Revisiting this classic after so many years, strange to say but it is a little dated. But still, it holds up. Definitely one of better Star Wars parody out there. I believe this was made back during the height of Family Guy's run. I saw an episode of Family Guy a few weeks ago and it is not as funny as it used to be when comparing it to a decade ago. Anyway, this is worth checking out if you are a Star Wars fan. I thought this was a solo, stand alone film but appertaining this is officially part of the TV show series. Good to know. It is always nice having useless information like that flouting around in my head. Needless to say this generation is doomed. And this end my review.

Oh the most clever thing yet, they have some very good skill I mean everything in it I don't think I could come up with what they made fun of, like at the start when all the Rebel's go towards the door that the Empire is boarding from one of the Rebel's say, "What if they come in a different door?" And "Luke, Luke, Luke! Don't forget to tell uncle Owen not to tell you your father is Darth Vader!" The epic jokes really do roll on and on, any family guy fan should go out and buy the DVD, I would suggest the same for Star Wars fan because of the intelligent ways the humor scales into the episode, even though I have a strong feeling they will do the other 2 parts. But I doubt the first 3 will made.. Oh wait... now I think about it could be done. But a lot of characters would need to be created, Anakin (Stewie) Anakin older (Stewie from the "Movie") etc etc. Well I'm ranting but still very epic movie.

In Britain this two-part Family Guy special, celebrating the 30 year anniversary of the first in the Star Wars Trilogy, was released separately (not in a season box set), and what a special it is. When the TV stops working, the Griffin family: Lois (Alex Borstein), Stewie (MacFarlane), Chris (Seth Green) and Meg (Mila Kunis); listen to Peter (Seth MacFarlane) tell the story of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, and this is when the story sees the fantastic spoof of the first great movie. You probably know the story: R2-D2 (Cleveland, voiced by Mike Henry) and C-3PO (Quagmire, voiced by MacFarlane) escape an attacked ship. Princess Leia (Lois) is kidnapped by Darth Vader (Stewie) and Governor Tarkin (Adam West). Luke Skywalker (Chris) dreams of leaving home, and when his Uncle Owen (Lois's dad, voiced by MacFarlane) and Aunt Beru (Lois's mum, voiced by Borstein) are killed by stormtroopers, Obi-Won Kenobi (Herbert the old paedophile, voiced by Henry) takes him to become a Jedi, and get off the planet with the help of Han Solo (Peter) and Chewbacca (Brian, voiced by MacFarlane) in the Millennium Falcon. Obviously they go on the Death Star, Obi-Won is killed by Vader, and the Rebels get together against the Empire to destroy the space station. Oh, and Meg by the way is the creature in the garbage shoot. Phew! Also starring MacFarlane as Tom Tucker, Lori Alan as Diane Simmons, Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold, Beverly D'Angelo as Ellen Griswold, Mick Hucknall, Phil LaMarr as Ollie Williams and Patrick Warburton as Joe Swanson. For anyone that doesn't know (apart from maybe the mega Star Wars fanatics), Blue Harvest was the fake working title for Return of the Jedi. The jokes, including a mock of Dirty Dancing's "I've Had the Time of My Life", the music of John Williams (and Danny Elfman), quotes in the film, and some cool animated effects, this is an essential spoof for any fan of Star Wars and/or Family Guy. Very good!

i think that this is one of the best things the family guy team have done they have done good with this but i feel they were disrespectful to star wars in some ways for example they replaced many of the best and funniest jokes with humourless and tasteless jokes which annoyed me because the quotes are what i loved about the original trilogy i hated the way stewie portrayed darthvader making him stupid and rubbish in my view very disrespectful to the real Darth Vader who in my view is one of the best movie villains of all time and stewies Vader was far from the evil Vader we know and love i liked Chris a Luke funny and acting exactly , like Luke did in the films the same for peter as Han, loris as Leia, Brian as chewbacca and Hebert as obi wan was my favourite character out of the episode funny as hell plus the other characters were good as well and another criticism of the episode is that they mixed up some of the scenes as star war fans will notice but in my view a funny and great episode of family guy
