Freakin Sweet!

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?

More laughs than a dancing Stormtropper

Ok I purchased the special edition with the trading cards 3-D glasses, t-shirt, and booklet and they are all great collectables to have. The show itself was a well thought of and great tribute to the greatest sci-fi series of all time. Family Guy makes so many Star Wars references on each episode that it was only fitting that they did this show. Any Star Wars fan can find all the humor and intellegence that only a true fan could have come up with. Thanks guys for keeping us SW geeks happy with a little new footage to add to our collections.Read full review...

I think its great!.....

I think the Family Guy Blue Harvest is the best thing since sliced bread. I grew up with the original Trilogy and a new hope is my fav so this realy appealed to me. The dvd is packed with extras and the special edition is so worth the money for all the extra stuff like T shirt, Collecter cards etc... I beleive this stuff will be highly sort after in a few years, I guess its as good as official star wars items. Anywho! just watch the film, its brilliant, I love it and have told everyone i meet about it. I tattoo so I meet alot of people and have been spreading the word. BUY THIS DVD, ITS AWESOME!Read full review...

Family Guy Blue Harvest special edition DVD box set

I bought this DVD box set for 2 reasons, first for my son who loves Family Guy and second, for myself, because I collect trading cards and this DVD box set came with an exclusive set of cards that you can't find anywhere else.
As for the movie, it was somewhat disappointing. It wasn't as good as I thought it would have been. The Special Edition box set has other intersting items such as a story book, 3-D glasses and a t-shirt which is really cool.Read full review...

Family Guy Roasts Star Wars...barbecue, actually

I saw this Family Guy episode on commercial TV and thought it was a riot. Almost every joke, large or small, delivers a solid punch. There are a few weak spots, such as the Dirty Dancing "Time of My Life" parody, but not enough to ding the rating down from excellent. The integration of the Family Guy cast into Star Wars roles, compressing the entire movie into 45 minutes for TV, is fantastic. Good bonus features.Read full review...

crude humor and funny comments throughout...funny & fun!

if you like Star Wars and spoofs then this will be up your alley. humorous parts throughout the short skit (about an hour) but enjoyable. be warned there are some vulgar language sprinkled about in the film, but other than that, it still has its funny moments. my only complaint is that it is short in length and should have been longer.Read full review...

Must Have for people who LOVE Family Guy!

I bought the Blue Harvest gift set for a coworker as a gift. She RAVED about it. She and her husband loved the movie and the other items included with the gift set. She and I are both Family Guy fans so she said she would let me borrow the movie after they watched it. I think they loved it so much that she's afraid to lend it out because I STILL haven't seen that movie!
If you love the Family Guy series, you should DEFINITELY get this set!Read full review...
