"The Chicken Strikes Back!"
In homage to one of the biggest adventure sagas in cinematic history, Adult Swim über-creators Seth Green & Matthew Senreich incorporated tons of plastic action figures, brilliant execution of stop-motion animation and a touch of the Force to create the 'Robot Chicken - Star Wars Special' - and now it makes its way to a bonus-feature filled DVD!
Brazenly combining the satirical style of Green and Senreich's Stoopid Monkey Productions and the creative team at ShadowMachine, headed by Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico, and inspired by the unforgettable moments and favorite characters of the 'Star Wars' galaxy, the 'Robot Chicken - Star Wars Special' intertwines the staples of George Lucas's universe with "yo' momma" battles, spoofs on George Dubya, and besotted fanboys. Green directed the special, which earned him this year's Annie Award for Directing in an Animated TV Production. It's everything the fans have come to expect of the hit television series and more. So very much more.
Starring the voices of Mark Hamill; Abraham Benrubi; Candace Bailey; Seth MacFarlane; Breckin Meyer; Conan O'Brien; Donald Faison; Joey Fatone; Keith Ferguson; Ahmed Best; Tom Kane; Hulk Hogan; Malcolm McDowell; George Lucas; Seth Green; and Bob Bergen.
Directed by Seth Green.
"An anarchic collision of plastic action figures and wicked pop-culture satire."

"Deliciously eccentric."
-SUNDAY TASMANIAN

-DESKTOP
"If this happens to match the flavour of your funny bone, then 'Robot Chicken' will tickle it harder than an older brother trying to force his younger sibling to soak their underclothes. 8/10"
