Looks like you just barely made it in under the wire, Prelude.

This place can get really slow sometimes.

I was just frustrated from the total lack of activity on these boards. Your's was the very first post of monday and it was only 22 minutes before midnight. On top of that, I really couldn't find whatever it is you were asking about on that cluttered mess of a webpage.

According to the web Site Lucas had sponsored Seth Greens Robot Chicken to do a 1/2 hour episode to do with Star Wars. This was to Air during half-time of the super bowl last weekend. I searched for it and never found it anywhere. Just wondering if anybody else had caught it?

Is it possible they just ran a bunch of the existing SW parodies Robot Chicken has done in a half hour slot plus commercials? Besides, I doubt Lucas is a fan of the show after that skit Mark Hamill did!

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.

Wow, this definitely sounds worth watching. Robot Chicken has its moments, and so far everytime there has been an SW parody it has been one of them.

I can't wait for this. I guess they are trying to GL to do his own voice for his parts of the show. I seen this posted on a few other sites as well.
