LucasFilm financing Robot Chicken special

In case you didn’t read my interview with Dino Stamatopoulos, you may be interested to know that he hepped me to some interesting news about Robot Chicken. Here’s what Stamatopoulos, whose show, Moral Orel, shares a production facility with Robot Chicken, had to say:

"We’re actually gonna shut down on Friday because Robot Chicken has a special they’re doing. I don’t know if I’m supposed to say, but I don’t give a shit, I’ll tell you anyway. LucasFilm saw some of their Star Wars parodies and now they’re financing a whole half-hour special that’s gonna be played for one of the network’s halftime shows for Super Bowl Sunday. So they’re building all these Star Wars sets around here. The nerds are creaming in their pants."

So there you go, Robot Chicken fans, a full half-hour of Star Wars-inspired Robot Chicken goodness. This was the first I had heard of such a thing, and I’ll let y’all know when I find out more information.
