adult swim superfan
Television, as any other form of media, and for that sake any sellable product, is a process of improvement. Quality in programming over the years has peaks and valleys on the graph of quality. As a form of media, our generation has been lucky enough in the last 20 years to see some of the greatest television and movies ever produced.We are both blessed and cursed to have adult swim. The programming lineup in in the middle of the night on carttoon network is like the nightly superhero that sheds his disguse to show his true form. Buried in near television obscurity is the greatest gem most people will never comically or intellectually understand.You see, our blessing is that television has culminated to this point; and this point is adult swim. We are so lucky to see this point in the history and future of this media. No one will recognize it, and few will be willing to admit that the brilliance of adult swim is, and always shall be, the brightest spot in television history. And this, also becomes our curse. Everything ends. And when adult swim does, it's all down hill, for nothing could ever reach this apex of mastery on all media again.Within the greatest lineup that televison has ever known is the finest skin comedy show anyone will ever see. It's name... Robot Chicken. Sir Seth Green, and company, you da man, and you da men.T'vas.

Huge fans, but it's luster is off a bit.
I pre-ordered this from Amazon as soon as it was available. The wife and I are RC fans, and SW geeks. RCSW I and II were hilarious! My wife still laughs whenever she thinks of a Sand Person in a restaurant. So when this finally arrived we were stoked! Well, I won't say we were disappointed with our purchase; RCSW III had plenty of funny stuff (Seth MacFarlane's Lord Palpatine stands out), however you get the feeling that the writers were going to a well that's running dry, and just kept digging until they found moisture. Some of the gags were based on SW characters and themes that were so obscure that even we had trouble getting the joke. And the whole episode was formatted differently with an Emperor death freeze-framed voice over at the beginning, a shtick that periodically pops up until it's conclusion at the end. So instead of a DVD consisting of a bunch of skits dreamed up by a simian commity of post-adolescent derps on some Caf-Pow! hangover, filmed with a technical elegance reminiscent of the finest shoebox dioramas, Frankenstein-stitched together by editors who've never heard of the word "emergence" and vomited onto video, what's delivered is an "en total" episode that appears as if somebody tried to put some thought into a cohesive product in order to craft a classic piece of comédie outre...meh. I preferred the derp.

Funny enough BUT CUT, CUT, CUT
I do not watch regular Robot Chicken episodes.As a long time Star Wars fan & collector I purchased the 3 DVD's.This one is funny, not a bulls eye however. Some bits do not work or just did NOT make any sense.A lot of use of Boba Fett if you like the character. The Emperor, Vader.Gary the Stormtrooper, several bits on that.BUT, THE ONLY WHEN THE FEEL LIKE IT LANGUAGE CUTS. They let some adult language go through, some they cut. Curse words.IT IS A DVD WHY CUT ANYTHING? Badly done.Several good extras on it. Be warned the video on the Skywalker ranch premiere is NOT professional so IT IS DARK & HARD TO SEE.But, I always complain about these. The CHEAP, DO NOT CARE PLASTIC DVD CASES WITH THE INTENTIONAL HOLES SO YOU HAVE TO GO PURCHASE ANOTHER.Overall a good job, ruined by editing when editing was NOT needed.Amazon customers-be warned They did NOT drop the price release week like they do on pretty much any other DVD. So you could find better deals, I pointed this out to Amazon & got lip service They then DROPPED THE PRICE AFTER I ORDERED IT.

Very Funny w/Plenty of Extras
If you are a fan of Robot Chicken, and especially of the previous two installments of the Star Wars Robot Chicken, then you will really enjoy this iteration. I purchased the BluRay mainly for the advertised extras - which are great! However, what I had not counted on was that by purchasing the Blu-Ray version, the video would actually fill out my tv screen. This was surprising because since the Robot Chicken series is produced for television and has a 4:3 aspect ratio, apparently they produced this 3rd version specifically for home video. As such, the aspect ratio is that of a widescreen television (which most are nowadays).This is a very entertaining video all around, with a lot of funny segments. I enjoyed the extras as well with various interviews of the creators and some voice artists. This is definitely one for the collection. What's more, Amazon.com has it available at a very reasonable price.

FAVORITE!!!
First off, I'm a huge fan of Robot Chicken, every since it came about in 2005! I wasn't allowed to watch it but I snuck and did it anyways. When I joined the military and found it at a store on base, I purchased all the seasons 1-5 and Star Wars I & II..but I could never find Episode III...I realized it was on Amazon but wanted to keep looking in stores. I realized it was a rare find and was thankful I could find it on Amazon! You could say I'm an extremely satisfied customer!!!

if you are too serious about star wars and can't take a joke, you probably don't want this
I thought this was funny but it does have some of the skits in the robot chicken show, hence the four star rating.

