Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III
Tags: humor

Plot synopsis:
Unlike the previous installments in the satirical trilogy, Episode III tells a more cohesive chronological tale stretching from before the events of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace to after Return of the Jedi. Emperor Palpatine, voiced by Seth MacFarlane, acts as a narrator - chronicling his own rise to power, the questionable wisdom of his selection of Anakin Skywalker as an apprentice, the extermination of the Jedi, and routine life aboard the Death Star. Several skits feature Boba Fett, voiced by Breckin Meyer (who was nominated for an Emmy for his writing work on the first Robot Chicken: Star Wars), including his fall into and time spent in the Sarlacc pit. Other skits feature more minor characters like Gary the Stormtrooper, Max Rebo, Yarael Poof, and Prune Face - none of whom had speaking roles in any of the Star Wars films.
=== List of sketches ===
The Emperor's Back - Just as Palpatine is thrown down the reactor shaft by Darth Vader, he reminisces on his mistakes which have led up to this, including his anti-Gungan activities that led to his political career in the Galactic Senate and his bad choices for apprentices.
Opening sequence, redone from the previous specials. The Mad Scientist (Emperor Palpatine) saves the Robot Chicken (Darth Vader) from the volcanic planet of Mustafar and rebuilds it before forcing it to watch the show.
This is Pod Racing - After destroying the droid control ship, little Anakin Skywalker jubilates until the radio operators wonder why they hear a little girl on their comm channel.

Non-Sexual Matters - Anakin tries to talk to Padme about his feelings for her, but he ends up letting her hair down, performing yoga, stripping down into her bikini to wax R2-D2-, and then releasing water over herself, sexually tormenting Anakin. Padme though tells him that she's not getting into this with him.
Catch, Dad - Young Boba Fett attempts to continue a normal kid's life with his father's last memento as a symbol for his everlasting presence.
My Face is on Fire - After making Anakin into Darth Vader, Anakin tells Palpatine that while he was fighting Mace Windu, some of his Force lightning bounced off his lightsaber and hit him in the face, causing his face to burn and steam.
Yarael Poof, pt. 2 - Master Poof returns with the pizza to find the Jedi Temple raided, and decides to make up for lost opportunities on his time with the council, by mocking Yoda and the other council members.
Darth Matt - After rescuing Vader from the lava on Mustafar, Palpatine mockingly calls him "Darth Matt" while Vader tries to make some suggestions about his armor. After getting into his armor, Darth Vader dances around the Death Star until he has to use the bathroom. Vader has a hard time trying to get out of his armor to use the bathroom and ends up deactivating the oxygen in his helmet, causing him to fall and get his cape stuck in the toilet. He then blasts his helmet off, hitting an Imperial officer in the face and activating roller blades, causing him to fall over and get his fist stuck in the toilet.
Orders 1-65 - When Darth Vader asks Palpatine about the emergency orders coming before Order 66, Palpatine provides a less-than comprehensive listing of orders on how to make life miserable for anyone else in Star Wars.

Driving the Death Star - When the Death Star pilot has to go to the bathroom, he has Gary the Stormtrooper take over the Death Star, but when they near a planet, Gary hits the brakes, causing a series of unfortunate events around the Death Star. Gary eventually stops the Death Star before it crushes his daughter's elementary school.
Most Interesting Bounty Hunter in the Galaxy - Parody of the "Most Interesting Man In The World" commercials, Boba Fett is the "Most Interesting Bounty Hunter in the Galaxy".
Si, C-3PO - As Owen Lars buys C-3PO from the Jawas, he asks him about the only language out of over 6 million whose learning has given C-3PO severe trauma: Spanish.

Storm Troopers at the Moisture Farm - Gary and a stormtrooper visit Owen and Beru Lars' home to search for C-3PO and R2-D2, but they end up inviting them in.

Review: Very funny and entertaining to watch.But you wouldn't really get it if you've never seen any Star Wars,. Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode 3 is a very funny spoof of the Star Wars franchise,as is the first two specials.I wouldn't really recommend it for someone who's never seen any of the Star Wrs movies because you probably wouldn't get a lot of the films content.Robot Chicken and Aqua Teen Hunger Force (or whatever they're calling now,I still call it by its original name),are by far my favourite shows on Adult Swim,because I love all the parodies Robot Chicken do and the way they mock them show that they love these,movies,TV series and comics as much as I do and I love the characters in Aqua Teen Hunger Force,especially Meatwad.I really appreciate the voice acting in this,especially from Seth Green and Seth Macfarlane and from what you see in these Star Wars parodies,there's no wonder Seth Green and Matthew Senreich where asked to do a Star Wars animated series.Robot Chicken returns with another Star Wars parody with this time having the franchise shown from Emperor Palpatines point of view.It also features many bits from other famous Star Wars characters including Boba Fett,Yoda and many Stormtroopers.. the best of the three parodies. i thought this was the best of the Robot Chicken Star Wars Parodies.it's a bit longer this time at 45 minutes without commercials,but the time just flies by.once again the skits are random and hilarious,and absurd.i can't wait for this third one to come out on DVD so i can purchase it.if you like to laugh and are a fan of the Star Wars Saga,i'd recommend all three Robot Chicken Star Wars Parodies.i'd never even seen an episode of Robot Chicken before watching these specials,and i don't think it's necessary to do so in order to enjoy them.these parodies are funnier than the Family guy parodies,though those are also funny.for me,Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III is a 10/10. Amusing rather than funny, which is a disappointment. I watched the third Family Guy Star Wars spoof recently and, while obviously the weakest of the three, I still found it quite good (bit like Jedi itself I guess). However what I was looking forward to the most was the third Robot Chicken spoof because I had laughed myself hoarse at the first one they did and even the weaker second one was very funny. Sadly though the third film seems to be running out of steam, with all the really sharp jokes on the subject gone already and the material having a feel of reaching or being the material taken from the cutting room floor of the first two films.Perhaps it was an effect of this special having a lot of material from the three newer films because I am less familiar with these and do not have the affection for them that helps any spoofing. Perhaps it is this but undoubtedly the material is just not as funny as the previous films and there were a lot of misses in here. The emperor being the narrative frame didn't really work for me and there were too many jokes that didn't really work or that ran on too long. The storm trooper driving the deathstar was one, Luke at the gas station was another (although clever it wasn't that funny and lasted too long) and there are many more examples. It is a shame because the first spoof was so good and so successful (in terms of bringing non-RC viewers to the series) that they HAD to do another one and another one, even if the ideas are harder to come by as they go.I did laugh during the special but it was much more sporadic and for too much of it I was sitting with that dumb smile on my face – the smile of a man waiting for a laugh because one must be seconds away, only for it not to come at all. Overall, this was more a case of amusing rather than hilarious, which for those who saw where they started, can only be a disappointment.. Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III (2010). A few recycled gags and others that go on for too long don't really hurt this third installment. When it gets it right it really gets it right, and one sketch had me laughing harder than I've laughed in years. I can't even explain why. Maybe I was going a little crazy, but still, it was good to laugh to the point I was scared as to why I couldn't stop. Again it's one for Star Wars fans only, but I'm sure many people could respect the general animation and ideas. It spoofs every element of Star Wars, from simple scenes, how real people may have acted, riffing on plot holes, strange connections between the original and prequel trilogy, fan expectations, and even why some characters got an action figure. At times observational, at others just random.
