too soon. I prefer to watch the show normally in 1/2 hour blocks rather having another show come on after 15 minutes. And so for a special like this, I really enjoyed it being a full hour.

Really? That was hands down my favorite part of the show.

[RockmanDash]

Too many funny parts to go pointing at, but I loved how they handled the Emperor and Darth Vader throughout the hour. Oh and the Council member getting pizza and finding everyone gone with the room wrecked made me laugh pretty hard, and I started laughing even more when you find out he now works at the Death Star Food area.

[90'sCartoonMan]

Ah yes, American Beauty + Wicked = Great framing device for Palpatine!

I thought just about all of this was hilarious.

[Beefy]

Going joyriding with the Sandcrawler was amusing, but not as funny as the skit with the AT-AT Walkers from the last special.

Jar Jar not as dumb as he looks? Was manipulating the Emperor all along? His evil laugh at the end, that was golden.

I forgot: Jabba choking on a T-shirt before Leia tried to strangle him, also good.

[Neo Ultra Mike]

Maybe this is just me but I found the first part of this special the best. When they were parodying the Prequal movies. It seemed they had a lot more matieral to work with (between Anakin not getting any of Padme's advances, the guy on the temple mad that only Mace Windu and Yoda say anything of importance, Palpatine being angry at Anakin for taking so long to decide on choosing the dark side thanks to him getting lighting blasted and then later mocking him for his defeat at the hands of Obi Wan and all the upgrades the Darth Vader suit gave him) and the Darth Vader/Palpatine bits after that were good as was some of the Boba Fett stuff but... really it feels like they had a lot more fresher material making fun of the prequal movies then they did the original trilogy. Yeah I know the RC crew has more love for the originals and obviously has probably seen them far more times and knows more about it but I don't know feels like they are really running thin on material for those skits (though I do like how a lot of the skits were actually fairly close together and flew into each other, like the guy selling fire insurance for Luke's family leading into the skit where the stomtroopers lite the house on fire accidentley). Also I still kind of wish The RC crew took shots at the actual Clone Wars cartoon (since Seth Green is actually a part of that toon) espiecally since MAD took their shot but still a fairly good special. I'm hoping they move onto something else though if they try more special episodes like this. Or maybe just episodes that center around one specific series or franchise to make fun of. You know have more of that mixed in with the episodes that spoof pretty much everything.

Zac Efron can actually act, that's the difference. XD

And yes, I nearly cheered out loud when I heard the unmistakable Tom Kane pop in for the Clone Wars announcer and Yoda. That made it even better.

This was pretty amusing except for the Padme sexually teasing Anakin skit, that dragged on too long and seemed pointless.
