Daytime Emmy and Gemini Award-winner Jennifer Hill ("The Backyardians") will produce with Todd Grimes ("Back at the Barnyard") directing. Brendan Hay ("The Daily Show") will be among the writers and Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, creators and executive producers of "Robot Chicken," will have "creative involvement.

No start date or network for the comedy skein have been announced.
Not sure how I feel about this.

I think George Lucas wants nothing more than to troll all the fans of Star Wars to death.

I'm not even a fan of Star Wars, and he annoys the hell out of me.

At least Seth McFarlane is not involved. I am not sure that Star Wars is well suited to a pure comedy anyway.

Oh no, the integrity of Star Wars is being tarnished.

Because that has never happened before.
