I've never seen an episode of Family Guy but I love a good Star Wars spoof so I have to ask is this worth a blind buy?
Without having watched the show, there are a few character references you may not get, but beyond that i think it's pretty funny. Check out their website Blue Harvest DVD and see what you think

It's great to see this extended version- and the added Rebel trooper dialogue at the start that was shown at C4 (they also had footage of the C4 stage's SW family Guy event).

I think the Emperor should be Peter's Dad (the first one) or it could be Death

It's too bad Mr. Pewtershmidt was cast as Owen. I think he would've made a cool Emperor.

Maybe they'll tap some slight crossover and use Karl Rove from American Dad for the Emperor.
However, I could also see them doubling up character roles- Herbert's pedophile nature would fit the ROTJ Emperor's dialogue perfectly. Maybe for Yoda either reuse Stewie or use Stewie's partial brother (I forget his name).

Well I bought the box set and watched it this afternoon and I thought it was hilarious. I was taken back a bit by some of the off color humor but I assume that's just Family Guy's brand of comedy. Technically the production values were phenomenal and I thought it was great that it looked exactly like Star Wars.

In 1977 George Lucas created the Star Wars Trilogy and changed the way we look at movies.
In 1999 George Lucas created the Prequel Trilogy and changed the way we look at Star Wars.
Frasier, Lost, and Whose Line Is It Anyway? are the best tv shows ever.

I think they did a good job on balancing the "this joke is for anyone who loves star wars" aspects with "this joke is for anyone who loves Family Guy" aspects (especially since the majority of the latter was mainly character role assignments).
The former had stuff like the "listing lazily to the left" manuever, the death star laser tunnel guys & "Don't get penisy" based on stuff SW fans have joked and thought about for years, new stuff like the Watto/saber bit that anyone could enjoy ("it's so tantalizing!") and surprisingly fresh commentary on moments in the film that no one's ever really noticed before (Han pointing out that Luke's criticising him for not believing in something Luke only first heard about 3 hours ago).

My friend TB-1783 (yea, he's a 501st member ) has found some easter eggs that are in the Family Guy DVD. There is a short trailer of the next SW spoof with the Chicken being Boba Fett and There is footage of the FG cast doing a reading for SW-V. One is located in the special features area, look were meg pops up from the water. then the next one is in the sound options where the tractor beam grnerator is at. Check them out and enjoy

I have not seen the Robot Chicken one, but have heard it's great. The Blue Harvest Family Guy episode is one of the best shows they've done. I can't wait until they release shows based on ESB and ROTJ (they confirmed this back in the December timeframe if I remember correctly).

Yeah, the Family Guy was a great episode. If you liked that, you need to watch the Robot Chicken one. I laughed so hard with that. It was so hilarious!

Speaking of which, they're both on TONIGHT...in about a half hour or so starting with the Family Guy Blue Harvest episode. I'll definitely be taping the robot chicken one.

I saw the DVD and I was not impressed. There were only a few funny parts (e.g. Watto / lightsabre), but the rest was uninspired. The couch thing was dumb because it went on for what seemed like 20 minutes. Obi-Wan as an implied pedophile wasn't funny (the joke on that is old). I was basically bored for a lot of it. The Robot Chicken special was actually funny and I laughed all the way through. So Robot Chicken >> Family Guy.

Well, keep in mind that what you described is pretty much Family Guy humor. The couch thing being drawn out is utilized a bit in Family Guy (ie. when Peter falls and injures his leg). While I was upset with the character that was Obi-Wan, that is who that character is in the Family Guy series. Also, Family Guy aims to offend and the aspect of being a pedophile is probably offensive to some people. If you don't like that humor, chances are you aren't going to like Family Guy (which seems apparent you don't [face_tongue). My opinion on it was that it was really funny. I use to be a HUGE fan of FG back a couple of years ago. Now, I don't find it quite as funny (I think the episodes of South Park which made fun of FG have a lot to do with that...I am still a HUGE SP fan ).
But, I do agree, the Robot Chicken episode was funnier. I did like how they tacked that on to the end of the FG episode. The added comedy to that was that Seth Green (the [co?]creator of RC voices Seth).
