Amazon.co.uk Review

What better way to commemorate Star Wars' 30th anniversary than with this double-length Very Special Episode, a full-scale, awesomely animated spoof that recasts George Lucas's saga with Family Guy's galaxy of characters: Chris (Seth Green) is Luke; Lois (Alex Borstein) is Princess Leia; Peter (Seth McFarlane) is Han Solo, but not, as expected, Jabba the Hut; Brian (Seth, again) is Chewbacca; Quagmire (and again, Seth) is C3PO; Cleveland is R2D2; Herbert, the creepy senior paedophile, is Obi-Wan (both voiced by Mike Henry); and, of course, Stewie (Seth, one more time) is Darth Vader ("My diapers have gone over to the dark side"). Poor Meg is reduced to a cameo as the hideous reptilian creature that haunts the garbage compactor.

Blue Harvest is reverently faithful to A New Hope, while engaging in typical Family Guy pop-culture references (everything from old commercials to Doctor Who, Airplane, Dirty Dancing, and Deal or No Deal) and bizarre digressions (the iconic opening crawl detours into an appreciation of a "way naked" Angelina Jolie in Gia). Along for the wild ride are Judd Nelson, who contributes a voice cameo as John Bender for a Breakfast Club gag, Rush Limbaugh railing against futuristic affirmative action on Tatooine talk radio, and Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase as the vacationing Griswolds observing the rebellion from their orbiting station wagon. A Star Wars spoof in 2007 isn't exactly uncharted territory. As Chris Griffin notes in this episode's final moments, Robot Chicken brilliantly did it months earlier (and let us not forget Mel Brooks's Spaceballs from 1987; or, on second thought...). But the Force is strong with Family Guy, and who could resist the opportunity to hear the Muzak playing in a Death Star elevator? --Donald Liebenson, Amazon.com


DVD Description

The laughs come full "Force" when the Griffin clan puts a freakin’ sweet spin on the greatest sci-fi saga ever told. With Peter playing the swashbuckling Han Solo, Lois as the sexy Princess Leia, Chris as an adolescent Luke Skywalker, Brian as a well-spoken Chewbacca and Stewie finally embracing his dark side as Darth Vader, who knows what will happen? Filled with outrageous gags, spaced-out droids and more intergalactic satire than you can shake a lightsabre at, this epic spoof of Star Wars: A New Hope is a must-own for every fan of Family Guy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely hilarious , 3 Dec 2007
By KM (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
'The Blue Harvest' is the season 6 premiere of Family Guy and is a spoof of Star Wars Episode IV: The New Hope. With each of the main characters taking the roles as the Star Wars characters, such as Chris as Luke Skywalker, Peter as Han Solo, Lois as Princess Leia, Stewie as Darth Vader, Brian as Chewbacca, Quagmire as C-3PO, Cleveland as R2-D2 and Herbert as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Creator Seth McFarlane is on top form with this one as it is easily the funniest episode of Family Guy ever. Obviously if you're a regular veiwer of Family Guy and a fan of Star Wars you'll appreciate this a lot more than if this is your first time watching Family Guy or never seen The New Hope. I think that he must have been planning this episode for a long long time as the quality and humour is some of the funniest I've seen out of all of the many episodes of Family Guy. From when the opening text comes up on the screen ("A long time ago, but strangely in the future...") you just know that this episode is going to be amazing. It's as if he's kept all of his best gags for this episode - it is that good! Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short and sweet, 18 Jan 2008
By D. Stoker "crazydave" (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Blue Harvest has got everything you ever loved about the movie Spaceballs and more. Stewie makes a hilarious Darth Vader, and all the trademark Family Guy humour is there from the outset.

But as a word of warning, have no confusion about what you're getting here: it's a double episode, not a full feature. Many of you will be left wanting more for your ten pounds, especially when this is bound to be included in the season 6 boxset next Christmas. But if you simply can't wait that long, you'll enjoy every minute.

5.0 out of 5 stars Careful: May induce cramps, 20 Mar 2008
By Christian De Coninck Lucas "pleidian" (Copenhagen) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Okay, so I admit I am a film school graduate and having been born in the mid seventies, Star Wars is a film that I have watched countless times. How wonderful it is to a have an all-time fave spoofed so well that it merits a re.watch just to make sure you caught all the gags and inside jokes. It's just SO funny!

Pure gold, rivalled only by American Dad's 'Tearjerker'.
