Without a shadow of a doubt this 'final' instalment in the Family GuyStar Wars trilogy is the weakest, but that doesn't mean that it is abad film. It doesn't demand your attention (but whenever has a FamilyGuy episode?), and is an easy viewing. There are moments of originalityand a couple of clever and rewarding jokes, but ultimately, it feelsclichéd and slightly stale, but is still rather enjoyable nonetheless.

There are some moments of pure gold in the film (a Stormtrooper pillowfight, 'Death Star' design flaws, Green versus MacFarlene and Louis /Leia's protestations about her treatment in captivity, for example, arestandouts which raised big laughs), but on the whole, it's a simplywatchable affair.

The first Star Wars spoof was endlessly enjoyable, casting favouriteFamily Guy characters as the now classic characters from the Star Warsuniverse, providing a fresh slant on the old story. That formulahowever grew stale quickly. Something, Something Darkside suffered anoticeable drop in quality from Blue Harvest as does It's a Trap! fromSomething, Something.

The problem with this Star Wars run is simple, they ran out of gags totie in to the universe. There are too many predictable moments in it.Sure enough, Meg was cast as the Sarlaac creature and I was awaitingthe 'appearance' of long-time running 'joke' Conway Twitty in thisepisode, and, sadly, it came. There is an enjoyable, if somewhatoverlong, nodding gag, but is instantly recognisable as a time fillingdevice. This episode even has to resort to dragging in characters fromMacFarlene's extended universe, The Cleveland Show and American Dad! ina bid to, not only fill out the ever growing cast, but one feels, as anattempt to reinstall some originality to the proceedings. It fails.

Though it may not be a classic Family Guy episode, it is still worthwatching, if only for completions sake, but perhaps waiting for theprice of the disc to drop, or even wait for it to be aired on TV.Family Guy has long been declining in quality, but has had a recentresurgence, hopefully this latest dip is due to, as MacFarlenesuggests, FOX demanding another Star Wars instalment against the willof the writers, only the next series of Family Guy proper will tell.

I'm a big fan of Family Guy and have been for a long time as well as aStar Wars fan and wow was this movie is just crap! You'd think afterall the references Seth uses from Star Wars and having an interviewwith George Lucas he would have put effort into something he claims he"loves." Yeah he covers his ass by saying it sucks in the beginning andthat the company was basically forced to write it and you wonder whyeven make it then? Does family Guy suck that much that another networkwouldn't just pick it up like honestly he rags on his own network likecrazy yet still does what they tell him to, lately I think both FOX andSeth only care about dollar signs because as the seasons have gone onthey seem to imitate The Simpson's in many aspects one in particular isthat both Homer and Peter seem to get stupider as the seasons drag on.I loved the beginning of the seasons and the first 2 Star Wars moviesbut ahh I guess it's good that you can stream all the seasons onNetflix for 7 bucks instead of wasting 40 for a 3 disc season or now amovie that was made that you'd want to clean your butt with. All in allthis movie shits on Star Wars with lack of effort and repetitive jokesto waste time!

The Family Guy series did a decent job of parodying Star Wars ingeneral before introducing this trilogy of parodies and this shows thatthe parodies for Star Wars have gotten somewhat stale. Even the openingcrawl said that the episode is not as funny as the predecessors so youknow when they're just flat out saying it at the start there areglaring problems and whilst I know its supposed to be humorous andtongue in cheek but it shows that even they are running out of steam.Dare I say the same can be said for the series in general? Well that'sa different debate altogether but the episode isn't horrible. It playsout like a regular episode as opposed to a special and loses some ofthe charm of the predecessors where you get the feeling they reallyenjoyed making them and that isn't there here.

The jokes are quite good mostly with a few good laughs here and there.The ewoks finishing off the stormtroopers at the end of the battle wasvery funny and whilst I would of thought I'd see it as a mere shockvalue gag it really amused me. There's the usual jokes about the flawsin the plot etc but like I say its growing stale and merely leaves mehoping that they don't touch the prequels because there will be nojokes outside of flaws which will make for a very boring episodesindeed. On the other hand the true weakest joke of the episode came inthe spoof of the Sarlaac scene on Tatooine where they make fun thenodding of acknowledgement of the plan. This was amusing at first butit went on far too long like so many jokes on this show. While thatjoke was weak the only terrible joke was the 'Darth' Twitty gag whichhad me cringing. It wasn't funny once and it wasn't funny in any of thesubsequent times and superimposing a Darth Vader helmet on does notautomatically make it funny. In spite of these complaints it was moreor less amusing with the Emperor played well by Carter Pewterschmidtand I'm glad they got him to play the role. There were some good injokes about Seth MacFarlane and Seth Green especially during thelightsabre battle which during this scene anyway didn't feel like theywere dragging it too long. To summarise this was an decent episode thatI did enjoy there were just more flaws in this one than the others. Inow hope they lay off the Star Wars parodies because even they knowthey are stale now surely

this wasn't the best star wars out of the family guy trilogy but wasgood. i got this for Christmas and i had a few doubts because like thereal movie return of the jedi it got boring a lot. but at leastmacfarlane was wise enough to cover those boring parts with comedy. iam a huge family guy fan. i especially liked when stewie (darth vader)and lois father (the emperor) started to insult seth green whiletalking to chris (luke). it just so happens seth green is the voice ofchris but every family guy fan knows that. anyway chris goes intodefense for seth green and kept getting mad about them insulting sethgreen. and that is how the battle between chris and stewie started. iespecially laughed about the way darth vader (stewie) died. hilarious.buy this movie. you wont regret it. seth macfarlane is a comic genius.especially with family guy and the cleveland show. American dad not somuch.
