You might want to watch it via the protective filter of the RiffTrax commentary, if you get the chance. http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/11/14/the-force-is-still-with-robot-chicken-star-wars/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/11/14/the-force-is-still-with-robot-chicken-star-wars/#comments Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:26:12 +0000 Curt Holman http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/?p=9173 http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/11/14/the-force-is-still-with-robot-chicken-star-wars/feed/ 0 "Robot Chicken," Adult Swim's stop-motion animation series, offers a second all-'Star Wars' spoof that's nearly as funny as the first. http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/11/04/on-dvd-today-10/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/11/04/on-dvd-today-10/#comments Tue, 04 Nov 2008 18:00:15 +0000 Caroline Burke http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/?p=8476 http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/11/04/on-dvd-today-10/feed/ 0 Fresh titles to add to your Netflix queue http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/08/15/defending-the-star-wars-prequels-from-clone-wars/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/08/15/defending-the-star-wars-prequels-from-clone-wars/#comments Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:06:21 +0000 Curt Holman http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/08/15/defending-the-star-wars-prequels-from-clone-wars/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/08/15/defending-the-star-wars-prequels-from-clone-wars/feed/ 3 Perhaps the best thing you can say about Star Wars: The Clone Wars (reviewed here) is that it’s not as bad as 1980’s “Star Wars Holiday Special.” It’s certainly the worst theatrical film with the name “Star Wars” attached to it and represents a hyper-leap backwards for the Star Wars prequels of the past decade.
