Amazon.com:
Robot Chicken's finest half hour is more savvy than Spaceballs, more inside than Family Guy: Blue Harvest, and funnier, even, than The Star Wars Holiday Special. This Very Special Episode of Comedy Central's stop-motion animated series parodies and goofs on all things Star Wars, from a disgruntled Empire janitor to an ad for Admiral Ackbar Cereal ("Your tongues can't repel flavor of that magnitude"). Twenty three minutes goes by like the jump to hyperspace with such priceless bits as the collect phone call to Emperor Palpatine from Darth Vadar to inform him of the Death Star's destruction, awkward morning-after pillow talk between Luke and Leia ("That was so wrong"), and George Bush's newfound Jedi powers. Co-creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich and company immerse viewers in the Robot Chicken universe with generous bonus features, including storyboarded deleted scenes (with self-deprecating commentary), behind the scenes footage of animation meetings, and alternate audio takes. Good sport George Lucas, who gave his blessing to this episode, boldly goes where William Shatner went before by voicing himself in a Star Wars convention sketch that concludes with a Lucas-worshiping geek telling his son that meeting his idol was the best day of his life. What about his son's birth? "Not even close," dad replies. But you don't have to have that kind of devotion to Star Wars to be amused by this weather forecast for Cloud City: "Cloudy, followed by clouds." --Donald Liebenson.

Seth Green and the writes of Robot Chicken show that their love of Star Wars extends beyond just the movies. This was utterly enjoyable, even though a few scenes were lackluster. The rest of the show makes up for it, and then some.
I have yet to see the second part, but I am definitely going to get it soon.
If you are a fan of Star Wars, get this.

I am NOT familiar with Robot Chicken
Never seen anything else other than the Star Wars episodes
Being a Star Wars fan & collector for nearly 30 years I did enjoy the DVD.
Most of the bits are funny. Not knowing Robot Chicken, is this normal to have curse words cut out on DVD's?
That I did NOT like. It's a DVD, SAY THE WORDS.
OK, the other thing I did NOT like about this. Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) provided his voice for the DVD. Did he NOT do all the parts where the Luke character was used? Sometimes you could tell it was him, other times it sounded like someone else's voice.
He should have been used EVERY TIME the Luke character was used in bits.
Some good extras on the DVD.
And, what was the deal with Hulk Hogan doing a voice? Grabbing at any piece of money in front of you Terry? He was NOT needed in this.

was expecting this to be uncut and instead was disappointed by it as it is the same as the television broadcast,considering on sueing adult swim,seth green and company for false advertising of this product.
so, if you want to hear everything being bleeped out or if your as mad as i am about this then don't waste your time and money on this product as it is the same on your tv as it is here.
