Review of Family Guy parody of Star Wars

STAR WARS Family guy parody.  

People who enjoy both Star Wars and Family Guy will without question enjoy the Star Wars parodies: 'Laugh it Up, Fuzzball', 'Something Something Something Dark, and 'It's A Trap." The plot is the same, but the characters and dialogue--well, best you see it yourself.  Peter is Han, Chris is Luke, Lois is princess Leia, and Brian (of course) is Chewbaca. Stewie is Darth Vader, and some of his lines are absolutely hilarious. The pedophile, Herbert, is Obi Wan, which is sort of a shame--the Jedi lusting after young Skywalker--but he carries it off well.  Poor Meg with her baseball cap is the snake in the trash compactor, the giant worm in the asteroid, and the carnivorous plant in the desert.  I'm not sure why I should feel sorry for a cartoon character, but I do.

The jokes are what you'd expect from Family Guy. Storm troopers sing, dance and get married.  Out in the desert, while hearing the Star War's theme, Chris announces John Williams and the orchestra, and the camera pans to show them. Peter, as Han, moons everyone when he's frozen in carbonite.  The best was when Peter sees a sofa in the trash compactor, and insists on taking it into the Millennium Falcon even though it doesn't fit. The website gives more examples.


The music is the same Star Wars music, and is as thrilling as always. The graphics show a surprising similarity to the actual scenes in the movie, and it's no surprise that the producers created this parody with George Lucas' blessing.

If you want to laugh with your workup, this is a good one to watch.  I give it ++++ - it will get your pulse up to a run. If you see it, let me know what you think.
