TV Discussion Family Guy: Blue Harvest, Something, Something, Something, Dark Side & It's a Trap!

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.

 

"Hey dad, didn't Robot Chicken do this same this like, three months ago?"

 

That was one of the greatest things I have seen in a long, long time.

 

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!

 

What's everybody's favorite joke?

so far, mine is the "so I'm not so fat, am I?" haha!

 

Hahaha sooo great . Eh yea the pedophile as obi-wan was consistently predictable but other then that the whole thing was awesome. Had some great great lines in it.

 

Edit: My new favorite joke was the Porkins joke!

 

Watched the show... it was a blast!

Here's the sneak peek video from Celeb IV with audience reaction included:

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.

(shrugs)

 

I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

THAI fighters = the best part

 

Oneone no if its on in the UK

 

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.
