DVD Description
You too can join the dark side on when [adult swim], the people behind the Emmy Award-winning stop-motion animated show Robot Chicken, will be releasing Robot Chicken: Star Wars on DVD for the very first time in the UK.
[adult swim] have turned the Star Wars universe on it’s head and given the legendary struggle between intergalactic good vs. evil a unique make-over in this extended episode which is jam-packed with unforgettable moments parodying all 6 films. Robot Chicken: Star Wars boasts an all-star voice cast including Star Wars creator himself, George Lucas plus Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane, Breckin Meyer, Donald Faison, Hulk Hogan and James Van Der Beek.
The story begins not long ago, in a galaxy not far enough away where we see Emperor Palpatine receive a reverse charge call from the Dark Lord announcing the destruction of the Death Star, watch the droids have trouble getting through airport security and see Admiral Akbar selling out in an advert for his own breakfast cereal. If that wasn’t enough to wet your appetite, George Lucas gets saved from a mob of nerds at a Star Wars convention, Luke and the Emperor settle things with a "yo mama" fight and there’s even a new unforgettable addition to the Star Wars franchise with "Empire on Ice" … and that’s just a snippet of the 35 sketches featured!

Format:DVD
So funny, I had to pause the DVD because I was laughing so hard, and I didn't want to miss a single second.
It's true what they say at the end of Family Guy Blue Harvest, Robot Chicken: Star Wars is far better and funnier Star Wars spoof. Standout sketches for me were Admiral Ackbar's cereal advert ("It's a trap!"), the 'true story' behind the arm-severing at the Tattoine bar, and the final show piece 'Empire on Ice'. A must for all Star Wars and cutting-edge animation fans.
Bring on the rest of the adult swim universe.

I had heard a lot about this so was really pleased when this was released. A different parody to Blue Harvest, more like out-takes and behind the scenes hidden camera type of show. Some excellent sketches including Admiral Akbar cereal. Main issue I had was the length..... I has assumed that this was an extended episode like Blue Harvest, but in fact it was only around 20 minutes with the rest of the DVD taken up with unrelated episodes and extras, so for that reason only 4 stars for me.

They talk about it being 2.5 hours, but bear in mind that you'll be seeing only one 25 minute show of admittedly very fun Star Wars parody. The rest comprises extras like deleted scenes and voice overs, and unrelated extra episodes which have so many strictly US pop cultural references and require so much in-depth knowledge of comic books they could have been about ostrich farming in the Carpathians, as far as I was concerned.

An ok spin-off but there are better
As a starwars fan, I guess this is a must buy to add to the collection. It is funny in places but it has a lot of deviations from the original story and other bits are just ok. Read more

Great laughs but far too short
Had it not been quite so funny, I'd have given it 3 stars instead due to the main item only being around 25 minutes long- but it had me in tucks in places. Read more
