In Robot Chicken season 2 episode 21, viewers are taken on a journey to a galaxy far, far away with the highly anticipated Robot Chicken Star Wars episode. Fans of both Star Wars and the hilarious adult animated series Robot Chicken will not be disappointed.
The episode features a myriad of iconic Star Wars characters like Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Yoda, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Boba Fett in a series of comedic and satirical sketches that parody some of the most memorable moments from the original Star Wars trilogy.
One sketch features Darth Vader calling Emperor Palpatine to gloat about his new pad in the Death Star while the Emperor attempts to warn him about potential vulnerabilities. Another sketch showcases Luke Skywalker using a computer to search for the location of the Death Star after it has been destroyed. A third sketch spoofs the infamous scene where Darth Vader reveals to Luke that he is his father but instead of revealing the truth, Vader tells Luke that his real father is Chewbacca.
In addition to the sketches, the episode also includes special segments like "The Emperor's Phone Call" where viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of the Death Star, and "The Robot Chicken: Star Wars Auditions" where guests like Scarlett Johansson and Mark Hamill audition for roles in the film.
Fans of the show will recognize the same stop-motion animation style and clever wit that has made Robot Chicken a cult classic. However, the addition of Star Wars characters and themes takes the humor to a whole new level. Fans of the original Star Wars trilogy will appreciate the attention to detail and the inside jokes that are scattered throughout the episode.
This episode is a perfect example of how Robot Chicken takes well-known pop culture references and turns them on their head, delivering a unique and hilarious take on beloved characters and themes. Anyone who is a fan of Star Wars or Robot Chicken will thoroughly enjoy this episode. It's a must-watch for anyone who wants to see their favorite characters in a whole new light.
