I'm a huge fan of FG and I loved the movie (except there was no "giggidy" at all....what's up with that?!), anyway, having said that I would recommend to just save some bucks by just buying the regular version. Here are the flaws of the Deluxe version:
- the shirt only comes in "XL", which you only find out when you've already purchased the DVD and opened it. We are not all as big as Peter Griffin you know. I wear "M" and wouldn't have made a big deal if it was at least "L".
- the 3D scene... what 3D?!! it looks the same with or without the glasses. The only thing I was able to see with the glasses was the image formed when putting together all the cards.
Unless you're a FG collector, just spend your money on the regular version.

As is stated repeatedly on the Commentary Track, there was no Rotoscoping of the original film by the Family Guy artist team. They hand-drew or computer-generated everything themselves, though you would SWEAR they painted over cells of the original film! The artwork of the Millennium Falcon and the Imperial Star Destroyers (is that one word or two?)as they fly through space is just too good to be believed.
As for the jokes, not all are slam-dunks but there are far more hits than misses. The only segment that brought things to a screeching halt was the "Dirty Dancing" musical number.
There are a few clever jokes that poke fun at the original movie's lapses in logic. The ending is a bit abrupt, but maybe we can chalk that up to the fact that FG already did the Throne Room Medal Ceremony scene (the final scene in "Star Wars") in an earlier episode of the TV series. They already used up the best ending.
I bought the collector's edition. The bonus goodies are kinda neat so long as you buy the thing at a sale price.
The collector's edition includes a pair of 3-D glasses to watch a 3-D bonus segment following the escape from the Death Star, but the effect doesn't really work that well.
The set also includes a second disc that lets you download the entire episode to your PC or iPod. I don't know if that is exclusive to the Collector's edition or if it comes with the standard edition too.
Collector's edition comes with a T-shirt too, but being a man of Peter Griffin-esque girth, it simply ain't gonna fit me.

I did not actually become a fan of THE FAMILY GUY until after the series was brought back as a result of really good DVD sales. This episode stands out as one of my favorites...clever, funny and great animation. I will admit, I am guilty of buying this DVD falling into the trap that Fox has laid out. The more I think about it the more mad I get at the way they are releasing DVD's for both THE FAMILY GUY and AMERICAN DAD. It really shows how greedy they are and it is not good for the consumer. These are two of my favorite series on TV and I do have all of the DVDs. The problem I am now having is that they are not releasing full seasons on these box sets...and they are doing this for no other reason than to make more money. The creators of these shows should be appreciative of the fact that they have such a loyal fan base. If they didn't THE FAMILY GUY would never have been brought back. How do they repay us? By releasing DVD sets with half a season on each for the same price that other companies are releasing full seasons on DVD for! C'mon guys...wise up. Both shows are shown in repeat on multiple channels almost daily and pretty much everyone owns either a VCR or DVD recorder so taping these shows is not a problem. I myself prefer the DVD quality that you don't always get, even with an HD broadcast, but its getting to the point where I can't afford to continue buying these sets, especially when they are incomplete. I do recommend this episode to all fans of both THE FAMILY GUY and STAR WARS and I do think the deluxe set with the little bonuses is worth the price but at the rate Fox is going I doubt I will be buying any more boxed sets of half seasons.

This was a terrible movie!!! Don't waste your money. It has none of the Family Guy humor. I think I might have laughed once. Technically it is done really well as far as the animation and following the scenes from Star Wars. They could have done a much, much better job with this movie, it had alot of potential. For the most part it was just boring, so I guess its a good thing this was not very long.

As already being a fan of the Star Wars Legacy and Family Guy, I was excited when I saw the commercials for the Family Guy Star Wars Special. I knew this was different then just the regular episodes, and like so many others, I tuned in and was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the storyline similar and different to the actual movies, it also had its own subtleties that made it unique to the way only Family Guy could do it. The movie is based on "A New Hope" (the one that came out in 1977), launching a generation of Star Wars loyalists. Everyone gets a part, and I love Stewie as Darth. It was a perfect fit as he tries yet again to conquer the world.
You can get either the regular DVD or the special edition pack. I am not really sure what's in the regular DVD, but I just bought the special edition at a store today and you get everything. Obviously, the biggest reason you would get the special edition version is because of the shirt. I love it. The details and colors are amazing. What's funny is, it looks like C-3PO/Quagmire is asking R2-D2/Cleveland about his sister's lesbot.
Additional goodies that you get are the baseball style cards, where one side you can put together and its a jigsaw puzzle (I wont spoil it for you), the 3-D glasses so you can watch the fight scene in 3-D. The 19 page booklet is included with sketches and storyboard. Another great feature is that Disc 2 includes the movie where you can transfer it to computer, video iPod, iPhone, and other portable media players. What that means is you can watch the movie on your iPhone, Zune, etc. The final piece is the box. Its actually a great finish piece that puts everything into place neatly and you can even use it as a centerpiece display to show off.
It's worth it. I don't think it's a rip-off like other people claim. You get a lot for 25 dollars, and I am happy and I know that this is something I will enjoy for a really long time. Freakin' Sweet.
