Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and agree with everyone in saying that it's ridiculous to charge people $25 for 1 episode of a tv series. However, it does come with other stuff. The episode itself is hilarious, and is just a really well done parady of A New Hope. The shirt that comes with it also looks pretty good. It is a rip off, but the product is still top notch.

This is a must for Family Guy and Star Wars fans. My only complaint is that it is entirely too short. Coming in at a scant 45 minutes, it's barely longer than an actual episode of Family Guy. That being said, the usual Family Guy humor is alive and well in this DVD. I would advise buying the non-special edition: the extras (t-shirt, collectables, etc) aren't impressive (unless you happen to wear an XL-tee and actually want to wear an XL tee with Family Guy on it - then go for it).
The extras aren't very good, either - commentary is pretty good, but the rest (including an awkward and tense interview with George lucas) are fairly boring.

WOW! What a treat for both the fans of Star Wars and Family Guy. I can remember when they aired this hilarious tribute episode a few months ago, I said to my fiancee they better put this one out solo on DVD and that it would be great if they gave it a bells and whistles collectors edition release. Well fans in this humble reviewers opinion they surpassed my expectations. The XL t-shirt is worth the extra few bucks alone. I couldn't be more happier with what I got here for $25-$30. This special collectors edition is loaded with special treats for us fans that you can find out more about here at amazon. I'm so glad that the t-shirt came in a larger size because everyone knows(or should know) that it's much easier for a smaller person to deal with a larger size than the other way around. If you love Star Wars and Family Guy and if you love to collect DVD's then this has your name written all over it. ENJOY!

Funny where it needs to be
and completely respectful to Star Wars, it pays homage while not straying from the Family Guy format....
and it is by far the best spoof i have ever seen-
and well written-
to me this is a GREAT Boxed set-
i LOVE the extras-
and i just don't understand why people are complaining- if you want to TiVo it, or buy it on ITunes, then do it, but for those of us that like boxes sets because we are "collectors" then well, this is for us.
if you aren't, then please stop complaining about good marketing.
thank you.

Seth McFarlane is, clearly, a geek. I for one am quite happy about this. What other TV show is there with so many hilarious references to things like "Speed Racer", "Star Trek" and, of course, "Star Wars"?
According to the commentary on this DVD, the show did so many SW spoofs they were told by the Legal Department they needed to knock it off or Lucasfilm might have grounds for action against them. Rather than stop, McFarlane and friends went to George Lucas and got permission to do a full hour-long episode.
The result? "Blue Harvest".
Not only is this a hilarious "Star Wars" spoof, but we also get references to things like "American Dad", "Airplane!", "Doctor Who", "Robot Chicken", the Wilhelm Scream, the pointless contents of gift-baskets and why repairing a Y-wing engine can be risky.
There's some dead-on parody of various elements in SW, like the illogic of stormtroopers noticing that a door is locked and ignoring it, and the fact that parsecs are a measurement of distance not time. On the plus side, Han/Peter DOES shoot first, so there ya go.
Really my only real criticism of the episode is that it is, if anything, too short. But what there is of it is really good.
This collector's edition DVD set is really nice. In addition to the episode (with footage not shown on TV), you get tons of extras, including commentary and a fun interview with George Lucas! Plus, hey, trading cards and a t-shirt. The shirt is, of course, XL. Never it let it be said they don't know their fan-base.
If you like "Family Guy" and "Star Wars", buy this. If you don't, you'll sink into a cesspit of self-loathing and hatred that you'll never work your way out of... well, ok, possibly not. But you will miss out on something very entertaining, and that's bad enough!
