Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
What better way to commemorate Star Wars' 30th anniversary than with this double-length Very Special Episode, a full-scale, awesomely animated spoof that recasts George Lucas's 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 paedophile, is Obi-Wan (both voiced by Mike Henry); and, of course, Stewie (Seth, one more time) 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 old 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's 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, Amazon.com

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great but more Star Wars than Family Guy and so short
and I was surprised it was so short, being 45 minutes and only Episode 4. I had for some reason thought it was 75 minutes and the first three films. Also don't expect the anarchy and comedy of regular Family Guy episodes, I would say it is more a homage to Star Wars with Family Guy overlaid.

The storyline, script and even some shots closely if not exactly follow the film and this is where I enjoyed it as they are so well done. I didn't really laugh like I do with regular FG, but it is a different product and should be viewed as such.

I am guessing that they will eventually do the other films depending on the success of this and whilst I would say it is worth the cost of a rental I really can't say it is worth purchasing ... Read More:



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - spat in the face
after stewie griffon the untold story i was mildly offended by the family guy producers. it wasnt a a film of any description just 3 episodes played back to back and as a massive family guy fan that simply wasnt good enough. this was a new low; £14 for a 45 minute episode with jokes that fell short of the series anyway was and absolute insult. both futurama and the simpsons managed to pull off a passable feature length and the lazy approach seen here i think shows how little the producers regard the fans.
dont buy this at all!!! its not even very entertaining. besides it will probably just be on BBC 3 some time soon.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ignore those few idiots
People that rated this to be 1 star are complete idiots, do not listen to those fools, they have either never seen Star Wars, or prefe South Park, (Because apparently South Park is full of mature, deep, humour?)

This spoof is absolutely brilliant and comes with plenty of laughs (once again, they are mainly star wars jokes, so if you haven't seen Episode 4, you better!)

My favourite has to be when Cleveland-D2 gets shot and he shouts "WHAT AM I? ARTOO-PAC?"

A very clever, very funny, very well written spoof of a Cult Classic.

Family Guy does it again.

10/10



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cry with laughing you will
The first time i saw this i nearly wet myself! It's short but vey funny! I liked the sofa bit alot....!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic!
Ok, I see how many people like/dislike this episode. Some are right, people who don't like star wars probably won't like this. But then again if you don't like star wars why are you reviewing or even watching the star wars episode? People who either don't like star wars or family guy shouldn't watch this. It will just divide and start fights if people try to watch and know that they won't like it. If you like it cool, I'm with you on that one. If you don't keep your opinion to yourself because you probably just don't like a small aspect of it.
In closing, if your a fan of both family guy and star wars you'll love this. If you aren't try sticking to the originals.
