Just found this article over at IGN:

Robot Chicken Star Wars Special

Of note:

"The Hollywood Reporter says that Green will direct the 30-minute special, which was made in collaboration with Lucasfilm. George Lucas will in fact appear in the special, voicing himself. In addition, Mark Hamill will voice his iconic character, Luke Skywalker, as he did on an earlier Chicken episode."

Totally looking forward to this! grin

Will the entire episode be Star Wars related or just mixed-in clips?

This should be great. Robot Chicken's Star Wars skits are hilarious, without resorting to just prequel bashing like some shows. That is so awesome that George is going to appear in it, he definitely has a sense of humor about his movies that most big time directors don't have.

I love when Palpataine tells Vader '...I love you too'

Is Robot Chicken a project by Seth Mcflare? The humour really seems like a family guy influence..

Close. It is made by Seth Green, who voices Chris and others on Family Guy.

Yeah, but he also voices Chris on Family Guy, which is why you get alot of Family Guy voice actors on Robot Chicken (and, by extension, Mila Kunis voices Meg, so you also have a bunch of That 70's Shows actors lending their voices often as well).

Except once a month when he becomes a werewolf instead.

Seth Green basically has a running gag about him that he's joked about himself, that he knows every single person in Hollywood. He's been acting since he was a very little kid, appearing alongside many "names" in the business. And since he's been a good actor overall (and one of the few child actors to not go nuts or lose all his money), he's earned respect from a lot of the "higher-ups" in the industry. And he also seems to be very well-liked in general, so when he calls someone up to appear in Robot Chicken, they often give him a big thumbs up. The show in general has a pretty strong underground following among celebs, much in the same was that South Park originally did when it started. It's amazing sometimes the people he gets to appear on the show.

They showed 2 clips- 1 is George Lucas in therapy, the other is Lucas on an elevator with the big glasses nerd character who freaks out for a second and then shows him his Tauntaun costume. Then Lucas gets off the elevator, but to his horror, it's in front of hundreds of SW fans at a conmvention, who then charge after him (including one really overweight slave Leia laugh ), and the nerd offers to help him escape, and so George rides the Tauntaun-nerd to safety on stage somewhere.
