I noticed that too, come to think about it. Even as parody that scene is still painful to watch. Yoda - the flying squirrel. God help us... What was Lucas thinking?

I like all six Star Wars Episodes equally.

Did you guys see that one Billy & Mandy episode on Cartoon Network, the Christmas episode?
Just as Billy, Mandy, and Grim reach the North Pole, Billy finds this cave and runs into it screaming "Santa? Santa?!" When he gets inside there is Luke, upside down, and a frozen to the ceiling screaming with the Wampa closing in on him. Billy looks around, screams and runs out of the cave.
I just about burst a lung.
"Well?"
"Nope. Santa wasn't in there."

Did anybody see tonight's Family Guy? Meg walks in on Chris in the bathroom,where we see his hair and hat are being lowered down onto his head just like the scene in Darth Vader's meditation chamber in ESB. Same music,even.

Yep. I love how Chris then turns around slowly while sitting on the toilet which also imitates how Vader turns around in his chair to face Admiral Piett. 
I wonder if Seth MacFarlane is trying to get GL's attention to work on the SW animated show?

The references to Star Wars started out a little on the sudtle side but now they are being right up front with them. This one is right up there with the medal ceremony and Lios pushing the emperor.

That was great. Chirs turns around to meet Meg just like Vader did to Piett. Having the same music also made it great.

One thing i noticed about MacFarlene is that althogh he is an avid Star Wars fan (referenced by family guy), he's also an avid star trek fan and has appeared as a guest. I found this out on a fan site.
That's interesting. Can you give us any more info such as the character or episode he appeared in? I'm geussing it would've been Enterprise.
Any Trekkies out there with more details?
im sure this is about 8 months late, but yes, it was Enterprise, he played one of the alien soldiers, a Xindi, i think

Yep, there's some references for the Trekkies to enjoy from both the classic series and Next Generation and Patrick Stewart is a regular character (Stan Smith's boss at the CIA) on American Dad and his animated character looks just like Stewart.
Seth MacFarlane and his writers are obviously total pop culture, and especially TV geeks with the sheer number of references that they put in, both mainstream and totally obscure.

Actucally,I believe Seth McFarlane's appearances on Enterprise were as a background crewmember on the Enterprise. He appeared in one episode of the Xindi arc,and then again in the Klingon two-parter the next season when his character was transferred to the Columbia.

In one episode of Kids Next Door on Cartoon Network was based on ESB. They were fighting in a Hoth-like place with the walkers and everything.

Anybody see last night's Drawn Together,with Boba Fett? I thought it was funny he had the same old-style phone the old man had as a communicator.
When the old guy called him to take out one of the main characters,I had visions of him looking like he did in the animated segment of the Star Wars Holiday Special,but he looked good.
