Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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.

Okay, most people seem to like Season 6's Ep. 1; and being one of the kids how grew up with SW in the 80's, there is nothing I enjoy more than a good comical shot at SW. I can waste hours watching parodies on YouTube.Having said this, you may understand that I was excited about this Episode, with the fanboy/insider title "Blue Harvest". Yet, after watching the 45 min version on DVD, I feel disappointed and annoyed.Why? The parody has no respect for the original material! You might say that this is the whole point, but no, the best spoofs and parodies emerge from love for the original material. Here, we observe a desire to ridicule it and rip it apart. Many scenes (and especially the score) are perfectly recreated. I was stunned by the accuracy. But mix that with Obi-Wan being a horny, child-molesting pervert, a talking R2-D2 and too many random family-guyesque (for lack of a better term) scenes (e.g., the couch steeling? almost like Hitler on a one-wheeled bike juggling fresh fish; indeed, that is seen in FamilyGuy), and you get this mess.Put another way, a line as "The Force penetrates us!" is only funny when the surroundings are not so perfect that we feel we see the actual thing. Then it is not poking fun at good old memories, it violates these memories. Here, the technical perfection actually hinders the cause (to make fun and entertain) To be fair, there are redeeming moments and ideas: Stewie as DV was awesome, as was the whole discussion about fixing the DeathStar's weakness ("Okay, we get contractors' offers."). Also the cantina dialog "Isn't a parsec a measure of distance?" - really funny.However, if one screws up the final fight between OW and DV that badly (Obi gets an erection and is killed a second later?! What the ...), the overall verdict must be: Almost the worst SW parody ever! (Worst: the Simpsons' Duel of the Fates)

This is one of the Single Best (TM) Star Wars parodies I have ever seen. Not only did they make extensive use of the John Williams soundtrack, they also gave credit to him, and even included him and the London Symphony Orchestra as characters (not to mention the multi-talented Danny Elfman), but they actually reproduced in exquisite detail many of the critical special effects (from the original, not the special edition)! Also, the references to Robot Chicken's parody (not even nearly as good) and Cartoon Network (carefully, and as such, even more skillfully avoiding references to Fox) were particularly priceless! If these folks were given carte Blanche and an unlimited budget for the entire saga . . . Oh - My - G-O-D! I can only hope . . . !

I have never seen anything like the two-part STAR WARS spoof that FAMILY GUY trotted out for its latest season premier. If this show wasn't light-years ahead of THE SIMPSONS already, it surely was with this incredible saga. I cannot imagine how many weeks or months went into piecing this mini-epic together. The plot has FAMILY GUY patriarch Peter Griffin (voiced by show creator Seth McFarlane) telling his family a variation on the original Star Wars story with himself as Han Solo and everyone he knows standing in for the other characters. His wife, for instance, is Princess Leia, and their dog is Chewbaca. Baby Stewie is Darth Vader, of all people. Keep in mind FAMILY GUY is a Fox show, and 20th Century Fox owns the STAR WARS movies, so McFarlane was able to avail himself of music, sound effects and images from the original STAR WARS movie. The seamless integration of these authentic STAR WARS bits in this cartoon turns this two-parter from an ordinary TV cartoon into something else entirely. If you haven't seen this, make sure you watch for it. It marks a turning point in the history of TV cartooning. Obviously, subsequent episodes will never be able to live up to it, but they need not. I think McFarlane wanted to kick THE SIMPSONS' ass for the season starter. If you saw the season starter for THE SIMPSONS, I am sure you will agree. A sidenote: When Peter has finished spinning his STAR WARS yarn, he and son Chris, voiced by the highly versatile Seth Green, argue briefly but sharply about a Cartoon Network show called ROBOT CHICKEN. Chris, who loves the show, points out ROBOT CHICKEN did a spoof of STAR WARS long before FAMILY GUY's version, while Peter disdains and dismisses and insults ROBOT CHICKEN. Green is the creator of ROBOT CHICKEN. Talk about an inside joke. Maybe the greatest inside joke ever perpetuated. What a perfect ending to a perfect yarn.
