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: - Finally a compilation
Finally got a chance to watch the full DVD version.Enjoyed it.It's better than the untold story release where they slapped together episodes.Looking forward to more releases like this one.

- Classic Family Guy take on Cinematic royalty
If you're a Family Guy fan, there shouldn't be any reason why you wouldn't enjoy this skit. I think it's much better than the Robot Chicken version although that had its moments. This skit takes the Star Wars parody genre to a whole new level. Some very funny bits in here and definitely worth the addition to your FG collection. As usual though, the creepy old pedophile sank my interest a but. His rendition of "I've Dad The Time of My Life" killed my buzz.
Rating: - Fun For the Not-Easily-Offended Crowd
I really enjoyed this episode. The writing is clever and the show appears technically quite expensive for a weekly program. Since it was done with George Lucas' approval any complaints that he would not like it are wrong. The DVD has some material that was left out of the broadcast version and there is a digital copy available now. Sometimes Family Guy can be a bit insensitive but not so here. If you are afraid your child will be corrupted watching this I suggest you don't turn it on. You need to ... Read More
Rating: - Great Episode; Nice Set
The Family Guy: Blue Harvest Special Edition DVD is, simply put, a great set. The episode itself is hilarious, and easily on par with the rest of the series. The features that come with it are awesome too.
In the package, you get (from left to right):
-A pack of Blue Harvest cards, which (when assembled) form a 3-D picture
-A pair of 3-D glasses to view the complete puzzle and a 3-D scene on the DVD
-A 2-disc DVD, which comes with the episode (disc 1) and a digital copy ... Read More
Rating: - Great Deal
I am a huge fan of Family Guy, I have to say I love this movie. I recommend buying this special edition package it comes with an XL Shirt, 3D glasses, trading cards and a nice book. I found this on sale for $10 at a store with the name Sam in it, hint hint.
