All right Family Guy fans!!

Family Guy returns this Sunday night with an hour long Star Wars Parody Special
(George Lucas APPROVED!)

Blue Harvest

With the Griffins stuck at home during a blackout, Peter begins to tell a story, which leads to a Star Wars flashback. Acting out scenes from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Peter plays Han Solo, Lois is Princess Leia, Stewie becomes Darth Vader, Brian plays Chewbacca, and Chris is Luke Skywalker. Cleveland and Quagmire will play the parts of R2-D2 and C-3PO, while Herbert is the wise Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Also to add, Meg is seen in the episode as a Dianoga. When asked by a fan at Celebration IV about the role of Joe Swanson, Tom Tucker, and Diane Simmons, Seth MacFarlane said that Joe would be Biggs, and Tom and Diane would be Imperial news agents covering the escape of Princess Leia.

I'm not the biggest fan of Family Guy but I wanted to check this episode out since I'm a Star Wars fan. Overall, I thought this was a funny episode.

They made great recreations of shots from the movie. Brian and Peter stealing the couch was pretty funny. My favorite line was "Great shot, kid. Don't get penis-y!".

And from the I-can't-believe-I-know-this-but-I-do category, I'm pretty sure that former Simpsons director and current FG director Dominic Polcino is animated in the background of the cantina (when Han shoots Greedo).

My favorite bit was at the end when they were talking about Robot Chicken.

A really strong episode that — due to it's ANH backbone — actually maintained a solid story through its running time. They were smart with jokes that were dropped early and played off later.

Everything about the couch had me dying. I'm a poor twenty-something that hangs out exclusively with poor twenty-somethings, so everything about that rang true. I've had roommates that found their mattresses on the curb in almost exactly that situation. Fitting a too-large piece of furniture through the door is a nightmare I think we can all relate to.

I really thought this season opener was fantastic! I could just imagine how cool everyone involved in the creation of "Family Guy" thought making this episode was.

I thought it was hysterical that Meg was the garbage monster LOL Poor Meg...

I also liked the couch bit...I can't tell you how many times I've had to move some piece of furniture only to get it caught in doorways and have to figure it all out.

I also thought the bit with Danny Elfman was hysterical!

Great 2D rotoscoping, and even a Wilhelm! The "Dirty Dancing" bit was unnecessarily long, though. Loved Mayor West as Governor Tarkin. Anybody know who Greedo was supposed to be?

"Man, Hyperspace always looks freaky"

A joke that like three americans got.

And i'm proud to say that i'm one of them.

This episode was hysterical in how at times it actually made me think for a *split secnd* that I was indeed watching A New Hope.

Stewie as Lord Vader reminded me of an even smaller Dark Helmet from Spaceballs but my top two favorite bits were the couch and...

"Red Buttons standing by."

"Red Foxx standing by."

"Big Red standing by."

"Simply Red standing by."

"Red October standing by."

One thing, though, they should have been a little more creative with some of the more popular scenes from ANH, like when Han shot Greedo he should have turned to the camera and said something like "Alright ya happy? I shot first so stop your bitchin' and moanin'" or when the the Stormtrooper hit his head the other ST should have called him a dumbass.

Also loved the Vacation ("Roll em' up.") and Airplane! jokes, particularly..."I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you."

I believe that Greedo was Cleveland.

Hillarious episode. The "casting" was perfect.
