Something, Something, Something, Dark Side/Notes/Trivia.
Something, Something, Something, Dark Side. Also, there was some inspired casting that tapped all corners of the MacFarlane universe: Carter Pewterschmidt killed it as Emperor Palpatine, Klaus of American Dad was brilliant as internet sensation Admiral Ackbar, and Tim from The Cleveland Show was the obvious choice for Wicket the head Ewok. The hour-long episodes of Family Guy that parody the Star Wars movies. Something Something Something Dark Side The Griffins reprise their roles as the saga continues in this hilarious Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back spoof. I love that there’s always a Wilhelm scream. Blue Harvest Family Guy spoofs Star Wars. Family Guy‘s Star Wars episodes work best when they point out the small but oddly memorable moments from the movies that any superfan will remember (the Lambda-Class Imperial Shuttle real does land like a dainty butterfly) and when they ask the burning questions (umm, what happened to Leia while she was chained to Jabba all that time?). The self-referential banter about Family Guy‘s two Seths (MacFarlane and Green) was cutesy and went on far too long (at least EW got a shout-out out of it!), and I would rather have gotten more of Jabba’s freaky entourage than the lengthy passing of knowing glances over the Sarlacc (Meg Griffin), although that sequence produced a great Caddyshack cutaway.
It seems like the camp factor would make Jedi especially ripe for parody, but the episode was a bit too filler-heavy to take advantage of all the opportunities.
