"Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II" is the second of so far 3 Star Wars spoof specials from Seth Green's "Robot Chicken" series. It won an Emmy and several Annie awards the year it came out, which was one year after the first entry to the series. Apart from Seth Green, the cast includes several pretty famous names. Even Conan O'Brien and Carrie Fisher joined the cast after the success of the first film. For me it was nice to hear Abraham Benrubi who plays a crucial character in one of my favorite "Dark Angel" episodes. But back to this one: I thought there were a handful funny moments (like the one with the unicycle and clown shoes), but all in all it was just not enough quality comedy for over 20 minutes. Hardcore "Star Wars" fans can give this one a watch if they don't mind the weak animation. If they ever make a 4th, they really need to step things up in terms of the visual side. This did not get me the least interested in watching the third part or even the series. Not recommended.
