In homage to one of the biggest adventure sagas in cinematic history, Adult Swim über-creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich incorporated tons of plastic action figures, brilliant execution of stop-motion animation and a touch of the Force to create the Robot Chicken: STAR WARS special -- and now it makes its way to a bonus-feature filled DVD from Warner Home Video and Adult Swim on July 22nd.

Seth Green tells StarWars.com exclusively, "Being a lifelong Star Wars fan, it's mindblowing to have made a Star Wars project that isn't for exclusive viewing in my living room. So obviously, we're thrilled to get this out and let people have it for exclusive viewing in their living rooms."

The Robot Chicken: STAR WARS DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $14.97 and boasts a wide range of bonus features including:
Chicken Nuggets (Sketch by Sketch Video Commentary)
Animation Meeting
On-Air Bumps

 From Latino Review.com:

From Entertainment Weekly comes this interview with George Lucas. Here he talks about Indy 4:
 

How are you feeling about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Feeling good?
Oh, yeah, we had a great time making it.

Are you nervous about it in any way?
No, no, it's a great film. Will it beat [The Dark Knight]? I don't know. But we'll certainly give Batman a run for their money.

Are you going to do another Indiana Jones movie after this one?
That I don't know. We do these one at a time and we do them purely for the fun of it, which means that if we've got too many other things going on — Steve [Spieberg]'s got a couple more movies, he's got Chicago Seven, he's got all this stuff backed up for years — who knows? At least I'm at a point now where I can just enjoy myself and be creative and not have to worry about people getting crazy or trying to make decisions around me or anything. And I'm to a point now where if it isn't successful, it's not the end of the world. It's always a disappointment when it doesn't turn out, but sometimes you know it's not going to turn out. I've [also]] seen other people's movies that I had really high hopes for — I said, ''Oh, this is going to be great'' — and I'd see it and it is great, but it falls flat and nobody goes to see it. You know, I loved Across the Universe, it's a brilliant film. I wish I had made it — I don't think I'm talented enough to do that. But at the same time, it just [motions like it blew away] pffffff. It's too bad. That's the saddest part right there: Something that you think is really good and should work and people should enjoy it, and they don't.

But you're confident that Indiana Jones will work?
Yeah, well, this one, we know that for the fans it won't be the movie that they have been making in their minds for the last 19 years, so they all get bent out of shape. A lot of the critics forget that they didn't like the first three, and so they get off on this one, too — or it's not the Second Coming. And, yeah, we didn't make it bigger and better, we made it exactly the same. So if you loved the other ones, you'll love this one. But if you expect to have F-14s flying under freeways — that isn't there. It's just another period adventure movie with this wacky archaeologist. It's funny. I think it's funnier than the other ones, and it's exciting. So it's got all the stuff that all the other ones have. And Harrison's great in it.

Star Wars Action News has reported in their recent podcast that Steve sansweet made a few announcements at Jedi-Con regarding the Star Wars Celebrations. Rebelscummer Dustin went to talk with him.

 SWAN reports: Celebrations will continue worldwide every year after Celebration Japan.

Sansweet: I said we would very much like to continue Celebrations every year somewhere in the world, but we won’t be making any decisions until sometime after Celebration Japan.


SWAN reports: Rick McCallum is pushing hard for a Celebration Australia.

Sansweet: I said Rick would love to see a Celebration happen in Australia so we’ll look to see if that is possible.


SWAN reports: Celebration Europe II will happen in Berlin.

Sansweet: I said we certainly hope to do another Celebration in Europe, and maybe someday we could do Germany. I personally would love to see a Celebration in Berlin.


SWAN reports: Celebration V is very likely in 09, with Chicago the frontrunner as the venue.

Sansweet: We are hoping to do a Celebration in the U.S. next year, and we’ll be looking at Midwest locations like Chicago as well as some further east.

Everything isn't set to stone yet. There could be some changes but it might look like we'll be having another celebration soon!