Robot chicken + Star Wars = awesome
I love Robot Chicken and Star Wars 😊👍. Mix these two together and you have awesomeness. This was the third installment of the Star Wars themed episodes and or short movies and it's nothing short of greatness. If your a fan of cartoons and adult humor then you will love this film.

Robot Chicken at its finest.
Robot Chicken Star Wars III is where Seth Green, Matthew Senreich & the excellent writing crew of Douglas Goldstein and Tom Root make a much longer & chronological production. Lots of memorable scenes and voice actors in this one. You can pick this one up for around $10, so its a good valaue not even including the hours of bonus features. What are you waiting for? Pick it up now, if you haven't already!

The Farce is strong with this one!
Once again, the Robot Chicken gang rips into the "Star Wars" franchise with a combination of total affection, utter lack of mercy, and stop-motion toys.We follow the lives of four characters throughout the rise of the Galactic Empire, starting with Palpatine's decision to go into politics, choosing his Sith apprentice, and keeping the galaxy under his thumb. Li'l Anakin Skywalker grows up tormented by his love for an aloof and frankly wickedly teasing Padmé, and then gets into another fine mess when he gets crisped on Mustafar and has to learn what all the different buttons on his chest do . . . and then figure out how the Hell he's supposed to go to the toilet with all that gear and leather fused onto him. Boba Fett, after losing his father on Geonosis, gives Vader and Palpatine a run for the title of Biggest Jerk In The Galaxy, which he stands a fair chance of winning. Finally, Gary the Stormtrooper just continues to have a string of stressful days at work. He's asked to drive the Death Star for a spell and makes a hash of it, he messes up a door-to-door search for droids on Tatooine, and he takes his buddy's speeder bike for a spin on Endor and ends up causing unintended carnage that might cost the Empire the war.But it's not just these four main characters that get their chance in the spotlight. See Prune Face in action. Discover why C-3PO never learned Spanish as one of his six million forms of communication. Hear Chewbacca speak intelligibly. Find out what happened to Max Rebo after Jabba's sail barge blew up. Witness Lando telling it like it is. Learn Jar Jar's deepest, darkest secret. And there are many more mirth-inducing quick-fire sketches on top of all that! But there's more to this DVD than just loosely-connected comedy sketches; there's a boatload (more than three hours' worth) of bonus features, as well.There are FOUR sets of commentaries on the show itself (two sets for various voice actors, one for the writers, and one for the crew, all of which sound more like a bunch of friends getting together for a laugh than serious technical discussions), the mandatory Chicken Nuggets augmentation, fun at the Skywalker Ranch premiere, fun with Uncle George, fun at the Star Wars Celebration V convention, fun at a touring skate-party with costumed skaters, three behind-the-scenes featurettes, three trailers (two for the show itself and one for the video game "The Force Unleashed II"), and 25 deleted scene animatics, the absolute best of which probably has to be Gary the Stormtrooper takes his daughter work again . . . on Hoth! (That one needs to be made into full animation. No argument.)If you're a fan of "Star Wars" and/or any of the other [adult swim] animated offerings, this disc is for you.

scraping the bottom of the barrel a bit
I own all the seasons and all the previous specials so suffice to say that I am a pretty big fan of the chicken. However I do hope that this will be their last start wars special. Its not that the content wasn't up to the same standard that it has always been up to, it's just that you really get the feeling that they are really scraping the barrel now for star wars gags.One thing I like about purchasing robot chicken DVD's is that they are always extremely good value for money as the extra content that is included is always very generous and this one is no exception.This is recommended to any RC fan out there, but compared to rest of the specials this one is lacking slightly, which isn't really a big criticism if you take into account the high quality of the last few specials.

Very Good
Stumbled upon this gem after a night out. Was stuffing my face with kebab after a belly full of Guiness whilst surfing the TV channels and up pops Robot Chicken: Star Wars. Really appeals to my sense of humour and as lover of Star Wars (well the first 3 films anyway) I was hooked. Someone in the household deleted it off the Sky planner (if I find out who it was - recriminations will be long and painful) so had to buy it.The only downside (for me) is that the swearing is bleeped out. If the swearing wasn't bleeped out it would of got a legendary 5 star satus.

Hilarious!
I watched these all on Sci-Fi channel over christmas after the arguments at the end of the Family Guy star wars episodes. I'd have to say these are slightly funnier than Blue Harvest and way better than the other two FG eps with this episode 3 one being the best. It tells the story of Palpatines rise and fall with Boba Fett and Gary the Stormtrooper added in as side stories. This is an hour well spent.

Brilliant!
Normally with films like this they are scraping the barrel for comedy when it's the third and above, and doesn't reach as good amount of humour as the previous ones, however I found this one just as good as the previous, better than I expected it would be.
