If you're a fan of Robot Chicken in general and Star Wars, you should give them a spin. But, yeah, I think they're mostly stupid and usually annoying.

I've watched a lot of it. But I've only laughed at two or three jokes. It's not for me.

Damn. Finished S5. Holy Shit. That was some brutal stuff. And totally ties in to what Stip was saying about The Jedi earlier. I should go back and respond to that post again now that I have more info. The Clone Wars is so much about the Jedi and why they should NOT be involved in this war. Fascinating.

The Clone/Order 66 arc at the front of S6 is just outstanding.

I've been complaining that I find the clone stories generally unsatisfying, but this one is really good. And again, the fact that they create so much tension and mystery, even though you know EXACTLY what is going on, is a testament to the job they did on those.

The only two i even kinda liked I absolutely loved. The Pong Krell stuff in season 4, and the Fives stuff in season 6.

Pong Krell was very good, but it was a good example of the incoherence of the clone storylines when they were about what it means to be a clone. I like that that episode highlighted that clones shouldn't have their lives thrown away, but then in other episodes clones treat themselves as disposable, insofar as dying for the republic is what they are made for, their highest honor, something to celebrate (after Pong Krell you get that weird arc with the droids and the trooper with amnesia who recovers his memory in time to die heroically and feel great about it).
