Amazon.co.uk Review
What better way to commemorate Star Wars' 30th anniversary than with this double-length Very Special Episode, a full-scale, awesomely animated spoof that recasts George Lucas's 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 paedophile, is Obi-Wan (both voiced by Mike Henry); and, of course, Stewie (Seth, one more time) 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 old 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's 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, Amazon.com

DVD Description
The laughs come full "Force" when the Griffin clan puts a freakin' sweet spin on the greatest sci-fi saga ever told. With Peter playing the swashbuckling Han Solo, Lois as the sexy Princess Leia, Chris as an adolescent Luke Skywalker, Brian as a well-spoken Chewbacca and Stewie finally embracing his dark side as Darth Vader, who knows what will happen? Filled with outrageous gags, spaced-out droids and more intergalactic satire than you can shake a lightsabre at, this epic spoof of Star Wars: A New Hope is a must-own for every fan of Family Guy.

Special Features
3D glasses + 2 min 3D clip T-Shirt - only available inpack. Trading cards - parody of orginal cards. 12 pg booklet with script excerpts, production notes, letter from Seth, Photos, Drawings.

Customer Reviews

What a pity!
My wife and myself just love Family Guy and thought the Star Wars spoof was excellent,pity Amazon.UK couldn`t get it together and send the goods I ordered ( The boxed limited edition)this item I preordered and ended up with the inferior single cased version.When I complained I ended up with the same item and on complaining again was told It seems like a common problem can`t help you will refund you". Thats not what I want from Amazon,so come on get your act together or lose my custom (Not the first time this has happened).

Good, but too expensive
It depends whether or not you collect family guy. If you do, get this. But if you don't its a real waste of money, okay the actual episode is hilarious, but:
Although it claims to be an hour long special, its only 40 minutes;
The 3D glasses dont make any difference;
The t-shirt is pointless;
The only reason you would buy this or even the cheaper one is if you collect fg, so the point of the extra episode I will never know, as it is in season 4, and yes its a great episode, but what do I gain from having it twice?;
The cards- what's the point, there is nothing there that isn't on the episode.
If you don't collect family guy, just watch it online because it's not worth buying it.

Always funny family guy disappoints! (+ cheating box)
I love family guy, no doubt about it, BUT this is just not funny (roughly)... or a good buy... the box is disappointing and the SW episode of family guy is in a weird way one of the worst episodes in a long time...

I suggest you buy the seasons instead or this SINGLE episode in the normal box, unless you must own everything with the title 'family guy' tag on it...

Also, the content shown in the picture is NOT what you get! the white card things or the Black envelope is NOT in the box (the box in the picture 'folds 4 times' the box YOU get i 'folds 3 times')

AND when you get i you have to 'break' the box a little to open it (as described by another user)

AND you don't get a digital copy for you ipod like the US

If you want to see the episode, go buy the normal disc.... not the box...!
