5ACX16/5ACX22
With the Griffins stuck at home during a blackout, Peter begins to tell a story, which leads to a Star Wars flashback. Acting out scenes from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Peter plays Han Solo, Lois is Princess Leia, Stewie becomes Darth Vader, Brian plays Chewbacca, and Chris is Luke Skywalker. Cleveland and Quagmire will play the parts of R2-D2 and C-3PO, while Herbert is the wise Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Write a Recap »What I liked: the opening scroll, Peter's bored story of how Meg was born, "I made a Darth dookie", the Cantina scene, Herbert singing "I've had The Time of my Life", Chris and Peter arguing over Robot chicken at the end, amongst other things.
This is one of Family Guy's most popular episodes, and whilst I like it, I don't really see all the hype. It did have some humorous parts and it was entertaining, but I don't think I would call it one of their best episodes, personally. Still, it is pretty good, and it does get a "B" or so as a grade from me.
One of my favorite episodes hide show
When the power goes out, Peter keeps the family entertained by retelling the story of Star Wars, using Family guy characters.
It starts off with C3P0(Quagmire) and R2D2(Cleveland) in an escape pod to deliver Princess Leia's message to Obi Wan Kenobi. They run into Luke(Chris), and they take the message to Obi Wan(Herbert). They go to rescue the princess, along with Han solo(Peter), and Chewbacca(Brain). This was a great parody. Im not a Star Wars fan, but I still loved the episode. It had so many great scenes, such as the coach scene, The time of my life musical number sung by Herbert, and all of the action.
Overall Grade: 95%/A
Best Star Wars Spoof ever! hide show
The Force was definitely with the Makers of Family Guy when they created Blue Harvest! I've seen many Star Wars spoofs and hands down this is the best I've ever seen. Family Guy continues to surprise me ever time. It never doesn't meet my expectations. Combining Star Wars and Family Guy, this is the Holy Grail! I was fasinated by the level of CGI, Animation and Character animation. I was also very happy with the cast that was fitted into the 45 minutes of the episode. Stewie is hilarious and is even funnier when placed in the Darth Vader suite. Brian made a Great Chewbacca, Peter was hilarious when pointing out the mistakes in A New Hope, Lois was so funny and Chris was perfect for the part of Luke Skywalker. This spoof deserved a sequal and thank god it's coming out soon. I can't wait!
Hope that the next one is as or better than Blue Harvest, but I think this One deserves to be one of the best that Family Guy has achieved. Well Done makers of Family Guy!!!
A good Star Wars spoof which could have been better. hide show
I had high expectations from this season opener and since Seth MacFarlane is such a huge Star Wars fan, I expected it to be awesome. But somehow it didn't quite live up to my expectations. Having said that, the episode was pretty decent. My problem with the episode were the characters. Like Chris playing Luke Skywalker. An d Herbert the pervert playing Obi Wan. Somehow Chris is not likeable enough to portray someone like Luke Skywalker. And Herbert is just an annoying minor character from the show. This episode also made me realize that Stewie and Brian are the only characters I care about on the show. All in all, a good Star Wars spoof but Chicken Robot's SW spoof was better.
Peter tells every one a story of Star Wars episode IV a new Hope. Chris is Luke Skywalker,Stewie is Darth Vader, Lois is Princess Leia,Peter is Han Solo,Brain is Chewbacca, and Meg is the worn is the thash, Quagmire is C-3PO, Cleveland is R2-D2. I think this one of the best episode of Family Guy. Everything is almost the same way of Star Wars episode IV a new Hope I wonder How it would be if it had all the parts of Star Wars episode IV a new Hope cause that would take a long time I can wait for the next one what can happen lots of people are waiting man come out faster!!!!!!!!!!!!
