Robot Chicken: Star Wars Trilogy


I'm going Off Script again, so to speak. Yes, it's TV, but it's based on the movies, so I'd ask the judge for a little leeway here. Oh, and they are available on Netflix (they may be available only as individual dvds).

Robot Chicken's Star Wars trilogy is one of the funniest things ever to grace the small screen.

For those who are unfamiliar with Robot Chicken, it's a short little TV show that pokes fun/mimics other TV shows and movies. Animated using only plastic figures (think GI Joe with the Kung Fu Grip) and voiced by the creators and sometimes celebrities, it's just a series of short scenes cut together. Each ranges from a second to several minutes long.

Obviously, the Star Wars trilogy is dedicated solely to poking fun at the Star Wars franchise. Surprisingly, they did get some Star Wars big wigs to lend their voices - like George Lucas, himself!

I thought I saw a box set collection of all three in a store, but you'll have to rent them
separately.

Rent! Laugh out loud! Enjoy! These are a Must See - For the casual Star Wars fan as well the obsessed!
 One of the best things about Robot Chicken is it caters to every sense of humor. There's something here for everyone.

Start with the first episode. Not because you need a chronological order. But it is the best.

Bonus Post Script:  Family Guy did a Star Wars trilogy too that are almost as funny as Robot Chicken. It's in story format, rather that skit. I recommend this, too!
