TV Discussion Robot Chicken Star Wars: Episode III (DVD Out Now!)

WHOO-HOO!!! Can't wait!

I just hope that there's more stuff from the prequel trilogy.

 

I recently watched both and they are hilarious, let's hope they continue with the this one.

 

Sounds awesome. Let's not be so sensitive. They were clearly just being silly with their "there won't be a prequel trilogy" comment.

I actually do hope for more PT humor in part 3. The youngling slaughter/naboo fields scene and the Jar Jar scenes are some of my favorites from the first two episodes.

 

Im with this guy!

 

they need a skit where Grievous has to deal with cancer of old age

 

I can't help but note Carrie Fisher seems to have opted out for this according to the cast list. But Zac Effron as Anakin Skywalker is a very interesting casting choice.

I also can't help but note the claim that III will be a linear story, didn't they say that about SW:RC II? So unless this is going to be a completely linear episode, which I'm not sure will work very well with the style of humour Robot Chicken portrays, I won't be expecting to see too much of Darth, Palpatine or Gary.

Looking forward to December 12th!

 

woohoo for more Jar Jar! I can't believe that I managed to type those words and be absolutely serious.

 

Uh...any comments on Zac Efron as Anakin Skywalker?

 

Yay! Something else to look forward to after coming down from a Celebration V high.

 

This is great news. The second one had me dying upon first viewing.

 

I swear I remember reading an interview with Seth Green in SW: Insider about how RCSWII was going to have a central storyline and be quite linear in it's approach, an idea that had me fairly worried upon reading it.

I may be wrong though.

I really hope it's because of a lack of Leia skits rather than anything else. I'll be gutted if they get a poor impersonator in. As much as I love Catherine Taber as Padme I thought her Leia in TFU was horrendous.

 

Personally I think Zefron as Anakin is a hilarious idea for a number of reasons, but I have this sneaking suspicion that older fans who weren't between the ages of 11 and 16 when he came on the scene and therefore don't understand his campy pop culture appeal will be left scratching their heads.

Understandably.

 

It's like Lucas is deliberately trolling fans now.

 

Wonder if Efron will be at CV?

Also, if Efron does a better Anakin than Matt Lanter, hopefully Dave Filoni and co. will kick Lanter out and replace him with Efron.

 

I`m looking forward to this one. The other ones were hilarious

 

Indeed.

 

It think we all knew Robot Chicken: Star Wars was coming to an end. I think whoever producted Robot Chicken enjoyed the Star Wars Themes. One thing I didn't like in Robot Chicken was Boba Fett with a lightsaber or Leia and Luke in bed in Cloud City. The one's that were laughable were the "Yo Mama" competition, Mace dying, Jar Jar Binks disturbing Vader in his sleep, and in the Chancellor's office where Vader called the Emperor and told him some rebels blew up his Death Star. Some of it seemed inappropiate and not aa franchise choose. The ratings I'd ive it about four and a half stars.

 

Brief unfinished Ep3 preview from CV:

And an interesting tidbits from the panel:

Matt: "Unlike other episodes of Robot Chicken, the new Star Wars special will be an hour long."

Cool! Those RC specials always felt too short for me.

 

A mixed blessing IMO. Most of the cut sketches from RCII that were included in the DVD release were better off left out of the show, and there have been a couple of dud jokes that creeped into the actual episodes themselves (Although I can't stress how few were bad).

So long as this doesn't affect the hit/miss ratio of the jokes then this should be rather spectacular!

 

They should put at least one Clone Wars spoof in this one.

That'd be funny to have a Cad Bane skit or something.

 

I wonder if there'll be a 3 DVD box set (In the style of the OT DVD box set) released later in the future after the third one airs?

 

Robot Chicken: The only show in which only 90% of fans don't want to see Jar Jar.
