Ever wanted to know what goes into your chicken? Specifically, what goes into the making of Robot Chicken: Star Wars, which arrives on DVD on July 22 from Adult Swim and Warner Home Video.

The folks behind the hilarious animated show -- creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich and co-head writer/producers Tom Root and Doug Goldstein -- want to hear from you and answer your questions and bask in your praise and adulation. Simply post your question in this message board thread and we'll then get these questions over to the Robot Chicken team for them to look at and answer on July 22.

For more details about the Robot Chicken DVD release, see this story here[.

Have you guys ever been tempted to take some of the action figures and stuff home just to play around with?

Ok, my question - How do you guys decide which of you plays which characters?
Everyone must want to play Vaderkins, or Palpy or Fett, but who decides who gets the short straw and plays the slightly less cool characters like Headbanging Stormtrooper, Yaddle and 6th Pit Droid?

Oh, and thanks for making me laugh so hard watching the episode one of the legs on my computer chair snapped off and I was launched into the desk and onto the floor.
Very dignified (and totally true).

Hi, Mr. Green and Mr. Senreich!

I'd like to ask;

Are planning to do any more Star Wars sketches, or indeed, any more Star Wars specials? (I do hope I see more skits based on the prequal trilogy)

What other specials could you do/want to do? (Personally, I'd like to see one based on the Alien/Predator/Terminator films!)

Regards,

JediTarantino

okay why haven't you made more star wars skits?

but really where do the ideas come from for you skits and how do you choose the characters to be in them?

example: Admiral Ackbar cereal

cheers!

For the puppet armatures, do you use the standard 12" figures and cannibalized Mego figures, or are the armatures custom-made? If it is the latter, where could the aspiring animator acquire similar armatures?

What is the scale you usually work with and how many frames per second do you usually film at?

To keep figures standing during filming, how do you usually anchor or support them?

I'm curious as to what ideas for sketches were rejected. What kinds of ideas were floated, but didn't appear in the final episode? I'd guess there was a fair bit of brainstorming, and probably plenty of suggestions thrown about, so I'll specify that I'm most interested in the ideas that made it furthest along before being scrapped and/or the most outlandish suggestions.

Thanks for giving us this opportunity!

Awesome! Can we have more Star Wars Robot Chicken?^_^ After the success of the first, what are the odds of you guys doing it again, 3,720 : 1? Also, would it be possible to arrange a Q&A in the Robot Chicken forum in [as.com] for all things Robot Chicken? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as many of the questions posed there would be best answered by someone actually involved with its production.

Were there any skits that Lucasfilm asked you to cut or change?

Love Admiral Ackbar cereal and Ponda Baba skit.

First off.... The writers of this show are amazing. I love the Star Wars special and can't wait to see it on DVD. Second, you need more eppisodes where Seth either gets shot, blown up, falls down or more favorable, kicked in the nutz. You really need to abuse that guy more on screen. Seth's pain is what makes america laugh, never for get that.

I'm sure you have more Star Wars shorts planed, but do you already have Lucas consent to make more and do you have any story boarded or farther at this point?
