DVD Review: Family Guy Presents - Something, Something, Something, Dark Side Empty DVD Review: Family Guy Presents - Something, Something, Something, Dark Side

For the past eightthe simpsons dvd box set seasons various episodes of Family Guy have contained numerous references to the Star Wars saga. In 2008 "Blue Harvest" aired as a Star Wars: A New Hope parody/homage; the show was Family Guy’s highest rated episode disney dvd collectionto date. With full approval from Lucasfilm and the maker himself, George Lucas, Family Guy set out to do an Empire Strikes Back parody entitled "Something, Something,family guy dvd box set Something, Dark Side," which is a reference to a gag the simpsons dvd n another Family Guy episode.
Plans were to have the South park dvd box setepisode be the season finale for season American dad dvdseven, and then there were plans to have it be the season eight premiere, but instead it South park dvd collectionwas released on DVD since the "Blue Harvest" DVD did so well. In addition to having Peter return as Han Solo, Lois as Princess Leia,South park dvd collection Chris as Luke Skywalker, Quagmire and Cleveland as C-3PO and R2-D2, and Stewie as Darth Vader, we get Mort Goldman as Lando, Peter’sdisney dvd box set nemesis the giant chicken as Boba Fett, and Chris’s boss Carl South park dvd collectionas Yoda.
"Dark Side" follows the plot ofdisney movies on dvd Empire in a condensed form with the usual pop references and gags we’ve come to look forward to from the show. Since it’s a direct to DVD release the language the simpsons dvd is raunchier than usual. If you let your kids normally watch Family Guy, youthe simpsons dvd box set might want to think twice about letting them see this release.
Once again the love the family guy dvd box set Family Guy cast and crew has for Star Wars shines; howeverdisney dvd box set it’s not as good as "Blue Harvest" for several reasons. First and foremost, the source material is the darkest of the original trilogy and so there’s not as much disney dvd collectionto parody. While "Blue Harvest"American dad dvd was the first time Family Guy was able to do a full episode devoteSouth park dvd collectiond to Star Wars, the truth is we’ve seen much of this before in the 30+ years since Star Wars came out. In fact several of the jokesdisney movies on dvd used in "Dark South park dvd collectionSide" have been used previously by McFarlane’s co-star Seth Green in his Robot Chicken Star Wars parodies. Then there are the new additions to the character lineup. Mort isn’t really funny as Lando and in the commentary it’the simpsons dvd s mentioned that a character from The Cleveland Show should haveSouth park dvd box set been used instead of just turning Mort black (as that show was in development for some time and they knew which character disney dvd box setthey could draw from), and what’s South park dvd collectionreally not funny is Carl disney dvd box setas Yoda.
