Family Guy: Blue Harvest

[ZariusTwo]

The Doctor Who Tom Baker intro was one of the best references FG has done in years. Marvelous stuff.

Good to know the show will continue. I was really beginning to wonder, what with the Freakin' Party Pack including all of the FG DVDs & misc. other FG nicknacks being released next month. So, needless to say, I missed this one. Guess I'm not bummed. Sounds like too much Star Wars parody at a time for me.

[ZariusTwo]

Looks like they'll be doing the entire trilogy, FOX want to do "Empire Strikes Back"

[Drtooth]

Sounds good, but I would rather have them condence the trillogy into one hour. It's been done before.

But here's a small list of other shows that did a Star Wars episode

• Muppet Babies (technically Twice-plus brief references, and they use movie footage in their opening)
• Animaniacs
• Walter Mellon
• That 70's show
• Crayon Shin-chan (I wonder if Funimation's gonna dub this. Then they could make a marathon of the Family Guy spoof, the Robot Chicken episode, and this one)
• Yogi's Treasure Hunt (there's a picture I found years ago with Dick Dastardly and Muttley dressed like C3-po and Darth Vader)

And there are others I can't think of right now.

Still hating on Meg. I love that about FG. She only appeared in the Star Wars story for a short 2 seconds.

Agreed! I love it when they do something semi-obscure. I'm still happy they did that refference to Bunsen and Beaker way back.

Still hating on Meg.

I recall that's because the writers just couldn't write anything substancial to them. Plus it really makes the character that she would be Charlie Brown like.

That Muppet Babies ep was my first encounter with Doctor Who. Altho at the time I didn't get the reference one bit. But still.. Capt. Kirkmet!! FTW!

Thank you again Technodrome. I wouldn't have known that was on if I hadn't seen this thread that night, and missing that would have sucked, because that was some of the best TV I've seen in a while.

I was surprised they used the original score and took so much scene for scene and line for line. George Lucas must have made some money off that, there's no way that's all covered legally as satire if they didn't pay for some rights.

This really did go above and beyond my expectations, I'm crossing my fingers for at least the Original Trilogy, and Yoda willing, the prequels, and of course a big fat DVD collector's edition full of extras. Time will tell if I'm asking too much.

And I had a suspicion Meg was gonna show up as the Trash Compacter Monster when she didn't appear anywhere else. Predictable but I still laughed out loud. Good show!

[DrSpengler]

You know what I just realized?

Joe wasn't in the special at all. I guess they're saving him for a character in their Empire or Jedi adaptations (which they're supposedly doing). Who could they possibly make him, though? Boba Fett?

[Jester]

One wonders if patrick Warburtton is spread a bit thin these days.

[Swany]

I watched it, it wasnt hilarious, but I laughe out loud a few time.

Spoiler:

"A long time ago, but still somehow in the future" an the intro paragraph was funny. And "I digest" had me in stitches.

I guess he would. But then, who's going to play Lando Calrissian? I mean, that person would have to be black, and the only black character they have is Cleveland. And he was R2....

The Weatherman...

Han: What do you think about how well I kept your ship Lando?

Lando: FALCON CREST!

aahahahah Olly Williams!

[BubblyShell22]

Ollie would totally work for that character. He's so awesome.

I loved the opening paragraph montage because it was rambling and funny. I hope they do show the other ones because this ep was awesome.

[Drtooth]

I wonder who they're going to make Jabba, then? I have a sneaky suspicion Meg again, but I don't see that working.

Didn't they allready do that in a clip where Peter was Jabba?

[Drtooth]

Well, if they do it in another episode, I don't think they can have Peter do 2 simultaneous roles.

[DrSpengler]

Actually, that wasn't Peter, but one his of relatives/ancestors: Jabba the Griffen.

So conceivably, Peter can still play Han while Jabba the Griffen plays Jabba the Hutt.

ah ic ok lol well I think it would be funny if all the characters where pretty much played by Peter but that's only because he's my favorite character.
