Heads up the season finale/Star Wars spoof is on tonight.
It was OK but Blue Harvest was far superior IMO.
Why did they put the DVD months ago if they are going to just show an edited version on TV as a finale? Loved the parody though!
I probably cannot enjoy it as I’ve never seen anything Star Wars related.
I don’t like these things. I like Star Wars, and I like it when Family Guy does short cutaway jokes to Star Wars references, those are funny. But an entire episode of just Star Wars jokes is just too much, and uncreative. And some of the jokes are just dumb. There is a perfectly good reason there is a hole in the Death Star: it is an exhaust port. In Blue Harvest they make jokes about getting the whole covered up, but then how will the exhaust get out?
It seems they forgot to put the jokes in. Completely recreating a ESB scene with a self-referential quip does not make it funny.
ETA: I liked the first one.
A grill would suffice.
Good idea, but iirc the Blue Harvest guys suggested plywood
You could use plywood to create an extended muzzle so that it vents from the sides while still protecting it from an assault down that convenient trench. The specifics don’t matter, what matters is that a single shot to any specific point of the Death Star’s exterior shouldn’t be enough to blow it to pieces.
Plywood is surely no match for a blaster
Plywood doesn’t even exist in the Star Wars universe. Thus, joke.
You win this round. But even if that be a valid joke, I still don’t like the Family Guy let’s make an episode of just Star Wars
Well, I found them both enjoyable (the first one far more than the second one). If it’s not your thing, fine by me. What about the Robot Chicken Star Wars episode? Did you dislike that as well?
Regardless of whether or not I found them enjoyable, I must dislike them on the principle of that is a cheating way to make an episode. I find it more acceptable with Robot Chicken, since all they do is short cutaway scenes. At least Family Guy episodes have their own plot, even if there are a lot of unrelated scenes.
Regardless of whether you found them enjoyable, you must dislike them on principle? Just enjoy them, man.
It’s no more cheating and lazy than another fucking 3-minute chicken fight or a shitty, pointless full-length musical number like “Shipoopi.”
Joe
Yeah, but even the 3-minutes chicken fight isn’t the entire episode
Love F.G. to death.
Loathe their specials.
If I thoguht the first one was pretty bland - I mean, there really was hardly any actual humor in it, just copycatting the movie plus “Haha, look, it’s a Family Guy character! Isn’t that funny?!” - Am I unlikely to enjoy this one then?
I loved the Robot Chicken special, but that crossed up the inanities of real life with the dramatic scenes of Star Wars in a way I found pretty darn cool.
Pretty much. It’s still kind of funny if you like Family Guy, but if you hated the first one there’s nothing much to recommend here.
