Yeah I just saw this on CNN...I cannot wait. Robot Chicken is one of the funniest shows to come out in a long time and the "Papa Palpatine"skit had me in tears......I will DEFINITELY be setting up the DVR for this one.

The RobotChicken episode with the Palpatine on the phone with Vader following the destruction of the Death Star is the second funniest Star Wars spoof ever behind Triumph on line for EpII.

I read in an interview with Seth Green that the special will likely get its own DVD release.
