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, Tom Kane, Joey Fatone and Bob Bergen.

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!" in a high voice.
 * A janitor must clean up far more falling corpses than he would like: first on Naboo (Darth Maul), then on Coruscant (Mace Windu), and finally on the second Death Star (Palpatine).
 * 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.

 * 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.
 * Han's radio conversation about reactors in the detention level becomes even more complicated 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.
 * Luke Skywalker lays out money for an adult dancers group called the Power Converters at the gentlemen's club called Toshi Station.
 * Chewbacca is about to comb his hair, but finds out it looks good enough much like The Fonz.

 * An intimate moment between Luke and Princess Leia.
 * Star Wars: Empire on Ice!.

Trivia

 * In the segment where a ghostly Jar Jar Binks haunts Darth Vader while he sleeps, four Star Wars Miniatures (a stormtrooper commander, a scout trooper, a stormtrooper and an R2-D2) 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 12+. 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 Baba, 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.
 * During the sketch with Mid-Nite with Zuckuss, a mug in the shape of Boushh's helmet is visible on the desk as a reference to Conan O' Brian's Eisenhower mug.
 * In the very beginning when the Doctor picks up the chicken from Mustafar, the fully constructed Death Star is in the upper left corner.
 * Oddly, there is no skit based off of Attack of the Clones.
 * The AT-AT driver is reading a magazine entitled "Naboobies".
