What better way to launch Family Guy's sixth season and commemorate Star Wars' 30th anniversary than with this double-length Very Special Episode, a full-scale, awesomely animated spoof that recasts George Lucas' saga with Family Guy's galaxy of characters: Chris (Seth Green) is Luke; Lois (Alex Borstein) is Princess Leia; Peter (Seth McFarlane) is Han Solo, but not, as expected, Jabba the Hut; Brian (Seth, again) is Chewbacca; Quagmire (and again, Seth) is C3PO; Cleveland is R2D2; Herbert, the creepy senior pedophile, is Obi-Wan (both voiced by Mike Henry); and, of course, Stewie (Seth, already) is Darth Vader ("My diapers have gone over to the dark side"). Poor Meg is reduced to a cameo as the hideous reptilian creature that haunts the garbage compactor. Blue Harvest is reverently faithful to A New Hope, while engaging in typical Family Guy pop-culture references (everything from those old Grey Poupon commercials to Doctor Who, Airplane, Dirty Dancing, and Deal or No Deal) and bizarre digressions (the iconic opening crawl detours into an appreciation of a "way naked" Angelina Jolie in Gia). Along for the wild ride are Judd Nelson, who contributes a voice cameo as John Bender for a Breakfast Club gag, Rush Limbaugh railing against futuristic affirmative action on Tatooine talk radio, and Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase as the vacationing Griswolds observing the rebellion from their orbiting station wagon. A Star Wars spoof in 2007 isn't exactly uncharted territory. As Chris Griffin notes in this episode's final moments, Robot Chicken brilliantly did it months earlier (and let us not forget Mel Brooks' Spaceballs from 1987; or, on second thought...). But the Force is strong with Family Guy, and who could resist the opportunity to hear the Muzak playing in a Death Star elevator? --Donald Liebenson

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - From a Star Wars and Family Guy fan...
Why did it take so long to do this? It is laugh-out-load funny! And I wear the special shirt all the time. I love this. I can't wait for the nest one, and yea, they are making another.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Awesome for the serious FG fan
This is the best Star Wars parody I've ever seen. Even non Family Guy fans will love it. This version includes a shirt, trading cards, and 3D glasses to watch the exclusive to this version 3d fight scene. Unless you're a really serious FG fan, just get the regular edition. The cards and shirt are cool, but the 3D scene is a waste. The quality is poor, and not worth bothering with, which is why I rate it 4 stars not 5. I loved the extras like Seth McFarlane's interview with George Lucas. He would hum tunes from different parts of different Star Wars movies, and see if George knew what part the tune came from. George missed them all. Classic. Either way, this dvd is awesome!


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Potty Mouthed Disgrace
This show is disgraceful and George Lucus ought to sue the morons that made this for every penny they have, if they have any left.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Its a great DVD, but...
This DVD special edition was good, price-wise for the goodies that came with it. The picture and the quality of the art work is wonderful, almost like they actually scanned the original Star Wars movie (maybe they did...).
But the story... they weren't too inventive, really. Basically copying the original story line. I had to buy this because I am a great fan of Star Wars and parody. But in terms of originality, I think Robot Chicken: Star Wars , which I bought at the same time from Amazon, was far more inventive and funny.
One thing about both DVDs is that both the creators are called Seth, and if they could have kept the humor clean my young sons who are big Star Wars fans would have been able to watch it. I guess some writers think dirty is funny...
Best part may be the excitement on the face of the exec producer when he is interviewing "The Checkered One", George Lucas!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Deathday by Eugene Bruce is far superior!
Deathday by Eugene Bruce would be better! Sorry what rubbish!!! Actually, Family Guy is far far far superior and Blue Harvest rocks but being an impoverished author i won't apologise for shamelessly promoting my debut novel Deathday by Eugene Bruce - I'd very much appreciate you checking it out that's DEATHDAY by EUGENE BRUCE - I love you America!
