I absolutely love this episode. I saw it before I ever saw any of the Star Wars movies, so I didn't get all of the references, and inside jokes, but I still found it funny. After seeing the Star Wars movies, I found it even funnier, because I had just seen what it was really like. Some may find it insulting because they're bagging on their favorite movie, but I embrace things like this. In this episode, the Griffin family are sitting at home, watching TV, when the power goes out. Peter decides to tell the tale of Star Wars. Everyone from the family, and other Family Guy cast members, play the roles of infamous characters, such as Han Solo, Leia, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. They take the scenes from Star Wars, recreate them in a similar manner, and then add other hilarious moments to make it even funnier.Fun Fact: Among the aliens in the cantina scene are Bender from Futurama, and Roger from American Dad.Fun Fact: At the end, Chris, and Peter argue about an episode of Robot Chicken, which Seth Green (who voices Chris) is the co-creator, producer, and director. Fun Fact: When Han Solo (Peter) disguises himself as a Storm Trooper, he still wears his glasses on the outside of his helmet.Favorite spoof-character: Stewie Griffin as Darth Vader.Best part of the episode: The thing with the couch.Overall, I give this episode a 9 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Amazing.

i thought this was a very funny and clever parody of the first Star Wars film.it's basically the characters from Family guy portraying the characters from the film.there are some inspired choices in which characters portray who.some of the lines are very funny.everything is very fast paced.it stays pretty true to the original film,while adding it's own unique spin.the DVD running time is listed as 48 minutes(it's actually a bit longer than that)so it's obviously condensed.anyway,i laughed a lot.as an aside,i noticed this particular episode seems toned down in term of pushing the envelope,at least compared to other episodes of Family Guy i have seen.maybe it's just my imagination,but,it doesn't seem as sick and twisted or perverse,though there is still some of that element.and yet it's still riotously funny.th version i watched is from Laugh it up Fuzzball:The Family Guy Trilogy collection which contains all three parodies of the first three original Star Wars films.for me Family Guy:Blue Harvest is an 8/10

When i first heard that Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy and American dad was doing a Family Guy Star Wars episode entitled "Blue Harvest" i thought 'oh this is too funny and i have to see this' and after many months, i finally got to see it, but not on TV but brought the DVD just this month and i could not stop laughing! Being a Star Wars fan first before i was a fan of Family Guy, i knew the Star Wars movies well and after seeing Family Guy episodes, i knew it would be full of gags and laughs, "I sited my pants" Stewie as Darth Vader says to Lois as Leia and Adam West as Tarkin and having Herbert as Obi Wan Kenobi was truly well casting as Chris was Luke Skywalker. i thought having Cleveland as R2 was very original and funny, lines like, "Yeah! that's how we do it in my neighborhood, b*****!" or Peter as Han Solo, "Oh you mean that thing you just found out about three hours ago and are now judging me for not believing in it?" The DVD contains scenes that were not on the television broadcast, that i did not know about until the commentary pointed out, which goes through all the details that went into making the story, including guest stars of the episode, not to mention features such as "The making of Blue Harvest" "A conversation with George Lucas" "Family Guy Star Wars clip show", it's amazing to see how many Star Wars gags are in the episodes and an "Introduction to Family Guy".If you love Star Wars and Family Guy, then this is for you, you'll laugh like you've never laughed before
