Family Guy's take on Star Wars.

Bounty · Post by **Bounty** » 2007-09-24 08:38am

That was... excessively mediocre. I chuckled at the pimped-out TIE, but the rest was somewhere between "really unfunny" and "somewhat amusing".

Wasn't Family Guy watchable at some point?

I believe his line was "Man, Hyperspace is so WIERD", but yeah, I was waiting for the TARDIS to streak by. The shot of the Doctor's face was just as good, though.

I also liked the "holy crap, he can make a slow turn to the left! He sure can maneuver!" and the Robot Chicken v Family guy banter at the end, since so many people actually work on both shows.

If the "Red October standing by" bit killed me, the couch theft killed my rommie and his girlfriend.

Luke: You don't believe in the force do you?
Han: You mean that thing you just found out about 3 hours ago and are judging me for not believing in it? Yeah.

That was pretty funny...

This was hillarious.

- The opening crawl parody.

- The Jawa sandcrawlers pulling up and doing the Grey Poupon commercial joke.

- Mort Goldman as the head Jawa, and Carter and Babs as Owen and Beru.

- The twin sunsets scene, when Chris-as-Luke introduced John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra, then had them play the People's Court theme.

- Chris-as-Luke murdering Danny Elfman.

- Stewie-as-Vader strangling that one Imperial officer for questioning his ability to sell his condo in Southern California.

- Lois-as-Leia trying to e-mail Obi-Wan before telling Cleveland-as-R2 to deliver it.

-The History of the World Part I reference when the droids get high.

- Herbert as Obi-Wan. "Use the Force, like I showed you with the puppets, but don't tell anyone."

- Cleveland-as-R2-D2 busting a cap in a TIE fighter. Also, when he gets shot during the Death Star assault. "What am I, R2-pac?"

- Meg suggesting they effectively rip off The Simpsons, and Peter telling the story of her birth in 5 seconds.

- "A long time ago, but somehow in the future."

- Peter-as-Solo acting like a late-night DJ over the communication system.

When the Devastator flew above the camera and had a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker, I rolled my eyes and walked out of the room.
Why?

Well, one, I had to go anyways

And two, I don't consider cheap shots at Bush funny anymore. They stopped being funny a long time ago. I'm tired of being able to guess every punchline to every joke because it is inevitably some 'inventive new twist' on "LOL, BU$H!".

At least South Park is willing to make jokes about everything.

I saw the last ~15-30 mins.

I will watch it on youtube again; host ot my HDTV. But yeah r2 poppin' a cap in the TIEs' ass is nice; and the "Don't get penisey" by Han. Thebattle of yavin whould've been longer. Damn they stole it good

Thanks for the sex, early 90's printer!

I'm sorry, but something about that made me laugh so hard it hurt. That and Rush Limbaugh actually lending his voice to the show and poking fun at himself.

Biggest cricitism would have to be that it was too short, that they could've fit in scenes with more humor potential and left out stupid stuff like Kenobi's song-and-dance.
Agreed. I was expecting a joke about Greedo shooting first, and the scene between Han and Jabba, with Meg in the roll of Jabba.

Did Peter/Han shoot first? It was over pretty quick.

The Rush Limbaugh bit was pretty funny, too.

Yep.

I liked the banter about the exhaust port that ended with Stewie sighing and saying they better get the quotes to plug it up. Sure, everybody makes these kind of jokes about Star Wars but I still found it funny.

Also, "So you've got your reward and now you're just going to leave." "Well, when you say it like that I sound like a douche, but yeah, that was pretty much it." was pretty funny.

who was that guy who told Han that they're all counting on him during the falcon vs tie fighters scene?

It's from Airplane! There was a running gag where Leslie Nelson (from The Naked Gun) would come into the cockpit and say that again and again.

I don't know why but I kept switching back and forth between Family Guy and What Women Want. What the hell is wrong with me?

They also referenced Airplane! when what's-his-name came in with "and Leia's getting larger!"

Jack Bauer · Post by **Jack Bauer** » 2007-09-24 11:17pm

I'm disappointed they didn't do any gag with the Throne Room. They should have made fun of the fact that Chewie / Brian doesn't get a medal.

(And yes, I know, they've done a gag before where they've recreated that exact scene)

That bit had me rolling on the floor. Something about that character just cracks me the hell up.

Did he got fired or did he return in the second movie?

Which one Quagmire or Johnny from Airplane!

Also another part that made me bust out was the guy in the tower when the Falcon was landing on Yavin.

"Pew pew...I gotcha."

tim31 · Post by **tim31** » 2007-09-25 09:47am

Yeah, I had a good laugh at that.

But the "Hyperspace is so WEIRD" gag still has me laughing out loud more than a day later. I just keep seeing Baker's face.

Favorite though: Minnie the Mooch.

Yuri2356 · Post by **Yuri2356** » 2007-09-25 11:38am

Maybe it's just me, but if you listen very closely after that gag, I think you can hear the TARDIS revving up.

Maybe if there was more time, but they had 40-45 minutes to fit it in. IT would be nice to see an extended version, and much nicer to see this parody done for ESB and RoTJ.

Deathstalker · Post by **Deathstalker** » 2007-09-25 10:06pm

I was impressed by the animation myself. Only the characters themselves were the normal Family Guy animation. The same animation with sharper characters and serious storylines would make for an awesome SW series.

They were doing A New Hope, not Return of the Jedi.

He's referring to the scene that the4 SE added

The one where Han steps on CGI Jabba's tail

Drooling Iguana · Post by **Drooling Iguana** » 2007-09-26 01:10am

Han stepping on Jabba's tail? Preposterous. Next you'll be saying that Boba Fett kept his New Zeland accent to adulthood and that Vader had a pink lightsabre.
