The Force is strong with this episode of FAMILY GUY that devotes an entire hour to STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE. Seth McFarlane s spoof-happy animated sitcom casts the Griffin family and other Quahog residents as characters from George Lucas s sci-fi classic: patriarch Peter is Han Solo wife Lois is Princess Leia son Chris is Luke Skywalker family dog Brian is Chewbacca and baby Stewie continues his quest to kill Lois as the evil Darth Vader. From Mos Eisley to the Millennium Falcon no element of Lucas s beloved universe is safe from McFarlane s hilarious satire. FAMILY GUY PRESENTS BLUE HARVEST includes four minutes of new material and interviews with MacFarlane and the Jedi Master himself Lucas.System Requirements:Running Time: 48 mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating:Â NR UPC:Â 024543496861 Manufacturer No:Â 2249686

Summary: The Friggin' Sweet Wars
Comment: The Good Things
*Very hilarious parodies of "Star Wars" and other stuff (also expect parodies of "Vacation," "Airplane," "Breakfast Club," and others). For "Star Wars" in particular, the show emulates most of the movie almost exactly, before breaking into the humor.
*Some very good original jokes too.
*Some funny inside jokes.
*Very good animation quality.
The Bad Things
*Ummmmm....
The Questionable Things
*Some bad language and crude humor. Not reccomended for most kids or families.
*Not sure why this is called "Blue Harvest." Is it because Luke likes blue milk, or what?
I'm not really a "Family Guy" fan, but I still enjoyed this. It's a good, funny, short feature that made me laugh pretty good. Highly reccomended for anybody who enjoys trashing "Star Wars."
DVD has good video and sound quality. It is in a fullscreen format. It includes a great number of special features, including an animatic version of the show, some interviews and featurettes, and commentaries.
If this review has not been helpful, feel free to leave a comment, so I can improve.

Summary: Great parody, great show!
Comment: This show is one of the best parodies of the Star Wars universe I have seen so far. The animation is great...like back in the mid-80's with GI JOE and TRANSFORMERS. I even like it better than the new Clone Wars clips available so far. The characters are funny and seem to be well suited for these roles in particular Stewie(playing Darth Vader). This parody puts a fresh spin on this science fiction legend. Though not the idealistic cast for such roles, the faults and limitations of this cartoon family is what we like the most about them.

Summary: Really Good
Comment: Seth McFarlane is a twisted dude...thankfully. This Family Guy movie, although predictable in many ways, remains fresh and really funny, as do the Family Guy TV episodes. Please continue to keep McFarlane away from any medication or lobotomization until the series has been completed.

Summary: A Very Comedic Spoof
Comment: As I stated on an earlier review, I'm was a huge early fan of Family Guy but the latest episodes haven't really kept my attention like the first ones but I'll say that this was the funniest episode of Family Guy in recent months. Now I'm not a Star Wars fan but I've seen the movie & the spoof they did here was right on the money...with a couple of shots done on other movies like Breakfast Club, National Lampoon's Vacation, and Airplane. This was like the Family Guy of old where the jokes were funny a majority of the time without using tons of cutaway jokes & heavy "uncensored" language to make up for the lack of story. This is one Family Guy disc that you can watch over & over again close together & still laugh at the time stuff that doesn't get old. The only thing that I thought sucked was that the only part they had for Meg was a 2 second cameo. The DVD extras weren't much past the alternative commentary & a clip show of all the Star Wars references they've done throughout the run of the series but the other extras were an interview with George Lucas, a "making of" feature, and the animatic version. In the end, the main feature is less than an hour long but it was entertaining enough to get the DVD set itself so I recommend & look forward to them spoofing the other movies in the future if they're going to be as good as this one.

Summary: Not original or interesting
Comment: "Blue Harvest" is Family Guy at its worst. First, it's not as much a parody of Star Wars as it is a parody of other things, like "Airplane", "The Breakfast Club", and "National Lampoon's Vacation" just to name a few. Sure, all the main characters in Star Wars are replaced by the Griffins, but most of the jokes aren't about Star Wars. All of the gags could've been reused in any other Family Guy parody, but, of course, that's how Family Guy always is. Chris was right - the Robot Chicken Star Wars parody is much better than this.
