I thought it was cancelled. MTV's 10 minute comedy gem was never to return after it's 3rd season ended earlier this year. It was either a poor decision or a crap gag, but that chice has changed an Robot Chicken is back!!!Much like the UK's Adam & Joe show in the 90's, this uses traditional stop motion animated toys to perform sketches, which frequently riff of of pop culture.
Their two Star Wars Specials are highly recommended, easily funnier than the mighty Family Guy's Star Wars spoof from last year. It does what all good satire should do...subvert the original person/film/event so that it never seems the same again. Their Boba Fett is a perfect combination of Ego and Flamboyance, who now infects the Holy Trilogy with his character.
Season 4 kicks off with self-voiced cameos from Ron Moore, Joss Whedon and Seth McFarelane as well as an insight into the construction of the Aztec traps at the beginning of Raiders.
Genius

Was never a watcher of Adam & Joe and Robot Chicken would have pased me by were it not for the Star Wars specials. Forever imbedded in my psyche now.
That reminds me, I must go to the Toshi Station to pick up one of those Power Convertors as I'm at a loose end.
