Following on yesterday's DVD release of Robot Chicken's Star Wars parody extravaganza, Seth Green and company are planning a sequel:

Adult Swim's Robot Chicken travels back to a galaxy far, far away to create a second, all-new Star Wars-themed special. Premiering November 16 at 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT), Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II combines the satirical sensibilities of Seth Green and Matthew Senreich's (Stoopid Monkey Productions) Emmy-winning Robot Chicken with the unforgettable moments and favorite characters of the Star Wars universe. The special, to be directed by Green, is a follow-up to last year's Robot Chicken: Star Wars, which was nominated for an Emmy last week. Both specials and the Robot Chicken series are created in conjunction with ShadowMachine Films' Alex Bulkley and Corey Campononico.

Here's hoping it's a little more Empire Strikes Back and a little less Phantom Menace.
