Synopsis
Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II is a 22-minute long special episode of Robot Chicken
List of Skits
- Boba Fett kills many Ewoks using his laser blasters, lightsabers, and a rocket from his backpack before Princess Leia arrives, who swiftly strips down to her slave outfit and begins to lust after him. This sequence is revealed to be the imagination of a nerd describing his idea of the best thing ever to his friends.
- Opening sequence, recycled from the previous special Robot Chicken: Star Wars, based on the end sequences of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The Mad Scientist (as Palpatine) saves the Robot Chicken (as Darth Vader) from the volcanic planet Mustafar and rebuilds it before forcing it to watch the show.
- A scene where Palpatine goes to his barber for a haircut who eventually suggests the idea of hiring a bounty hunter instead of relying on Darth Vader.
- A monster truck ad parody of the Geonosian arena scene from Star Wars Episode II.
- A scene where Princess Leia mocks Luke Skywalker for missing Ben Kenobi who he met the day before while her entire family and planet has been destroyed.
- A stormtrooper brings his daughter to work, which occurs during the opening capture sequence of Star Wars Episode IV.
- A scene where the medical robot from the Death Star refuses to do bad things and points out medical inaccuracies. Parody of medical procedural shows and Dr. McCoy.
- A scene where a jingle for Admiral Ackbar's Fish Sticks is suggested and rejected.
- A stormtrooper mourns the loss of the trooper killed by Princess Leia.
- A mouse is shown piloting a mouse droid that is scared by Chewbacca.
- A parody of the scene from Star Wars Episode III where Anakin Skywalker kills the younglings in the Jedi temple. Anakin deals with the trauma of killing children by imagining they are sunflowers - which later gives Padmé a major shock when he decides to bring her a bouquet.
- A scene where two AT-ATs have a race during the Battle of Hoth.
- An explanation of the skeleton C-3PO walks past in the desert.
- Continuation of the third scene where Palpatine went to his barber. In a parody of the "What is thy bidding" scene from The Empire Strikes Back, Palaptine yells at Darth Vader and then puts an ad out for bounty hunters.
- A parody of Geico commercials using Jar Jar Binks to explain car insurance.
- Continuation from the fourteenth scene. Parody of the bounty hunter scene from The Empire Strikes Back.
- Lando Calrissian comments on the name of Boba Fett's ship, the Slave 1.
- Recycled skit from Moesha Poppins where Han Solo, Chewbacca and Princess Leia have a meal with Boba Fett, Lando Calrissian and Darth Vader.
- An ad for Bob Goldstein, an attorney who specializes in sueing jedi and any cases involving missing limbs.
- Parody of the "I love you" scene from The Empire Strikes Back. Chewbacca also admits something to Han, who then says 'That, I did not know.'
- A parody of the scene from The Empire Strikes Back where Darth Vader says the line, "I have altered the deal, pray that I do not alter it further." Darth Vader uses this line multiple times, increasing the embarrassment that Lando Calrissian suffers each time (ex: forced to wear a dress, ride a unicycle, wear clown shoes and refer to himself as Mary), everytime Lando says 'This deal is getting worse all the time!'
- A parody of the scene from The Empire Strikes Back where Luke Skywalker refuses Darth Vader's offer to join the dark side; in this version, Luke imagines what a father/son relationship with Darth Vader would be like, complete with fishing, learning to ride a bike, and a father/son dance contest against Jango Fett and Boba Fett. He accepts the offer but trips on his way back to Vader and falls anyway.
- This scene shows men looking to buy an apartment in Cloud City. Their interaction with the apartment's "features" cause Luke's further perils.
- Mon Mothma orders the calamari, much to the annoyance of Admiral Ackbar.
- Shows the aftermath of Boba Fett being swallowed by the Sarlacc.
- Shows Palpatine having an awful day that ends with him being thrown down the elevator shaft by Vader.
- End credits - The chickens sing the Star Wars theme.
- After the credits- Two Imperial Officers discuss the state of the empire after the second Death Star's destruction.
