This is How Movies Should Be Made
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Oh the most clever thing yet, they have some very good skill I mean everything in it I don't think I could come up with what they made fun of, like at the start when all the Rebel's go towards the door that the Empire is boarding from one of the Rebel's say, "What if they come in a different door?" And "Luke, Luke, Luke! Don't forget to tell uncle Owen not to tell you your father is Darth Vader!" The epic jokes really do roll on and on, any family guy fan should go out and buy the DVD, I would suggest the same for Star Wars fan because of the intelligent ways the humor scales into the episode, even though I have a strong feeling they will do the other 2 parts. But I doubt the first 3 will made.. Oh wait... now I think about it could be done. But a lot of characters would need to be created, Anakin (Stewie) Anakin older (Stewie from the "Movie") etc etc. Well I'm ranting but still very epic movie.
When i first heard that Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy and American dad was doing a Family Guy Star Wars episode entitled "Blue Harvest" i thought 'oh this is too funny and i have to see this' and after many months, i finally got to see it, but not on TV but brought the DVD just this month and i could not stop laughing! Being a Star Wars fan first before i was a fan of Family Guy, i knew the Star Wars movies well and after seeing Family Guy episodes, i knew it would be full of gags and laughs, "I sited my pants" Stewie as Darth Vader says to Lois as Leia and Adam West as Tarkin and having Herbert as Obi Wan Kenobi was truly well casting as Chris was Luke Skywalker. i thought having Cleveland as R2 was very original and funny, lines like, "Yeah! that's how we do it in my neighborhood, b*****!" or Peter as Han Solo, "Oh you mean that thing you just found out about three hours ago and are now judging me for not believing in it?" The DVD contains scenes that were not on the television broadcast, that i did not know about until the commentary pointed out, which goes through all the details that went into making the story, including guest stars of the episode, not to mention features such as "The making of Blue Harvest" "A conversation with George Lucas" "Family Guy Star Wars clip show", it's amazing to see how many Star Wars gags are in the episodes and an "Introduction to Family Guy".If you love Star Wars and Family Guy, then this is for you, you'll laugh like you've never laughed before
Being a fan of both Star Wars and Family Guy, I was absolutely excited once I heard of "Blue Harvest" being produced. I immediately knew this episode was going to ROCK! Plus, I also thought it was VERY cool of Lucasfilm to gave their blessing to produce this hour-long episode.After watching this episode repeatedly, I can honestly say without a doubt that it was one of the best Family Guy episodes EVER. Filled with tons of Star Wars-related gags and the usual hilarious absurdity, it was definitely the hardest I'd ever laughed watching Family Guy.If you're a fan of Family Guy or Star Wars (or both like me), you definitely need to watch this episode.
IMHO, Family Guy just keeps getting better and better with each episode..Last night, I watched this episode, and it just kept topping itself as it went along.I am glad that Lucas has the good humour to allow this and the Robot Chicken Star Wars episode to be made during this 30th anniversary of his movie. I'll have to go back and watch this again with some friends of mine just to see their reaction.I can't wait to see what the rest of this season is going to bring us.. or will the creators of the show push it too far again and get canceled?
