Family Guy Blue Harvest

[jessica]

In fact, if taking the easy way out were a sign of genius, Family Guy would be Stephen Hawking. Obviously, the series hoped the cooperation coup with Lucas would generate fan interest, if little else. Unfortunately, cast member Seth Green (he voices son Chris) beat it to the punchline when his Adult Swim series Robot Chicken delivered its own, far funnier Star Wars parody several weeks before. Said situation is actually a topic of debate near the end of Blue Harvest, Peter arguing that, no matter who was first, Green's stop motion satires can't compare to his wacky domain. For once, the fat man's got it right. Chicken's version of Wars was witty and irreverent. Blue Harvest is nothing more than a big hunk of bantha podo.

The DVD includes numerous extras, the highlight being an interview with MacFarlane quizzing George Lucas himself. A commentary track, Family Guy Star Wars-themed clips, and making-of footage are also available.
