Spoofs Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

Better then the series

Not by a lot though. Anyway, I saw this had come out on DVD Last Night so I decided to pick it up. I was kinda disappointed though by the length of the special (23 Min) but, being a huge fan of Robot Chicken and of Star Wars, I decided to give it a try...and boy was it good. It was a great blend of wit with their humor and the sheer amount of Star Wars references made it so easy to watch. Most of the jokes that were in there were hilarious and really added something to the special (The jokes that were not funny were just not funny not puke inducing like Meet The Spartans or anything like that).

I really enjoyed this as a long time fan of Star Wars (I cant help being born only in 1996 so I have been watching SW for only 6 years now but that is long to me). This is the best Robot Chicken thing they have ever made and I hope that the second one is just as good.

Overall, fans of Star Wars will LOVE this special, and so will fans of Robot Chicken. I rate this special 88%.
