Star Wars Jokes Will Outlive Us All

The pop culture comedians of today continue to mine Star Wars for every possible bit of parody and humor they can find. Apparently there’s going to be a new animated series based solely around Star Wars jokes. It’s made by the guys from Robot Chicken, who’ve already had great success mining Star Wars jokes. I guess they’ve found some more.

It’s going to be called Star Wars: Detours.

There’s no premiere date set or even a network on which it will air. But those boys sure are making it. Looks…alright. There were some funny jokes in that trailer. And you can watch some clips here. But there comes a time when you’ve got to push away from the table and admit when you’re full.

Here’s the show’s description:

Star Wars Detours™ is an animated comedy that explores what daily life is like in a galaxy far, far away. There are no Empires striking back or attacking clones here. Instead, Star Wars Detours focuses on the universe’s regular folks and their everyday problems… which, to be fair, do frequently involve famous bounty hunters, crazed Ewoks, and even a Dark Lord of the Sith.

And oddly enough, they’re very specific on the fact that it will be set between the two trilogies. So…more Star Wars!

Robot Chicken DC Superhero Special Looks Awesome

The Robot Chicken Star Wars specials were brilliant, and it looks like the DC Special is going to be just as awesome! This stuff is hilarious!

The Special premieres on Sept. 9 on Adult Swim. Should be fantastic.

Sinestro is a Jerk…but Green Lantern Sort of Deserved This

I’m a huge fan of Robot Chicken, the stop-motion animated variety show that celebrates all of geekery. Well they have a DC Comics special coming up soon, and this is a preview clip of the Green Lantern vs. Sinestro. Hilarious and filthy. So the rest of the special should be more of the same. Guess they ran out of jokes to make about Star Wars.
