The attention to detail seemed to be the main focus - not the actual material. The shot-per shot scenes were good. Too good - almost as if the simply 'traced' them from the actual movie shots. Which was neat - the first few times - but I was also drifting off.
I was all psyched for some good laughs, but like I'd said - it fell flat for me. I WANTED to like it. Oh well, a nod to Star Wars is still a nod to Star Wars. I guess.

I found it interesting how it mixed both OT, SE and DVD elements for it's stuff- it's mostly OT (Obi-wan's hut, Greedo shooting first, english tractor beam, S-foils, shockwaveless explosions, etc), with only about three SE shots (Sandcrawler, Falcon liftoff & X-Wing liftoff) and 1 DVD element (the electronic siren Obi-wan howl vs the original organic howl).

This crushed robot chicken. RC was decent but hardly in the same category as this episode. The only drop dead funny part of RC was the Vader phone call which is old. The ice capades skit sucked, the construction work on the DS was mediocre at best. Hell I can't even remember half the skits from RC.

I loved it! Rush and Chevy Chase's cameos were great. Nice to see the Griswold family has been going on more crazy vacations. lol And the bit with Han singing along with the music was great.

Family Guy Star Wars was alot funnier than Robot Chicken's Star Wars special.
I loved the Imperial March being played as elevator music on the Death Star

I forgot about the Griswald's. I love the shot for shot recreations on almost everything, especially the TIE fighter scene and the approach of the X-Wing's and Y-wing's on the DS.
Can't wait for the DVD.

I thought that about the shot per shot scenes too, that they were almost too good looking. Good looking animation is not what Family Guy is about or known for.
I thought it was funny. It was a different funny to me than the Robot Chicken Star Wars which was histerical across the board. I could have done with out Obi- Wan being so pedofillic (Yeah i think i just misspelled a made up word). What was annoying for me was that the rest of my family actually watched this too, but don't every really watch Family Guy and didn't get some of the jokes that I thought was funny. Like the whole Robot Chicken converstaion. They saw the Robot Chicken, but just didn't get the whole Seth Green thing. I found myself explaining more than I wanted to. My father actually enjoyed it and said "This is what Spaceballs should have been."

I wasn't impressed. There were some inspired touches, like the multiplicity of 'Reds' assaulting the Death Star, the London Symphony getting torched, and Adam West (one of my favorite actors) as Tarkin.
Overall it was just too self-satisfied. Way too many jokes were stretched to the breaking point, particularly the visual ones like the Jawa Grey Poupon bit. There were plenty of details to satisfy the serious fan, but the innocence of Star Wars that's so endearing was totally undermined by unfortunate sexual 'humor,' particularly the Han Solo "penisy" thing and the springing-to-life Obi-Wan saber. (If Lucas signed off on this, then he's a lot less possessive about his creation than I thought.)
So, yeah, it was a let-down, just like that show has always been for me. Family Guy could be really great if a bunch of anarchists didn't write for it.

If it hadn't been spoiled at C4 back in May, that would have been one of the best lines, IMO.

I'm not a huge fan of Family Guy but this turned out pretty funny. Not to say that it was that hard to make this funny. They pretty much just copied ANH and added some obvious gags but I enjoyed it.

It was awesome! Definitely better than Robot Chicken. Best moment was when peter pulled the Alderaan joke.
