Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Spoof-tributes have never been so funny

Forget Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest - this is the ultimate spoof of any Sci-Fi film. Ever! Okay that may be going a bit far but this is by far the funniest Star Wars tribute you will see for a long time.

We begin with a power outage in Quahog, knocking out all the lights, refrigirators and worst of all TV. So what's a Griffen family to do in such dire straights? Well, tell a story of course, and Peter is only too glad to tell his tale of a long time ago 'that's somehow in the future'. The whole of A New Hope is covered in the following 50 minutes, with all of your favourite Star Wars characters played by recognisable faces. The whole Star Wars score is also here, always present in the background with Peter humming along at one point.

Anyone who watches Family Guy will no doubt love this (though be warned, this is in fact an extended episode from season six so it may not be worth buying it on it's own - rent it instead!) and even those unfamiliar with the world of Peter Griffen should be amused enough to get them interested to see the rest of the series. What the phantom menace are you waiting for?

Fantastic idea, dissapointing execution

The concept of a Family Guy Star Wars parody with Chris as Luke Skywalker, Stewie as Darth Vader and Peter as Hans Solo was a mouthwatering prospect. Its hard to see how they could have got it wrong but the execution is sadly lacking and the material sub-standard.
