Lucasfilm bankrolling Robot Chicken special? Source is Dino Stamatopoulos, whose Moral Orel shares a production facilty (but, I assume, not a nondisclosure agreement) with the Chicken folks.
Jedinet was only mostly dead
For the last week or so, venerable fansite Jedinet has been forwarding to a GoDaddy park page. Well today it’s back – and it’s gone blog. Ha!
