While the ship is boarded by stormtroopers, Leia tries to send an MPEG to Obi-Wan Kenobi through R2, but encounters so many complications that R2 offers to deliver the message himself. On the ship are the droids C-3PO ( Quagmire), R2-D2 ( Cleveland) and the rebel leader Princess Leia ( Lois). While they wait for the power to return, Peter decides to retell the story of Star Wars beginning with "Part IV".Ī Rebel ship is captured by a Star Destroyer. The power goes out while the Griffins are watching television, and they are left with no other form of entertainment. It was viewed by 10.86 million viewers on its original broadcast and received generally positive reviews from critics. The episode also includes recurring voice actors Lori Alan, Adam West, Ralph Garman, Danny Smith, John Viener, Steve Callaghan, Kirker Butler, Mark Hentemann, Johnny Brennan, Jon Benjamin, Phil LaMarr, and Wally Wingert. The episode was written by Alec Sulkin and directed by Dominic Polcino, and guest-stars Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Mick Hucknall, Rush Limbaugh, and Judd Nelson. The title is a reference to the working title of Return of the Jedi. The plot follows Peter as he retells the story of Star Wars while the electricity is out in their house. The episode is a retelling and parody of the 1977 blockbuster film Star Wars, recasting the show's characters as Star Wars characters, created with permission from Lucasfilm on the condition that the characters had to look exactly like they do in the movies. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on September 23, 2007. " Blue Harvest" is the hour-long premiere of the sixth season of the American animated television series Family Guy and the first part of the series' Laugh It Up, Fuzzball trilogy. Rush Limbaugh as Galactic political commentator.Lets hope that the rest of the series keeps up the high standard set by this one.Episode poster parody of Star Wars "Style C" originally by Tom Chantrell The musican cues are well used, and the scene with the crew sneaking out of the Millenium Falcon to the sounds of Minnie the Moocher was simply inspired, as was the elevator music version of the Empire theme. There are plenty of cameo appearances and digs at other sci-fi series which gives the episode some replay value (especially in the Cantana scene). On the other hand some characters, like Joe Swanson and Meg are under-used (in fact I don't think Joe even appears). The plot follows the original very closely with plenty of shot-for-shot remakes and some excellent casting, such as Adam West as Grand Moff Tarkin, Cleveland and Quagmire as R2D2 and C3PO, Stewie as Darth Vader. That isn't to say that every joke is comedy gold (do we really need another Herbert musical number?) but overall it is certainly well worth watching - if only to see Darth Stewie. Luke: Then stay here and rot, you stuck up bitch! Leia: Aren't you a little fat to be a storm trooper? In fact you can see the amount of effort that has gone into getting this episode to be just right rather simply presenting a selection of Star Wars jokes. The animation is excellent (and that is something that you can't usually say about Family Guy) as were the music and sound effects. I've got to admit that I had some concerns as to how well this would work, but they have managed to tread that fine line between parody and homage without going too far into either.
