BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

bob the moo When a power cut hits the Griffin family home the usual focal point of the television is lost and Peter turns to a more traditional source of entertainment – original story telling. To entertain his family Peter tells a story of a young farm boy on a distant planet, drawn into the fight against the strength of the evil Empire.Understandably this episode was heavily pushed on DVD for sale and, thinking it was a full film I did add it to my LoveFilm list. Fortunately before that site could work out to get it to the top of my list I noticed that BBC were showing it as part of the new season of Family Guy. So, pleased that I saved myself a bit of cash, I watched it on BBC3 the other recently. From the very start the novelty value of seeing the familiar Star Wars footage and hearing the music the novelty value had me hooked. For a show built heavily on popular culture reference and p*ss-taking jokes, Family Guy offers lots of potential for affectionately spoofing the show – with its own style leaning away from the easy gags but also able to carry them as well.Mostly the approach is very funny, with plenty of good laughs. There are one or two misfires in there that don't work but for every one of those there are about ten good hits. It is all a bit silly of course and those that do not "get" Family Guy humour will find the same problem here, however for the majority I think it will work as it did for me. The "casting" of the regular characters is well done. Meg is wisely left to a apt and funny brief appearance while Peter and Brian are good as Han and Chewie. Lois as Leah is not overused while Chris is a good Luke. Cleveland and Quagmire are imaginatively cast as the droids. Both Stewie and old perv Herbert are well put in the roles of Vader and Kenobi but the former is not used often enough while the latter is perhaps overused to a certain degree and is responsible for a miss or two.Blue Harvest is not perfect, nor is it worth buying a forty minute special for the price of a full-length DVD but otherwise it is an enjoyable and very funny Star Wars spoof that is not so much mocking as it is affectionately joshing.

sexystarwarslover When i first heard that Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy and American dad was doing a Family Guy Star Wars episode entitled "Blue Harvest" i thought 'oh this is too funny and i have to see this' and after many months, i finally got to see it, but not on TV but brought the DVD just this month and i could not stop laughing! Being a Star Wars fan first before i was a fan of Family Guy, i knew the Star Wars movies well and after seeing Family Guy episodes, i knew it would be full of gags and laughs, "I sited my pants" Stewie as Darth Vader says to Lois as Leia and Adam West as Tarkin and having Herbert as Obi Wan Kenobi was truly well casting as Chris was Luke Skywalker. i thought having Cleveland as R2 was very original and funny, lines like, "Yeah! that's how we do it in my neighborhood, b*****!" or Peter as Han Solo, "Oh you mean that thing you just found out about three hours ago and are now judging me for not believing in it?" The DVD contains scenes that were not on the television broadcast, that i did not know about until the commentary pointed out, which goes through all the details that went into making the story, including guest stars of the episode, not to mention features such as "The making of Blue Harvest" "A conversation with George Lucas" "Family Guy Star Wars clip show", it's amazing to see how many Star Wars gags are in the episodes and an "Introduction to Family Guy".If you love Star Wars and Family Guy, then this is for you, you'll laugh like you've never laughed before

jisaacs1 This is one of the Single Best (TM) Star Wars parodies I have ever seen. Not only did they make extensive use of the John Williams soundtrack, they also gave credit to him, and even included him and the London Symphony Orchestra as characters (not to mention the multi-talented Danny Elfman), but they actually reproduced in exquisite detail many of the critical special effects (from the original, not the special edition)! Also, the references to Robot Chicken's parody (not even nearly as good) and Cartoon Network (carefully, and as such, even more skillfully avoiding references to Fox) were particularly priceless! If these folks were given carte Blanche and an unlimited budget for the entire saga . . . Oh - My - G-O-D! I can only hope . . . !

thanudir IMHO, Family Guy just keeps getting better and better with each episode..Last night, I watched this episode, and it just kept topping itself as it went along.I am glad that Lucas has the good humour to allow this and the Robot Chicken Star Wars episode to be made during this 30th anniversary of his movie. I'll have to go back and watch this again with some friends of mine just to see their reaction.I can't wait to see what the rest of this season is going to bring us.. or will the creators of the show push it too far again and get canceled?
