Boy, howdy! whether you don’t have the TiVo or DVR (or, for the non-believers, VCR) cleared out by Sunday night you are going to miss a ton of Robot Chicken. In addition to the show’s tribute to everything Star Wars premiering on Father’s Day evening, the entire Adult Swim schedule will be committed to everything Robot Chicken from the beginning of their broadcast schedule till the break of dawn.

It will start with the 30-minute Star Wars special at 10 pm. The special will soon after air at the top of each hour until Adult Swim’s broadcast day ends at 6 a.m. Monday wee hours to prepare room for parent Cartoon

Network. At the bottom of each hour Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and Matt Senreich will air their favorite episodes.

USA Today has a nice article about Green, Senreich, and the special they created. In it they talk about what they had to go through to get Star Wars creator George Lucas’ blessing to create such a special, and to get Lucas to supply his voice in one of the scenes. I wonder whether that blessing additionally extended to another show that Seth is involved with — Family Guy. I’m certain it’s no coincidence that the FOX animated comedy is doing it’s own spoof of Star Wars for next season.
