What better way to launch Family Guy's sixth season and commemorate Star Wars' 30th anniversary than with this double-length Very Special Episode, a full-scale, awesomely animated spoof that recasts George Lucas' saga with Family Guy's galaxy of characters: Chris (Seth Green) is Luke; Lois (Alex Borstein) is Princess Leia; Peter (Seth McFarlane) is Han Solo, but not, as expected, Jabba the Hut; Brian (Seth, again) is Chewbacca; Quagmire (and again, Seth) is C3PO; Cleveland is R2D2; Herbert, the creepy senior pedophile, is Obi-Wan (both voiced by Mike Henry); and, of course, Stewie (Seth, already) is Darth Vader ("My diapers have gone over to the dark side"). Poor Meg is reduced to a cameo as the hideous reptilian creature that haunts the garbage compactor. Blue Harvest is reverently faithful to A New Hope, while engaging in typical Family Guy pop-culture references (everything from those old Grey Poupon commercials to Doctor Who, Airplane, Dirty Dancing, and Deal or No Deal) and bizarre digressions (the iconic opening crawl detours into an appreciation of a "way naked" Angelina Jolie in Gia). Along for the wild ride are Judd Nelson, who contributes a voice cameo as John Bender for a Breakfast Club gag, Rush Limbaugh railing against futuristic affirmative action on Tatooine talk radio, and Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase as the vacationing Griswolds observing the rebellion from their orbiting station wagon. A Star Wars spoof in 2007 isn't exactly uncharted territory. As Chris Griffin notes in this episode's final moments, Robot Chicken brilliantly did it months earlier (and let us not forget Mel Brooks' Spaceballs from 1987; or, on second thought...). But the Force is strong with Family Guy, and who could resist the opportunity to hear the Muzak playing in a Death Star elevator? --Donald Liebenson

Product Description
The Force is strong with this episode of FAMILY GUY that devotes an entire hour to STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE. Seth McFarlane s spoof-happy animated sitcom casts the Griffin family and other Quahog residents as characters from George Lucas s sci-fi classic: patriarch Peter is Han Solo wife Lois is Princess Leia son Chris is Luke Skywalker family dog Brian is Chewbacca and baby Stewie continues his quest to kill Lois as the evil Darth Vader. From Mos Eisley to the Millennium Falcon no element of Lucas s beloved universe is safe from McFarlane s hilarious satire. FAMILY GUY PRESENTS BLUE HARVEST includes four minutes of new material and interviews with MacFarlane and the Jedi Master himself Lucas.System Requirements:Running Time: 48 mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 024543496861 Manufacturer No: 2249686

 Family Guy October 3, 2008
I recently got into watching Family Guy, and this was right up my alley, I am a big Star Wars fan, this couldnt have been funnier. It hit the spot!
FUNNY FOR FAMILY GUY AND STAR WARS FANS!!! September 24, 2008
A VERY FUNNY DVD!!! I know this is only a little longer than a full episode, but it makes you laugh a lot as you've never laughed before. The best part is when Peter (Han Solo) introduces Brian (Chewbacca) and he makes noises as the ones made by Chewbacca in the real movie, but then he spits water that was on his mouth. LOL!!!
Adorable, Hilarious and a Little Twisted September 22, 2008
Family Guy is one of the most adorable and most intellectualy funny shows I have seen in a long time. I have never laughed out loud so many times than watching this show except seeing the "Star Wars" edition. Being a Gen-X-er and having watched the early Star Wars movies with my younger brother over a dozen times while growing up (like most my age) I found myself anticipating and quoting the original Star Wars dialogue along with the Family Guy characters then rolling into laughable hysterics when they changed something from the original script (like when Stewie waves his hand to suffocate the naysayer underling who scoffs at his lack of real estate knowledge as it pertains to the DeathStar - TOO CUTE)!
Of course, there are some really twisted moments that younger viewers shouldn't be allowed to watch (i.e. the old man who plays Ben Kenobi - while super funny, his character is distasteful - lol. C3PO/Quagmire's character is a bit rough too). Overall, though, this episode is fantastic and will keep you in stitches from beginning to end. My husband and I still laugh and make reference to it if we're ever reminded of something that happened in the show. Buy this. Watch it when you're having a bad day or when you need a little emotional lift. You won't regret it.
The Friggin' Sweet Wars August 12, 2008
The Good Things
*Very hilarious parodies of "Star Wars" and other stuff (also expect parodies of "Vacation," "Airplane," "Breakfast Club," and others). For "Star Wars" in particular, the show emulates most of the movie almost exactly, before breaking into the humor.
*Some very good original jokes too.
*Some funny inside jokes.
*Very good animation quality.
The Bad Things
*Ummmmm....
The Questionable Things
*Some bad language and crude humor. Not reccomended for most kids or families.
*Not sure why this is called "Blue Harvest." Is it because Luke likes blue milk, or what?
I'm not really a "Family Guy" fan, but I still enjoyed this. It's a good, funny, short feature that made me laugh pretty good. Highly reccomended for anybody who enjoys trashing "Star Wars."
DVD has good video and sound quality. It is in a fullscreen format. It includes a great number of special features, including an animatic version of the show, some interviews and featurettes, and commentaries.
If this review has not been helpful, feel free to leave a comment, so I can improve.
Great parody, great show! August 5, 2008
This show is one of the best parodies of the Star Wars universe I have seen so far. The animation is great...like back in the mid-80's with GI JOE and TRANSFORMERS. I even like it better than the new Clone Wars clips available so far. The characters are funny and seem to be well suited for these roles in particular Stewie(playing Darth Vader). This parody puts a fresh spin on this science fiction legend. Though not the idealistic cast for such roles, the faults and limitations of this cartoon family is what we like the most about them.
