2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
unpaidchef 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.
bob the moo When a power cut hits the Griffin family home the usual focal point of the television is lost and Peter turns to a more traditional source of entertainment – original story telling. To entertain his family Peter tells a story of a young farm boy on a distant planet, drawn into the fight against the strength of the evil Empire.Understandably this episode was heavily pushed on DVD for sale and, thinking it was a full film I did add it to my LoveFilm list. Fortunately before that site could work out to get it to the top of my list I noticed that BBC were showing it as part of the new season of Family Guy. So, pleased that I saved myself a bit of cash, I watched it on BBC3 the other recently. From the very start the novelty value of seeing the familiar Star Wars footage and hearing the music the novelty value had me hooked. For a show built heavily on popular culture reference and p*ss-taking jokes, Family Guy offers lots of potential for affectionately spoofing the show – with its own style leaning away from the easy gags but also able to carry them as well.Mostly the approach is very funny, with plenty of good laughs. There are one or two misfires in there that don't work but for every one of those there are about ten good hits. It is all a bit silly of course and those that do not "get" Family Guy humour will find the same problem here, however for the majority I think it will work as it did for me. The "casting" of the regular characters is well done. Meg is wisely left to a apt and funny brief appearance while Peter and Brian are good as Han and Chewie. Lois as Leah is not overused while Chris is a good Luke. Cleveland and Quagmire are imaginatively cast as the droids. Both Stewie and old perv Herbert are well put in the roles of Vader and Kenobi but the former is not used often enough while the latter is perhaps overused to a certain degree and is responsible for a miss or two.Blue Harvest is not perfect, nor is it worth buying a forty minute special for the price of a full-length DVD but otherwise it is an enjoyable and very funny Star Wars spoof that is not so much mocking as it is affectionately joshing.
73Zero Being a fan of both Star Wars and Family Guy, I was absolutely excited once I heard of "Blue Harvest" being produced. I immediately knew this episode was going to ROCK! Plus, I also thought it was VERY cool of Lucasfilm to gave their blessing to produce this hour-long episode.After watching this episode repeatedly, I can honestly say without a doubt that it was one of the best Family Guy episodes EVER. Filled with tons of Star Wars-related gags and the usual hilarious absurdity, it was definitely the hardest I'd ever laughed watching Family Guy.If you're a fan of Family Guy or Star Wars (or both like me), you definitely need to watch this episode.
samcracc This is episode is Hilarius. There are characters in Star Wars. Peter Griffen as Han Solo, Lois Griffen as Princes Liea, Herbert as Obi One Konobi, Chris Griffen as Luke Skywalker, Quagmire as Cp30, Cleveland as R2D2 and Brian the dog as Chewbacca. Thats Hilarius when Han Solo and Chewbacca get the couch from the garbage thats new. The words where funny on Family Guy on Star Wars. Thats hysterical when a man does a lightsabber on that nosed character from Star Wars 1. This happens that the lights where not on so Peter Griffen tells the story about the Star Wars. This episode is Hilarius you will like this episode and so does the characters look.
