StarWars.com also did an interview with Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich which you can check out here along with the details of the Episode III release.

You have some great extras on this release including a really funny skit with the Maker called “Sunday in the Boardroom with George Lucas.” How did the idea for that come about?

Seth: We saw that Seth MacFarlane had interviewed George Lucas for the Family GuyStar Wars special DVD, and we were like, “Why can’t we interview George?” Instead of doing a sit-down interview with him, we decided to have a round table discussion with him. He’s a really funny and sarcastic and clever creator. And no one ever gets to see that side of him. So we asked him really silly questions. We were in a unique position because we represent the fan base and we understand the things that fans want to see.

Matthew Senreich: It was the most informal meeting I’ve ever had with George. There was slapping.

Matt also revealed that the deleted Mara Jade sketch will also be included in the bonus features.
