Robot Chicken: Star Wars - Episode II… am I going to be hounded and harassed with
emails if I confess to the fact that I have never EVER watched the original Star Wars
trilogy (or however many films there are)?
All I know about Star Wars is the many parodies or homage’s you see in movies or pop
culture in general; or from Jay and Silent Bob talking or other Kevin Smith characters
talking endlessly about the characters/films. I’ve enjoyed the few episodes of Robot
Chicken that I have seen but I guess because I haven’t seen the Star Wars films, a lot of
the gags are lost on me.
Although, there’s lots of gags that I can pick up on and the main ones that are funny to
see are the characters doing daily things: Vader doing dishes, The Emperor getting a
haircut; or the blending of pop culture and fads like text lingo and how the creators
completely rip the shit out of them, makes Robot Chicken Star Wars a really
entertaining watch (to those acquainted with Star Wars and those who are not).
Clocking in at 38 minutes (there‘s also an extended version too), it’s nearly double the
time as the first Robot Chicken Star Wars and it’s far more epic on every level,
visually and comically. I can’t believe that it is stop motion, it looks fucking amazing.
It was really interesting watching some of the special features that discussed how they
made certain sets and details of the puppets etc.
I am sure there’s debates as to which episode is better but if you love the show and
the first Robot Chicken Star Wars episode, you’ll want this release.

The video is presented in a 1.66:1 widesreen format. Picture quality looks terrific with
virtually no visible flaws. Colors are very saturated, crisp and vibrant. Didn't find any
flaws at all with this release.
