Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) The one big condition to enjoy this short film is that you're already a Star Wars fan in advance. It mainly consists of often unrelated sequences that feature most of the characters in a more volatile, everyday-person manner with struggles known to all of us. If you've seen the Star Wars movies, at least the old ones, and not enjoyed them that much, this one won't give you lots of pleasure. You need to know the characters, their quirks, relations and mannerisms to be fully able to get the most out of this viewing experience. I watched the Star Wars trilogy a while ago, but my reason for watching this is really more being an animation enthusiast. Of course, there are certain parts which make the whole film accessible to a wider audience, like the shamelessly liberal dig at (then-)President George W. Bush who got dedicated a whole couple scenes to himself (including a re-enactment of the epic light saber battle) or the earlier sequence with George Lucas meeting a complete Star Wars geek actually making fun of the target audience playfully.And even if you love Star Wars, there's still a possibility you won't be able to really appreciate these 25 minutes due to Green and the writers frequently reducing the action to the level of the Star wars characters throwing "your mother"-jokes at each other.
bob the moo As others have said, it doesn't really matter if you have never watched Robot Chicken but it does matter if you have seen Star Wars at least once. Unlike the Family Guy special (which now doesn't look as funny), this parody is a series of sketches that range from a few seconds to a few minutes but never longer. The quality is very high and I laughed hard and frequently as I watched it. Whether it was the simplicity of C3PO trying to get through airport security or a reimagining of the Cantina scene from the point of view of a minor character, almost all of them hit the target. Some of the jokes stand out but all of them are good at very least – there was only really one part of one sketch that I remember not getting, otherwise it had me in stitches.The animation is superficially rough and I imagine that that is part of the charm of the series – those used to it will not notice but those coming to it for the first time (like me) might take all of five seconds to get used to it – mainly because the laughs kick in almost immediately and you don't notice anything after that. You certainly don't notice time because the special is over before it begins and leaves you wanting more. The voice work is good and the acting shows great comic timing and ability as they deliver the gags just right. Overall a wonderfully funny Star Wars parody that is done with knowledge and affection but also, more importantly, a great sense of humour and imagination.
mOVIemAN56 I never really watch Robot Chicken that much before seeing this and it continues to be absent from the shows I do watch during the week. However, I am a huge Star Wars fan and when I heard that there would be a parody of it on Robot Chicken, I made sure I would have Cartoon Network on the night it aired. I had seen Robot Chicken before and hadn't been too impressed but I must admit I was not disappointed with the half hour special of Robot Chicken: Star Wars.So many classic Star Wars scenes are twisted and turned into comedy with strange happenings at every bend. The Emperor on the collect call with Darth Vader asking "what the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?", Darth Vader being confronted by Jar Jar Binks aboard a Star Destroyer , and Luke and Palpatine having a 'yo mama' fight during the climax of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. There were so many classic scenes I couldn't stop laughing through most of it. Seth Green really did a great job.Some parts weren't so great though. During the end things didn't seem to be that great. The last sequence on ice is really really bad. A few other scenes I barely smiled. I believe that Green and the people working with him just failed to come up with stuff so they went with whatever came to them at the end. There are 3 or 4 scenes which I would fast forward through if you are watching it somewhere, trust me they aren't funny. The rest, however, is golden and will be hilarious to anyone watching it. Pretty much if you love Star Wars, you'll like this. Listen for George Lucas in his cameo and be prepared to laugh.3.5/5 Stars
bsinc This special's not bad, loved the "yo mama jokes" clip, "pervert Bobba Fett", "Jar Jar" etc, but overall the episode wasn't the surplus I was hoping for. Mostly because out of the 26 minutes almost half of them are clips we've already seen, so since there's only about 13 minutes or so of new material I felt almost, kind of, maybe, a little, well, ripped off. But that's definitely too strong of a word, "Robot Chicken" is one of the best shows ever, and I'd be immensely happy to see the 3rd season come to life. I know the older clips are here simply because they're ripping on Star Wars too, but we've all seen them so many times before that they were really slowing the otherwise great pace. It's like stand-up comedy, once you tell a great joke on TV you really shouldn't repeat it again on a different show, it feels kind of cheap (at least to me). Better to come up with new material and make the show shorter. Ooooooor, make the show so much longer that the stuff you repeat doesn't overtake the new stuff. I guess THAT'S the point I've been trying to say: Robot Chicken guys, make your shows last longer!!!:)....But otherwise, this is great fun, and it really shows that these guys have a lot of devotion to the Star Wars world, they even convinced the high and mighty Lucas to help them out. Restecpa!Peace
