If you’re not familiar with the Adult Swim show Robot Chicken, let me explain it to you. Essentially, it’s a show based around short sketches comprised of stop-motion animation using toys and action figures. The humor is absurd and oftentimes borderline offensive, but it’s almost always funny. Created by Seth Green, it’s definitely one of the more out there shows on TV.

And now, Robot Chicken has set its sights on one of the most famous movie series ever: Star Wars. Yes, Robot Chicken Star Wars is a pseudo recreation of the sci fi classic using action figures and off color jokes. It makes fun of the original films as well as contemporary culture using; you guessed it, action figures. Best of all, it won the approval of George Lucas himself, who lends his voice to his action figure counterpart. If you like comedy and you like Star Wars, there are few better examples of the two meeting.
