An absolute waste of money

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Some fans are really dissing this one, which to me is really distressing. A lot say the comedy is this one is rather unfunny and un-satirical. I'll admit a joke or two fell flat with a small chuckle, basically that bag of ice one I really despised. However, it holds together quite nicely in my opinion. To say "Blue Harvest" was better is saying something about you, because the majority of that one's humor was basically pointing out the plot holes of the original Star Wars. Funny, yes, but a bit insulting somewhat. So in turn here we have a lot less of that and more of the original storyline just interpreted through what the characters of "Family Guy" would normally do in those situations. And, other than that ice joke, the episode is incredibly funny and I don't know what's better, Chris' boss as Yoda or Stewie as Darth Vader. Either way, this one definitely deserves respect, especially as an avid Star Wars fan.

This is a show worthy of a 4 out of 10 for a major reason, the jokes are either unimaginative or blown out of proportion.The animation is extremely well done and the use of music and references is very good. This elevated it above a 1 or 2 star rating. The problem is that whenever a joke is told by the characters they stand around laughing about it or explain it to the audience. For instance, Boba Fett is the chicken man. And Peter laughs and points him out and says "Look, Boba Fett is the Chicken Man." Why? Why would you assume that your audience is too stupid to realize that? Other jokes require specific wording to get off correctly and this requires the characters to wait and say the joke several times in order to make sure the viewer has time to process. The final problem with the spoken jokes is that they completely lack the necessary timing to be funny. They either take far to long or come out of left field. Such as Han shooting the inside of the giant worm some dozen or so times and having the exact same reaction each time. That's funny...if you're high.I don't have a problem with the jokes that come from the series itself because I liked those jokes the first time. The name of the movie, after all, is a reference to the series. Next up is the physical comedy. There are many great options for physical comedy as the majority of the movie uses the broad space battles from the film. How many things can happen in space? Asteroids can be shaped in funny ways, constellations can be in the background, the giant wedges can do something funny for goodness sake! Yet they do nothing with any of the space battles other than add a Wildest Police Chases voice-over for about twenty seconds. Where is the funny stuff from the first Star Wars parody where the Jawas are exchanging Grey Poupon? Even the actual Star Wars movie had the ships make warning sirens when the Falcon flew them too close to each other. Do something with that!Yoda, not funny.Jokes I found funny. The League of Doom. The dog thing if they cut it about half the length. The Wiley E Coyote moment. The Hand down the pants (don't ask me why but I laughed). Joe's Legs. The reference to Seth Green's failed movie. Trying to think of more, got nothing.The movie as a whole is not atrocious, but the lack of timing and the holy-cow-I'm-about-to-tell-a-joke-are-you-ready-here-it-is-and-heres- why-it-was-funny-did-you-laugh? aspect made it insufferable to sit through. The Family Guy team used to be better than that. Feels like they stopped trying.Thanks, Tom

While Blue Harvest was very funny... TFG (Team Family Guy) blew it on this one.It took me a while to figure out how they made this video not so funny. This Empire parody looks great... but thats about it.As already pointed out, Peter/Solo insult and punches Lois Leia are out from no-where and serves no purpose. Compared to TFG episode in which Peter is on a Roadhouse craze and kicks everyone - including Lois, especially her the boob.** Spoiler a bit ** Like Pete Solo cursing Leia, instead of the originals "I know"... saying something like "I love me too" would have been funnier, who knows, I'm not a writer.The recent Robot Chicken 2.5 Special does a much better job with the same scene. You can see that yourself on adultswim's website.Anyways.. back to HOW TFG failed.Many of the lines in something something something (very un-funny stupid title) are right off of Empire. While Blue Harvest has almost no lines from A New Hope.Like in Blue Harvest, when the Death Star Fire control guys are complaining about "not having a rail to lean against". Sorry, some guys pretending to do something didn't cut it.What makes blue harvest and Family guy work is dialogue. Something Something has so little of it and totally ignores openings where they could have done something. Like when Chris Skywalker falls to the M.Falcon - there is NOTHING there. They could have had Chris fall into the arms of the ONLY black man in the movie and have him say "Who the Hell are you?!" - and trying to use his missing hand to hide his wallet. Anything! I bought this DVD sight un-seen. I thought I had missed it somehow on the local FOX channel. I wouldn't have wasted my $16 on this DVD. :(

I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan and a HUGE Family Guy fan. I was so excited when I heard about this DVD and then I got it. I don't think this was their best work. I even looked for hope while listening to the commentary, which rambled on about everything but this show. WHen I checked out the Extras, the TABLE READING had better gags and flow to it than the actual episode. Something got lost in translation, too many things got edited, and there were too many INSIDE JOKES that most people won't get. I think the Original FAMILY GUY: BLUE HARVEST was WAY better by comparison. This felt like they were dialing it in. I'm not a fan of Critics, so for me to give it this kind of review pains me. I can only hope that their JEDI episode is up to par.
