[Here is a preview of a Family Guy Star Wars special that aired at some Star Wars celebration.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGyGlp8sEHo) (Youtube link, and crummy quality, too…but still hilarious!) Does anyone else have any more information on this? I haven’t heard a thing, but then, I don’t watch a lot of TV, but I do watch adult swim, and I would think they would advertise this, even if it was going to be on Fox. ---

As one who thinks the new episodes haven’t been that great, I gotta say, that was really funny! ---

What a pity the canned laughter drowns out everything. I stopped watching very quickly. ---

[QUOTE=ArchiveGuy] Here’s the [Simpsons opener](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_38vPCjB0Q), _SW_-style. [/QUOTE] Not bad, but too many inconsistencies. So maggie is R2-D2…but then Lisa is C3-PO AND R2-D2? Then R2 is the TV? And it’s Grandpa as Obi-Wan instead of Marge at the grocery store, and then instead of Marge and Maggie driving, it’s Ned and Barney (as Han and Chewie?) ---

[QUOTE=bouv] then Lisa is C3-PO AND R2-D2? [/QUOTE] No, C-3PO and R2-D2 are themselves…which is actually even more confusing.
