Editorial Reviews

Chris Griffin is right: when it comes to obsessive geekery and mining absurdity from the minutiae of the Star Wars universe, the comic force is stronger with Robot Chicken. But Family Guy strikes back with the second episode in its goof on the original holy trilogy. The animation is more impressive than the jokes, which are scattered all over the galaxy--the good (an Empire recruitment film), the bad (Yoda's teachings revolve around guy-movie trivia), and the ugly (wholly gratuitous--and here unbleeped--F-bombs). Devoted viewers will catch in-jokes inside of other in-jokes (this program takes its title from the season 5 episode "Barely Legal," in which the Emperor discovers the formula for great Star Wars dialogue). There is some interesting stunt casting with nebbish Mort Goldman as Lando Calrissian and the Giant Chicken as Boba Fett. James Caan cameos, as does, sorta, Tom Selleck. And Meg is once again reduced to embodying a hideous space creature, although at least she gets a line of dialogue. The DVD and Blu-ray editions contain metachlorine-rich extra features, including lively (and at times slanderous) audio commentary by Seth MacFarlane, Seth Green, writer Kirker Butler, director Dominic Polcino, and others; optional trivia pop-ups; and a table read of the Something, Something script. There is also a sneak-preview table read of the next installment, We Have a Bad Feeling About This. If I were an Ewok, I'd be worried, or on the phone to a lawyer. --Donald Liebenson

Product Description

The story of The Empire Strikes Back is retold. Darth Vader (Stewie) is hunting the rebel Luke Skywalker (Chris) and his troops relentlessly across the galaxy. On the ice planet Hoth, Luke has a vision of his late mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Herbert), telling him to go to the Dagobah system to learn the ways of the Force under Jedi Master Yoda (Carl). Meanwhile Princess Leia (Lois) finds herself taking a shine to the scruffy pilot Han Solo (Peter) and, against all odds, the two soon fall in love. But an encounter with Han’s old friend Lando Calrissian (Mort) lands them in the clutches of the Empire. Envisioning this, Luke chooses to forgo his Jedi training to save his friends. It all comes to a head in a climactic confrontation with Darth Vader himself…


The Family Guy: Something, Something, Something, Darkside Blu-ray is presented in full screen 4x3 aspect ratio featuring English 5.1 Dolby Surround, Line 21, English for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, English, Spanish, and French stereo and subtitles.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Missed Opportunities December 23, 2009
Format:DVD
Family Guy is back with a second Star Wars Episode. Honestly, it shouldn't matter if you are a fan of The Empire Strikes Back or not (I don't care much for A New Hope but loved the FG episode). Here is what you need to know: Is it funny? Sure, there are some laughs. Could it be better? I think so. Was it as funny as the last one? In my opinion, no.

Is it funny?-The fact that the episode had me laughing in the first few minutes was a good sign (the probe droid scene was probably my favorite scene in the episode). They do well to incorporate characters into funny yet familiar roles in the most random of times. You will laugh at this episode, so that should be worth something.

Could it be better?-Well...that is kind of my whole point here. There are so many missed opportunities in this episode to poke fun at Star Wars or other actors/actresses that are not taken advantage of. No Luke kissing Leia jokes...no Lando crossing his friends...no jokes about the Ugnaughts (pig people)...come on! Is it too predictable? Maybe...but it still deserves a shot. Besides the missed jokes, some parts were just not too funny, like the AT-AT jokes on Hoth.

Was it as funny as the last one?-I have my criticisms about Blue Harvest and they transfer over to this one too, but Blue Harvest just seemed to have the classic Family Guy humor to it whereas this one didn't.

In the end, I am glad they made this one, hopefully learned some lessons for when they make Return of the Jedi. If you are a Family Guy Fan, definitely buy it as it is worth seeing. Rewatch value is not as good as Blue Harvest, but still a worthwhile investment.

Thanks again for the laughs, Family Guy!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you liked Blue Harvest, you'll like this too December 23, 2009
Format:Blu-ray
I'm assuming the majority of people reading this are familiar with Family Guy, and presumably Blue Harvest, and are therefore looking to see how this episode compares to Blue Harvest. Simply put, if you enjoyed Blue Harvest, rest assured you're likely going to enjoy this episode as well. My initial impressions rate this as comparable in quality to Blue Harvest, with enough "freshness" to keep it from feeling like a stale rehash, yet enough references to the first episode to hold the story together.

If by chance you haven't seen Blue Harvest, I'd recommend you see it first, as much like with Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, this episode continues the story and references previous jokes and plot points.

The Blu-ray edition comes with a digital copy of the episode, and is presented in 1.33:1 ratio (regular/full screen/standard/whatever you prefer to call it). The run time is between 54 and 55 minutes (the digital copy shows as 54:41), putting it 7 minutes, 8 seconds longer than Blue Harvest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Something something something funny December 23, 2009
Format:Blu-ray
It's no secret that Star Wars had a big impact on Seth MacFarlane, as evident throughout the entire series run of Family Guy, which more often than not is loaded with Star Wars-related references and gags. Blue Harvest, the first Family Guy/Star Wars mash-up was a blast, as is Something Something Something Dark Side, which this time around finds the denziens of Family Guy riffing and paying homage to The Empire Strikes Back. Like Blue Harvest before it, Something Something Something Darkside is surprisingly faithful to the source material, and is very, very funny to boot (seeing Mort dressed up like Lando is hilarious on its own, and Peter/Han's retort to Lois/Leia's declaration of love is even more so). Even though this installment is a little longer in running time compared to Blue Harvest, as a whole it's still too short, but the end result still packs enough laughs for your time and attention.

episode VI: We Have a Bad Feeling About This?
They might broadcast it to coincide with the 30th anniversary of "Return of the Jedi" in May 2013, but the DVD will most likely be available for purchase way before that.

Blue Harvest Bluray???
With Casablanca, they can go back to the film negative and do a high def transfer. It was originally created with a resolution far greater than standard def--they could do a 4k or 6k or 8k transfer if they wanted to, and it would still hold up because film has greater resolution than the 1080... Read more

Digital copy?
Looks like only the Blu-Ray version has digital copy. If so, Seth has gone over to the Blu-Ray dark side. Pathetic. Blue Harvest was the first DVD i bought because of digital copy. I only hope Target can repeat its digial copy for regular DVD, like they did for Terminator Salvation.

Blu-ray vs. DVD
Some will say yes, others will say no. Truth is, for me, it depends on how far you are sitting from the TV, as well as the actual size of the TV, resolution of the TV, and many different factors. It's really up to your own choice to decide what is right. You might however want to note that a... Read more
