I'm not sure if this has been posted BUT Family guy is airing a 1 hour star wars tribute right now if you have fox or global. Anyone else catching this? It's hilarious.

Right up there with the Robot Chicken special. And the Robot Chicken discussion at the end was the greatest thing ever, no doubt.

That was amazing fun. Well done. 
It would be great to see this in a theater with other STAR WARS fans and other FAMILY GUY fans. The STAR WARS/FAMILY GUY panel at STAR WARS CELEBRATION IV me and my wife attended was a lot of fun and the clips from this show that was presented during the panel got a lot of great reactions, a lot of laughs.

My wife and I caught that. It would also be great to see that in a theater with other STAR WARS fans and other ROBOT CHICKEN fans. We attended a STAR WARS/ROBOT CHICKEN panel at STAR WARS CELEBRATION IV, too. The clips of the show ROBOT CHICKEN did of STAR WARS that were presented during the panel also got a lot of great reactions, a lot of laughs.

It's partway through where I am. I think it's hillarious! I was worried about the creepy guy being Obi-Wan, but everything is really funny!

Some of the insights in the show were amazing simply because they were obvious yet something I never even considered after all these yars- the most brilliant one was "Han"'s retort to Luke's "You don't believe in the Force, do you?" about how Luke's giving him attitude for not believing in something Luke hadn't even heard of a couple days beforehand.
"Red October, shtanding by."
"What The Phantom Menace are you doing?" <--sooo gonna start using that alongside Frell and Frack...
And a Doctor Who reference too, ha.
And not only was Roger in the cantina, but so was Bender and (super-randomly of all) Coach Mcgirk from Home Movies!

Fantastic stuff. I loved the John Williams stuff
But my favourite "nod" was the shot of DV in the distance after he kills Obi-Wan. His saber is the wrong colour

I didn't care for Obi-Wan being a supposed pedophile. Outside of that, I thought the episode was absolutely super!! You could tell the creators put a lot of heart and soul into making it. And unless I'm mistaken, it looked like actual shots were taken from ANH for any scene in which something blew up. That was cool.

I love the Family Guy. I (obviously) love Star Wars. I love when two parts of pop culture collide (parodies, etc).
I wasn't that impressed by this at all. It was too long, and many of the jokes just ewren't funny or felt like an afterthought (let's re-create scenes shot-per shot! Awesome! Wait... we need to add jokes!)
There wre 4-5 things which were funny, but a lot of it felt really forced (pun not intended).
I dunno. I thought the Robot Chicken Star Wars special was FRELLING BRILLIANT. This Family Guy veriosn left me cold.
... the last scene where they were actually talking about Robot Chicken - that was very funny. And yes, I 'get' the Seth Green irony of it. Since the Robot Chicken episode WAS earlier and WAY funnier - it made the dialogue all the more ironic.
I wanted to love this episode of the Family Guy - but in my (apparently sole) opinion it kind of tripped and fell flat on itself.

I agree. It was funny here and there. But it wasn't as funny as the Robot Chicken episode. The one good thing about the Family Guy episode was the attention to the visual detail. The visuals were quite nice, but the script just wasn't quite funny enough. I fell asleep half way through in fact. And woke up after about 10 minutes.
