The folks at “Family Guy” take shots at “Star Wars” with this special. “Blue Harvest” was the working title for “Return of the Jedi” as the filmmakers sought to keep fans and press away from production. Unfortunately, this “Family Guy” spoof is rather underwhelming. There is so much potential when it comes to mocking “Star Wars” but even “Robot Chicken” did a better job at this.

During a power cut, the Griffin family are unsure how to entertain themselves to see Peter decides to tell the story of the original “Star Wars”. See many of the famous scenes done with the satirical “Family Guy” style.

I’m not much of a fan of the characters of “Family Guy”. I didn’t care about seeing Chris as Luke Skywalker, Peter as Han Solo or Stewie as Darth Vader. Some may dislike the decision to have the child molester character from the show be Obi-Wan Kenobi. Of all the ways to spoof the Obi-Wan character, they decide to make him a child molester, why? Maybe if I liked the characters from the show more, I’d find it funny when they get all the different ones to be the different “Star Wars” characters. The animation on the characters has never really impressed me. I think they look rather lifeless compared to a lot of animated shows.

The best scene in “Blue Harvest” is where they mention how “Robot Chicken” already did a “Star Wars” spoof. Most of the gags here are rather lousy and I think the movie “Spaceballs” does a way better job parodying “Star Wars” than this. If you are a big fan of “Family Guy” then you’ll probably love this but I just found it to be really boring. I wish “The Simpsons” could have done a whole “Star Wars” special during their prime.
