Well, they do advertise it as The Chicken Strikes Back...and
boy, are they right!!! Star Wars Robot Chicken II delivers
BIG time!
From Revolver
EntertainmentRobot Chicken: Star Wars II reunites
viewers with Emperor Palpatine who, tiring of Darth Vader’s
incompetence, seeks advice from Alfonso, the hairdresser, during
a routine trim. Gary the Storm Trooper is forced to take his
daughter to work to keep the wife happy (not as simple as it
sounds when your boss is the Dark Lord of the Sith) and Luke
and Darth Vader bond over a father/son fishing trip. Once again,
the Robot Chicken crew takes a twisted look at all six films
to create a hilarious parody of the phenomena that is Star Wars.
And you don't just get the special that aired, you get added
scenes to tantalise, tittilate and topple you off your tauntaun
too ! I won't spoil it here for you...okay then, I will...here's
a few GEN EXCLUSIVE clips:
Don't forget though, there's more on the DVD.
All round,
yet another winner from the guys.
