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? --Donald Liebenson

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Family Guy: Harvest Moon
Although I wished it to be a little longer,This Family Guy Special was indeed pretty good.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Family Guy + Star Wars = A Classic
I can't give 5 stars to a single episode that you have to buy on it's own. This was, however, amazing. I watched it a million times. I watched all of the extras. I absolutely LOVED this DVD.

If you are a Star Wars fan, and you're a Family Guy fan, this is worth owning.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Family Guy
I recently got into watching Family Guy, and this was right up my alley, I am a big Star Wars fan, this couldnt have been funnier. It hit the spot!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - FUNNY FOR FAMILY GUY AND STAR WARS FANS!!!
A VERY FUNNY DVD!!! I know this is only a little longer than a full episode, but it makes you laugh a lot as you've never laughed before. The best part is when Peter (Han Solo) introduces Brian (Chewbacca) and he makes noises as the ones made by Chewbacca in the real movie, but then he spits water that was on his mouth. LOL!!!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Adorable, Hilarious and a Little Twisted
Family Guy is one of the most adorable and most intellectualy funny shows I have seen in a long time.I have never laughed out loud so many times than watching this show except seeing the "Star Wars" edition.Being a Gen-X-er and having watched the early Star Wars movies with my younger brother over a dozen times while growing up (like most my age) I found myself anticipating and quoting the original Star Wars dialogue along with the Family Guy characters then rolling into laughable hysterics when ...
