Okay, the Robot Chicken Star Wars Special is simply wonderful. It recycles the Palpatine-on-the-phone immediately post-A-New-Hope bit ("Who's they?!?") and the Conan O'Brien bit is a bit off, but overall, quite fun. The Boba-Fett-macking-carbonatedized-Solo bit somehow manages to come off creepier than Luke and Leia in bed together....

Aw, crud, I missed it. If the rest of it was anywhere near as good as the Emperor phone call, I'll have to catch it elsewhere and elsewhen.

On the whole it was pretty good -- it can't keep up that level of hysteria for too long, but it was a pretty decent half-hour of TV. The Emperor/Luke-dozens bit was great, and there was an odd abundance of tauntauns. (And I'm pretty sure it's "Max Rebo," with one "e," but I could be wrong.)

A little labored in parts, but worth it for its raw geekery. Let me put it this way: it's easily the finest use of Jar Jar ever. It makes Jar Jar funny. (With Ahmed Best, no less.)
