Movie Reviews of Family Guy - Blue Harvest
Movie Review: The Force Is Strong With This One!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD release is just plain awesome, there's no other way to describe it. For someone like me who doesn't normally the full season sets, this is perfect. I missed this when it was originally broadcast on FOX, which is to me better being able to watch it unedited, & commercial free. The jokes are spot on all the way through, if you're a Star Wars fan, you'll love this DVD!!
Aside from the actual show, you also get a DVD packed with extra features. First off you get a a telling interview with George Lucas conducted by Seth Macfarlane himself. This isn't your average interview, it really makes George seem a little more human rather than the evil emporor of Lucasfilm LTD. Next you get a behind the scenes look at the creators working on the show. The next feature is one of my favorites & a true showing that these guys went above & beyond producing this DVD, you get every "Family Guy" scene that's ever refferenced "Star Wars"; a true bonus feature. You also get a the added audio commentary track option featuring Seth Macfarlane, + other various directors, producers, writers & editors that worked on "Blue Harvest". And finally on top of all that, you get a bonus disc with a "portable digital copy of Blue Harvest" that's compatible with iTunes & Windows media. Meaning you can put this on your iPod/computer for free. Very nice package all together making this an absolutely must have item for any Star Wars/Family Guy fan. Race out & pick this up 1/15/08, you won't be dissapointed!!!
Movie Review: Like Family Guy? Like Star Wars parodies? Then you can't go wrong with Blue Harvest!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this on Fox in Fall 2007, and instantly loved it! It's got all the classic witty humor of Family Guy with a Star Wars twist.
One of the best things about Seth Macfarlane's parodies is that they're always accurate. Macfarlane does his home work before he makes a parody, so they're always accurate, always funny, and always hit their mark!
The story pretty much starts off with Peter telling everyone his take on Star Wars after a power outage to entertain his family. From there it's all a hilarious parody of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
The DVD itself is great too, has plenty of special features to watch if you're into that sort of thing, and it even comes with a 2nd disk to download a free digital copy of Blue Harvest to your Computer & ipod!
In short, this DVD is pure comic gold. If you like Family Guy and Star Wars Parodies like "Space Balls" then you won't be disappointed by Blue Harvest.
Don't be fooled by other reviews that give this DVD 1 star, they're mostly Star Wars nerds who don't like anything that parodies their perfect movie. Well, shame on them... I myself am a fan of Star Wars, and I find Blue Harvest to be hilarious and the jokes very accurate to Star Wars. I even hope that Seth will make parodies of Star Wars Episodes V & VI (The Empires Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi) as well. In the end, it all depends on if you like Family Guy or not.
Movie Review: Awesome 5 Stars
What can I say? This is without a doubt one of the best parodies ever made. As a fan of both Family guy and Star wars, I thoughouly enjoyed it. As others have stated, it is a near scene by scene parody of episode 4. The humor is top notch, but what really threw me was the original soundtrack (perfectly sync'd) and the attention to detail. For example, the opening scene was animated EXACTLY as it played out in the film. Also, little things such as when the Millenium Falcon jumps into hyperspace and all the stars rotate clockwise around the ship. They even included one of the things that always bothered me about the original movie... when the X-wing fighters start the first attack run on the Deathstar and the three ships flip over. The last ship was flying slightly askew and the animators picked right up on it. They didn't seem to miss a thing as far as recreating each scene flawlessly.And when it came to calling George Lucas on some of the things that did not make sense in the movie, they had me in stitches. Such as Chris (Luke) pointing out to Han that a Parsec is a unit of distance and not time. And I almost fell off the couch when they all boarded the Deathstar elevator and a Muzak version of the music for the particular scene was playing on the intercom.
Anyway, I could go on and on. Suffice it to say, this episode is a MUST SEE. There are also two scenes incuded that were not in the Television release.
Movie Review: A Long Time Ago, But Somehow In The Future....
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, all right, so I can't remember the exact line. But what I can remember is that this was hilarious.
Yes, $[...] is a lot for one episode, but there are some nifty bonuses on the disc. There is a behind-the-scenes, a commentary, an interview between Seth McFarlene and George Lucas, and a special extra: you can watch the cast read-through of Family Guy's next Star Wars spoof (the slated title is "Something Something Something Dark Side").
Also, it comes with an extra disc for your computer so that you may download it for free and put it on your iPod/PSP.
I have seen it said here that it makes no sense to sell this separately. It does, however, if you want a fun gift for a Star Wars fan, or a little gift for a Family Guy fan. Or, if you're like me, if you missed it when it aired and don't want to wait for the next season to come out on DVD.
As far as the quality of the episode is concerned, I thought this was hilarious. John Bender (Breakfast Club) makes an appearance, for example. Basically, this won't be funny if you don't go in with some knowledge of basic Pop Culture. If you only know things about Star Wars and Sci-Fi, it won't be AS funny (but it will still be hilarious).

There will be Spoilers, though, so beware.
Movie Review: May the FARCE be With You
Summary: 5 Stars
This parody is perfect. Everything fans of Family Guy & Star Wars could want is here. I won't take up time with a synopsis, and if you don't like the price then shut up and don't buy it. It's hilarious, and the special features are great. I am talking about the $12.99 version. You still get all the comentaries, featurettes, and Seth MacFarlane's interview with George Lucas. If your like me and you enjoy good special features almost as much as the main content, you will not be disappointed. The episode runs 48 min. and there are about 45 min. of special features. NEWS FLASH FOLKS, that's just as much runtime as many feature films that don't even include a theatrical preview on the DVD, and they still retail for $12 to $15. Anyway, if your reading these reviews this DVD may not really be for you, because anyone who is a Family Guy & a Star Wars fan would certainly buy this without thinking about it, and they would inevitably be very pleased.
P.S. Don't miss the hidden Easter Egg! If you go to the "chapter select" menu there is a picture of Herbert/Obi Wan powering down the tractor beam. When you select it you get to see a little bit of the cast doing the table read for the "Empire Strikes Back" episode which is now in production. That's right, they're going to do "Empire" and "Jedi" as well.
