If you are a fan of Star Wars, and Family Guy at the same time, you might just get a great kick out of this show.... So funny and so wrong in so many ways....
Star Wars spoofs go waaaay back so this is not the first time a good parody has been made but it is probable the best! This is not a story like Episode 3, it is Episode 3 Family Guy style. Family Guy worked with Lucas Film on the project and got permission to use the original score and other copyrighted material. This is a tight and funny take on the story.
Family Guy - Blue Harvest is an excellent DVD, I'm looking forward to purchasing the Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side. It looks to be a HI-LARIOUS purchase, I can't wait, wait a tic, I don't have to wait-it's on DVD as I type this, WOO HOO!
Considering the number of Star Wars gags in Family guy I guess they decided to bypass the whole bothering to go with a story and just do the original Star Wars movie.
The first thing you notice is the score, it is, well the score for Star Wars, (except when they do the theme to "The People's Court". It demonstrates that music really makes the mood.
Of course the nearly shot for shot sequence, a faithfulness to the story with the normal family guy gags peppered in makes it s must have for Star Wars fans.
Look for Roger from American Dad!, Vol. 4, several cameos from Rush Limbaugh to Helen Reddy and TV pop culture gags from Tom Baker's Doctor who to Deal or no Deal, to the Blues Brothers.
The one real weakness is the use of Herbert as Obi-Wan and the resulting Gay Pedophile jokes that follow.
One rather ironic gag is the almost total absence of Meg in the story only showing up as the trash monster.
If you are a family guy fan or a star wars fan you will almost certainly like this show, it has enough pop-culture gags to keep the rest of us interested for the entire hour.
Seth. Please stop butchering the best sci-fi saga of all time. Incorporating overused Family Guy quotes into a barely-Star Wars setting is NOT a Star Wars parody.
The whole point of a parody is to celebrate the original film. There is no celebration of Star Wars here- Only a smug, arrogant jackass named Seth spreading his poorly-written lines into a beloved series of movies to promote and affirm his own show and ratings.
Instead of actually poking fun at Star Wars with clever scene twists, unasked questions, or any of the like, Seth and his team bank on the childish humor of distracting from the plot-line, replacing Star Wars characters with Family Guy characters (Meg as the garbage chute monster, Stewie as Darth Vader, Herbert the pervert as Obi-Wan, etc.), and of course, the pointless, overused Family Guy lines that any viewer is far more than familiar with.
As a big-headed praise for themselves, it's great. As a celebration of a much-loved sci-fi saga, it's an embarrassment, and any true Star Wars fan could agree.
