‘Robot Chicken: Star Wars’ sequel in works – The Hollywood Reporte
Good news, Robot Chicken is doing another Star Wars episode.

Many members of the voice cast from the first special, including original “Star Wars” actors Carrie Fisher and Billy Dee Williams — reprising their roles as Princess Leia and Lando Calrissian, respectively — are back. Also returning are Seth MacFarlane as Emperor Palpatine, Conan O’Brien as Zuckuss, Breckin Meyer as Admiral Ackbar and Boba Fett, and Ahmed Best as Jar Jar Binks. Green will voice several characters, including Ponda Baba. Joining the voice cast this time around is Andy Richter.

As for the creative direction in the sequel, “we decided to focus on the bounty hunters a bit and explore their stories,” “Robot Chicken” co-creator Matt Senreich said. “It’s a geek-fest for us all.”

The first one was hysterical and WAAAAAAAAAAY better than the overrated and rarely funny Family Guy Star Wars episode.
