Well, it's got a few duds - Palpatine and Alfonso? Ugh - but when it's good, it's awesome. Dr Ball is hilarious.
Also, mouse droid? I knew it.

Best part-
Mon Mothma: I'll have the calamari.
Ackbar: Oh, well, then I guess I'll have the insensitive bitch with a side-order of FUCK YOU!

Hands up if you did not think of KT when Fett said "then eighty Jedi showed up, but I got sixty of them."

The end was classic. Spoiler
The Imperial Fleet should have been able to wipe the floor with the remaining Rebel ships. That they didn't always bugged the shit out of me.

I loved the revisit of Ponda Baba in this one.
And yes, as before, I'd love to see KT's reaction to Boba's portrayal here once again.
"Yeah! Back from the dead, a******!"

I think the first episode was, overall, superior, but this one had its moments, too. Anakin and the younglings was surprisingly morbid, although I suppose not really beyond the pale for Robot Chicken. The last full sketch really got me, too, and the post-credit sequence was great. Probably a bit too esoteric, but it would have been all the better if one of the Imperial officers had had a white mustache.

I knew I was a true nerd when I got the joke about Lando not liking the name of Boba Fett's ship.

I admit I was lost on that one. I know Han hated slavers, but why would Lando have such a problem?

According to wiki he did a raid on a slave world, but I'm thinking it is the joke is because he is black

Seth Green, you are awesome.
And yes, I the Fett sketch was classic beyond anything. 'So like 80 Jedi showed up, but I got 60 of them!' Seriously, that whole sequence was almost like the writers were mocking KT, though I know it was more the 'OMG Uber Fett' cult -of which KT has become the High Priestess I guess...
Not quite as good as the first one, but still exceptionally fun.

Because he's a good guy, and it's a really tasteless name?

Er...no. I'm 99% sure that Ender is correct.

Seth Green seems like enough of a nerd that he'd be keeping tabs on the star wars EU. Spoiler
Although fett's character has always been a cult classic I figured the episode was running an ongoing series to mock travis, first with the nerds day dreaming about Fett surviving Sarlac and shacking up with leia (In the gold bikini) then they were mocking him with the "real" conversation of what went on in Sarlacc's stomach, where Boba had amental breakdown because hwe went out like a punk (Ilove the tentacle that kept reaching for him while he talked) and then finally when the empire just gave up because the death star and the emperor were gone seemed like a statement that IDENTIFIED with sentiments on this site and maybe a few others, that the empire did in fact have thousands of star ships and could have continued to fight.
On another note Spoiler
I was a huge fan of the final Palpatine scene, he does such a good job of being a jerk to his followers its hilarious, you almost start to think he designs rediculous costumes for them to humiliate them, and then realizes he spends most of his day with some guy or other wearing a helmet.
"It's like dunking your wang in hot lava, something you'd know about eh?"
and
"Hey Crayola ome over here, yeah, just reach up there with your staff of Ra and..."
And then my all time favorite quote, which demonstrates he's offended by even inanimate objects... Spoiler
"Fuck you stripey bag!"

Yes, but it doesn't really need much reason anyway. It's a sinister name that pretty much advertises 'evil guy' I'd expect most people who hear it go 'eh...'

Like Star Destroyer? Or Death Star? The Empire is full of stuff that screams evil.

Except there's nothing inherently evil about Star Destroyers or the Death Star other than possibly the colouring.

Death Star has some pretty ominous overtones to it. Star Destroyer is just a designation, though, like Star Cruiser. No different than our modern naval "Destroyer."

I must admit I was thinking about their function, not their designation, so yeah, I can see where Death Star has a somewhat evil tint to it.

A big warship bristling with guns and a space station bristling with guns, one that's designed to blow up planets, called "Star Destroyer" and "Death Star" respectively, don't seem at least a teeny bit sinister to you?
Because I'm kinda sure that's what Lucas was aiming for.
