Prepare yourself for ludicrous speed! George Lucas and Mark Hamill are re-teaming for a new "Star Wars" project, in a spoofy collaboration for Adult Swim’s "Robot Chicken."
The special, entitled "Robot Chicken: Star Wars," comes courtesy of "Robot Chicken" creators Seth Green and Matthew Seinrich. It will follow the zany stop-motion flavor of their usual "Robot Chicken" episodes, with short scenes spoofing various "Star Wars" scenes and characters.
Self-professed "Star Wars" geeks Green and Seinrich produced the special in tandem with Lucasfilm, with both Lucas and Hamill on board recording vocal tracks (Lucas as himself, Hamill as Luke Skywalker).
Per The Hollywood Reporter, "Robot Chicken: Star Wars" will "premiere at 10 p.m. June 17 on Adult Swim, kicking off a best-of ‘Robot Chicken’ marathon that will feature reruns of the ‘Star Wars’ special at the top of every hour."
Now, if we can only get that "Spaceballs" sequel off the ground…
