The Force is strong with this episode of FAMILY GUY that devotes an entire hour to STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE.

From Mos Eisley to the Millennium Falcon no element of Lucas s beloved universe is safe from McFarlane s hilarious satire.

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

The Greatest Star Wars Cartoon To Ever Be Made
I've been a Family Guys fan since watching the repeats on Cartoon Network and have bought all the sets so far so after seeing this one released I knew I had to get it. Just seeing how they made the Griffin family into the lovable star wars characters we all knew(Except for Meg who's only cameo was the garbage monster in the death star compactor)Stewie was always a megalomaniac so he of course was the perfect Darth Vader,Lois got to be Princess Leia,Peter was the dashing Han Solo,Brian The Intelligent Chewie,Cleavland as the feisty R2D2,Quagmire as the Lusty Threepio,and finally Chris became the renown Luke Skywalker(Lets not say who they picked to be Obi-Wan). They also had an amazing interview with George Lucas and hearing him talk about how Star Wars came to be and his life now is incredible. You also get commentaries from the creator of Family guy and
some advertisements for the family guy show.The video format is full screen with 5.1 surround sound so for the price the dvds going for add this one to your collection today...

If Ever There Were A Star Wars Parody, Blue Harvest Is The Definitive
For those who are regular watchers of Family Guy you will already know how easily they parody TV shows and movies in sketches that literally last a few seconds. Now they've decided to go one better and make a feature length episode as a parody of Star Wars Episode 4, and let me tell you this is just as strong as those few second long clips. Here is the scrolling writing that Star Wars is famous for but with a Family Guy twist on it all.

A long time ago, but somehow in the future.

Episode IV

It is a time of civil war,
and renegade paragraphs
floating through space.

There's cool space battles,
and the bad guy is the
good guy's dad, but you
don't find that out 'til the
next episode.

And the hot chick is really
the sister of the good
guy, but they don't know it,
and they kiss. which is
kind of messed up. I mean,
what if they had done it
instead of just kissed?

Angelina Jolie kissed her
brother. Yeah, she did. You
know it, I know it and
her Dad knows it. That's
why they hardly ever talk
anymore. You can run away to
Africa, but you can't run
away from the truth.

Oh, by the way, here's
a tip for you: when this
is over, go out and rent
the movie "Gia." She's way
naked in it, and makes out
with another chick and
everything. It's awesome.
I stumbled across it late
at night on HBO after I
had just got back from
hockey, and I almost
fainted. But I digest...

Princess Leia was coming
back from buying space
groceries when this
happened...

When reading that at the start of this, I just knew that the episode would be amazing. Chris as Luke, Lois as Leia, Stewie as Darth Vader, Peter as Han, Brian as Chewbacca and Hebert as Obie Wan Kenobie. Other Family Guy characters obviously take other roles from the Star Wars universe and they all blend together in a brilliant movie/feature length episode.

Buy it. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Seth did a great job with this one. If you like the family guy and star wars and also have a sense of humor this is a must see.

Copy, paste, trace
The idea is easy to follow-Family Guy does a Star Wars bit.Now, as a fan of both, I was bored.There are many small scenes that are almost perfect recreations of actual scenes from the movie.Had they not been slow, boring backrounds without talking that didnt add to the plot that would have been fine.Add a few of these and it might get on your nerves. Good effort, but Ive seen it, I know it, I dont need to see it again.

The second problem with this is the jokes.Just like the Stewie Movie, the good jokes are scarce.There is one running gag throughout involving Peter and a great Meg appearance that got me going, but other then that there arent many good lines for any of the other characters.That and a song that I could have done without.

Rent it, or if your a serious Family Guy fan buy one of the dvds used for cheap, but I cant see spending real money on this.
