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

5 out of 5 stars

a long time ago, but strangly in the future. June 15, 2008
best episode ever. blue harvest id brilliant all way through. with all the star wars jokes on the show it was ovious that this would be amazing. sewie as darth vadar is funny and peter is exellant as han sol. the couch bit is really funny. I look forwood to the next one. blue harvest-5/5.

extras-4.5/5.

on the extras you get a bonus episode(pointless if you have season 4). documenteries and a george lucas interview. there is a 3d scene and the box comes with glasses. you get a t-shirt , cards and a booklet.

worth buying but the box is a bit fiddley.

What a pity! April 26, 2008
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 April 13, 2008

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) March 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

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...!

My diapers have gone over to the darkside. February 23, 2008
I saw this family guy special before i bought so i knew what i was purchasing when i ordered it and episode wise i was not disapointed, the jokes were new and had me laughing, it was fun to see the the characters of Star Wars get the family guy treatment and be warped so darth vader and C3PO were twop of the best! Although it was a little on the short side (around 45-50 minutes long) i was pleased with it.

The extras that you get in the collectors edition are not bad the booklet had some good artwork and the collector cards were nice but the holographic image that they make was a little lack luster, surely one of the space battle scene would have been better? The T-shirt looked okay but i can't help but think that in a month or so the same exact t-shirt will be in HMV stores, making your one alot less "collectable".

I recently got the Blade Runner collectors 5 disc dvd set for my mother and compared to that the family guy pack look pretty low grade, but this isn't a blade runner review!

The dvd extras are okay, you get an extra episode of family guy but it's from the forth season so i was left a little annoyed, why not give the fans an exclusive season 6 episode it also has a 3D version of the fight scene whichyou can use the glasses for but it's nothing great, another thing the glasses are cheap cardboard ones, why couldn't they give us plastic ones? but i guess they were trying to keep production costs down.

The family guy version of episode five entitled "Something something something Darkside" (an in joke) is already in production and they will almost certainly make an episode six parody but i can't help but think they will then make a more "definitive collectors edition" with all three episodes in it with more bits and bobs to entice us and make this collectors edition pale in comparison.

In summary if you really want this collectors edition buy it from Amazon as i have seen it in excess of 25 in highstreet stores but otherwise buy the normal version or wait a year or so and get the "super duper all three family guy star wars episodes in one! collectors definitive premium exclusive ultra box set" that will inevitably be released.
I gave it four stars because i'm a hardcore FG fan!
