Okay, first let's get the business out of the way -- Robot Chicken has it's second Star Wars episode tonight on [adult swim]. Tune in, okay? Better yet for them, buy the DVD when it comes out so that they can keep funding seasons of The Venture Bros. and Shin Chan.
And more Robot Chicken, of course.
Geoff Boucher's LA Times blog Hero Complex:
"When we do 'Star Wars,' it does seem to really work so well and I
think it's because everyone is so familiar with the mythology, it's
universal, everyone instantly connects and also there's also a lot
there to have fun with, in our very loving and slightly weird way,"
Green said. He said this entire production went back at pretty amazing
pace of 14 weeks from blank page to completed footage. "We've become
super efficient," he said. "Alarmingly efficient, in fact. And
when it's 'Star Wars' we're always swinging for the fences and we're
very happy with the finished product. It's about 100 people
collaborating, counting the writers and the actors and the costumes and
the puppeteers and everything else. It's a huge endeavor but it's going
so smooth and it's just so much fun. "

Green said getting to spend time with Lucas has been one of the great
(and unexpected) treats of his show-biz career. And he said that the
filmmaker is "just a super guy, which maybe people don't always get
when they are looking on from a distance." He added: "There's this
whole side that is just great and warm and funny."
Sure, sure, now on to the important stuff. After the jump, I've amassed some recent pics of Seth. Great eyebrow shaping. I've always considered my eyebrows to be one of the things that makes me not TV ready. If I ever really have to be on TV (instead of watching it, my appearance as "Jennifer's friend" on her winning episode of Pyramid notwithstanding).
You know, if a gun was pressed to my temple with a guy screaming "Get on the teevee!" Because that happens all the time.
And just for fun, a clip from the last RCSW ep last June. After the jump.
