Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side:

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…

Family Guy - Blue Harvest:
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Family Guy Yet, February 5, 2010

For the die hard FG fans, both segments are hysterical. Being a big star wars fan, I can totally appreciate the amazing attention to detail in the episodes from the music all the way to explosions.
I only wish there was an edited version that I could show my kids. My kids love Star Wars and they have caught me watching FG and they have seen some of the shows accidentally and they love it too. I dont let them hear or see anything adult.
I really enjoyed the commentary feature while watching. I like to hear all the behind the scenes stuff. There is some good info to be had here (e.g. Mark Hamill did NOT like the line where Han Solo says his is the only career not completely destroyed by the movie)

5.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars fans be happy, May 4, 2010

This is a great Star Wars parody for any Star Wars fan. It is very clever and seemlessly intertwines Star Wars and Family Guy. In fact, I kind of wish the carbon freezing scene in Something, Something, Something Dark Side happened in the real Empire Strikes back; classic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Star Wars fans but..., February 2, 2010

The second edition of this series was not nearly as funny as the first. I might be mad I bought this if I had not used a gift card. But then, it's Family Guys, so it's always at least a little bit funny
