As no one else seems to have mentioned it, there was an update about this on IMDb today, except they're treating like it's something new.

"'Star Wars': The Animated Spoof
George Lucas has agreed to participate in a 30-minute animated spoof of Star Wars, Comedy Central announced today (Wednesday). Robot Chicken: Star Wars will feature spoofs of key scenes and characters in Lucas's Star Wars films. Lucas will provide the voice for an animated version of himself. Also appearing in the voice cast will be Mark Hamill, reprising his role as Luke Skywalker. An all-star cast also includes: Conan O'Brien, Seth MacFarlane, Robert Smigel, Malcolm McDowell, and Hulk Hogan. The special is scheduled to air on June 17. "

Thankfully it looks likes it's still on. I wonder what the cause for the delay was. Interesting tha0 Lucas will be lending his voice to it. I Hope the Lucas seal of approval doesn't hinder the 'nothing is sacred' humour of the show.
