As I mentioned before I just LOVE Robot Chicken, some of the skits are hit and miss, but there is a whole lot more hitting than missing. Even if the hitting does happen with a SuperMario doll to the crotch. But when I heard about Robot Chicken Star Wars, I was ecstatic. This is super genius made out of awesome.

The Official Star Wars website has a feature about the creators and their efforts for this TV Special:

Robot Chicken: Star Wars, which premieres on June 17, 2007 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, combines action figures in humorous situations, which Green and Senreich hope the fans enjoy. "We wanted to turn the Star Wars universe on its side and try to figure out a new take on it." Senreich says. "But we also try to make jokes that would appeal to people even if they'd never seen Star Wars."

The duo has already previously demonstrated their flair for injecting humor into otherwise touchy situations in their first Star Wars skit --"Spoilers" where Darth Vader reveals every plot point of the saga to a rather peeved Luke Skywalker. "What made that scene a little extra special and fun for us was the fact that Mark Hamill came in and reprised his role as Luke Skywalker," Senreich says. "It was a shot in the dark but we wanted to get him anyway."

I totally dig that these guys are living the dream. Each of them are just super geeks swimming in their own nerdity.

I wish I was them.

I've been watching episodes of Robot Chicken on youtube and they're pretty good. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but I know enough to get the sketches they've done about it. Will check out the special.
