Loved it!

I felt bad for the poor AT-AT pilot. He was just taking the Browns to the Super Bowl...
 
The Ponda Baba skit was too funny. I couldn't stop laughing when he said "What? I didn't say that!" It put a different spin on the whole cantina scene.

I hope that they come up with more soon.
 
Didn't think it was all that funny, i mean it was neat but funny? Not to me.
 
I've always liked Robot Chicken for the animation and all the cool toys they threw in, but I never found their jokes very funny or contagious - until the Star Wars special. It was definitely their best episode both in humor and technique. Walrus Man rocked, the Boba Fettish scene was great, and the Jar Jar skit was Jar Jar's best performance ever. And technically, the animation, sets, and lighting were fantastic. Getting George to make an appearance was icing on the cake. Well done.

You need to buy a new sense of humor buddy, that was Frikkin' hilarious! Waaaay too much Emperor though.:emperor
 
As much as this was great, now that it has passed, my anticipation for the Family Guy special is even higher, that's going to be the best hour of Star Wars related television ever. As for RB, I'm curious what they made their Chewbacca with, it seems their figures are 1/6 scale, so I wonder because it could be an opening for a way some 1/6 maker could do a good looking Chewbacca.

I think their figures are much bigger than 1:6, if you saw the interviews in b/t with Matt Senreich, they are in the background and look pretty big.

Nope. They had the Luke, Vader and Palpy from the ROTJ Throne Room scene (including the environment itself) on display at C4 and they were most definitely SMALLER than 1:6. I distinctly remember being surprised at how much smaller they were than I imagined they'd be.

Some, however, are in 1:6 scale... but those particular ones appeared to be more ike 1:7 or even 1:8.
 
Great special. I had actually forgotten it was on until last night. Glad I didn't miss it.

Walrusman was by far my favorite... too funny how they completely changed around the scene :rotfl :rotfl

I also liked the guy having to continually sweep up the falling dead! And what I think was really impressive overall is they worked in some pretty specific jokes, like the Power Converters... I got it right away but I had to explain that one to my fiance.
 
BTW, here are some of the pics I took of the display (unfortunately there is no scale reference in the photos, though):

This show did bring one thing to my attention. I had not noticed before but, just like a limb is cut off in almost all 6 movies, some one seems to fall down a shaft,a window or a shaft is featured in all 6 movies.

ANH-Strom trooper shot by Luke and Leia falls, Obi Wan turns off tractor beam in shaft.

ESB- Luke almost falls down shaft then eventually jumps off in cloud city

ROTJ-Emperor thrown over the shaft

TPM-Kenobi almost falls down shaft, then maul goes down shaft

AOTC- Kenobi jumps out of window, Kenobi falls off side of Platform in Jango fight

ROTS-Mace thrown out of window.


Did I forget any?

Don't forget Anakin hanging from the elevator shaft in ROTS, and the ensuing elevator shaft adventures later on. Can ya dig it?
 
I love that Lobot dancing scene.... Kills me. I have watched it 3 times and that bit is still the one that makes me laugh the hardest. Jar Jar gets a close second.
