More from Television"Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II" is a go.
Just days after the Adult Swim show landed a best animated series Emmy nomination for its "Star Wars" episode, the cable network is moving ahead with a sequel that will premiere Nov. 16.
"It doesn't even seem real — getting to make Star Wars twice!" said "Robot Chicken" co-creator Seth Green, who is set to direct the second "Star Wars"-themed episode.
Several members of the voice cast from the first special are back, including original "Star Wars" actors Carrie Fisher and Billy Dee Williams — reprising their roles as Princess Leia and Lando Calrissian, respectively.
As for the creative direction in the sequel, "we decided to focus on the bounty hunters a bit and explore their stories," "Robot Chicken" co-creator Matt Senreich said. "It's a geek-fest for us all."
"Robot Chicken" hails from Green and Senreich's Stoopid Monkey Productions and Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico's ShadowMachine Films.
The first "Robot Chicken: Star Wars" special was released Tuesday on DVD.
