Synopsis
The warped minds at Adult Swim's ROBOT CHICKEN once more take their demented sensibility to the holy grail of sci-fi epics, STAR WARS, in this hilarious special. As usual, a cast of celebrities lend their voices to the animated antics (even George Lucas gets in on the action), which include Emperor Palpatine confiding in his hairstylist, and plenty of surreal situations featuring Darth Vader, Lando Calrissian, and Boba Fett.

Customer Reviews

Strikes back with a hengeance
The first one was a stroke of genius - the second one stamps the Adult Swimmers authority as the finest purveyors of Star Wars spoofery, forget space balls and all the rest - this is the Wookies nuts.

More laughs per minute than anything in the known universe...

Please make more.

The Chicken Strikes Back!
Seth Green and his team return for a second installment of fanboy homages to Star Wars and they do not fail to disappoint.

Another great offering from the Adult Swim DVD range, Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode 2 is a hilarious and affectionate treatment of the Star Wars franchise with stop-motion action figure animation.

Although very much in the same vain as the original Star Wars Robot Chicken, this second installment is still a brilliant watch with new mad-cap sketches further pointing out and celebrating the lovable oddities of the Star Wars universe such as Dr. Ball MD, like any good spoof show should.

I highly recommend this to any Star Wars fanboy or comedy lovers anywhere.

5 Stars

Good comedy fair
Really genuinely funny and very well animated. Just as good as the first DVD - maybe even better. I look forward to a third!
