Robot Chicken: Star Wars

Robot Chicken: Star Wars is a Star Wars-themed special of the show Robot Chicken that aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on June 17, 2007. It features the voices of George Lucas, Mark Hamill, Ahmed Best, and talk-show host Conan O'Brien.

In addition to new material, the special also features several Star Wars-themed sketches from previous episodes.

Sketches

 * The title sequence features a thematically altered version of the show's standard opening, in which a mad scientist turns a dead fowl into the titular "Robot Chicken"; the special parodies Anakin Skywalker's injuries on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith, with the scientist wearing Emperor Palpatine robes and transforming the chicken into a Darth Vader-like being.
 * Luke Skywalker destroys an AT-AT by grappling onto it as in The Empire Strikes Back, but throws the bomb into a bathroom stall occupied by an unsuspecting AT-AT Driver.
 * Emperor Palpatine, portrayed as a corporate executive, receives a call from a distressed Darth Vader shortly after the destruction of the first Death Star.
 * A Jawa orders a drink at the Mos Eisley cantina by shouting "Martini!"
 * A commercial for "Admiral Ackbar cereal" has Admiral Ackbar saying "Your tongues can't repel flavor of that magnitude!" and dancing.
 * Industrial designer Ponda Baba's conflict with Luke Skywalker in the Mos Eisley Cantina is shown to be the result of a failure to communicate excacerbated by a drunken Evazan.
 * C-3PO and R2-D2 encounter problems at the airport screening line.
 * Obi-Wan Kenobi drops Qui-Gon Jinn's ignited lightsaber through every floor of the Trade Federation ship.
 * New recruits receive orientation on board the Death Star explaining that Vader's Force Choke is all in his head.
 * After destroying the first Death Star, Luke realizes the futility in calling his loved ones back on Tatooine.

 * Bespin Cloud City weather updates.
 * A vagrant has already taken up residence in the tauntaun Han Solo intended for Luke.
 * Luke and the Emperor engage in a "Yo Momma" fight ("Yo momma so stupid, she thinks Jar Jar comes with Pickles Pickles!").
 * Han's radio conversation about reactors in the detention level becomes even more boring when it necessitates a call to Vader's office and an examination of the schematics.
 * Darth Vader has less patience for Jar Jar Binks than he used to, but throwing him out of an airlock only turns him into an annoying Force Ghost.
 * Boba Fett celebrates the capture of Han in an increasingly creepy way.
 * Chewbacca experiences hair management problems
 * Darth Vader reveals the secret of Luke's father...and sister...and how the Empire will be defeated by Ewoks...and the midichlorian nature of the Force.

 * The Emperor's taunting of Luke is interrupted by ongoing construction of the second Death Star.

 * Star Wars: Empire on Ice!.

Trivia

 * In the segment where a ghostly Jar Jar Binks haunts Darth Vader while he sleeps, three Star Wars Miniatures (a stormtrooper commander, a scout trooper, and a stormtrooper) can be seen on Vader's nightstand. Vader is also sleeping under "Star Wars" sheets.
 * The Power Converters seem to be the dancers in the Max Rebo Band.
 * Tosche is incorrectly spelled "Toshi" on a neon sign.
 * Over its four airings, the special received 5.7 million viewers ages 2+. It helped Adult Swim regain the status as the #1 cable network for total day delivery of young adults ages 18-34 and 18-24.
 * In the sketch with Ponda, a few objects are what seems to be IG-88's head: the water cooler in Ponda's office and some machines in the cantina seen behind the counter. These are in reference to the pieces used in A New Hope from which IG-88's head was later made.
 * One of the Death Star construction workers is a Rodian.
 * During the sketch with Mid-Nite with Zuckuss, a mug in the shape of Boushh's helmet is visible on the desk.
