Plot[edit]

While the Griffins are watching television, the power goes out and they are left with no other form of entertainment. While they wait for the power to return, Peter decides to retell the story of Star Wars beginning with 'Part IV.'

A Rebel ship is captured by a Star Destroyer. On the ship are the droidsC-3PO (Quagmire), R2-D2 (Cleveland) and the rebel leader Princess Leia (Lois). While the ship is boarded by stormtroopers, Leia tries to send an MPEG to Obi-Wan Kenobi through R2, but encounters so many complications that R2 offers to deliver the message himself. Leia is captured by Darth Vader (Stewie) while R2 and 3PO flee to Tatooine in an escape pod, where they are captured by Jawas.

The droids are sold to a family of moisture farmers, whose nephew Luke Skywalker (Chris) wishes to join the Rebellion and fight the Empire. While cleaning the droids, Luke stumbles upon Leia's message inside R2, who later decides to leave the farm. Luke and C-3PO pursue him, but are attacked by Sand People. Luke is knocked out by one of them (Opie) and is found by Obi-Wan Kenobi (Herbert), who takes them to his hut. Leia's message explains that R2 contains the plans to the Death Star, which must be sent to her father on her home planet of Alderaan and asks Obi-Wan to help. Obi-Wan tells Luke that he must learn the ways of the Force and accompany him to Alderaan, and gives him his own lightsaber. Realizing that the Empire must be looking for the droids, Luke returns home to discover that his home has been destroyed and his aunt and uncle killed.

Luke, Obi-Wan, and the droids travel to Mos Eisley to find a pilot to take them to Alderaan. At a local cantina, they hire smuggler Han Solo (Peter) and his Wookiee co-pilot Chewbacca (Brian), who agree to take them with their ship, the Millennium Falcon. The group is soon spotted by stormtroopers and they flee into space, evading the pursuing Star Destroyers before jumping into hyperspace. Leia is imprisoned on the Death Star, where commanding officer Grand Moff Tarkin (Adam West) has Alderaan destroyed. The Millennium Falcon exits hyperspace and is captured by the Death Star's tractor beam and brought into its hangar bay. Disguising themselves as stormtroopers, Han and Luke along with Chewbacca set off to rescue the captive Princess while Obi-Wan goes to shut off the tractor beam and R2 and C3PO stay behind. Han, Luke and Chewie rescue Leia, and the four dive into a garbage chute to escape stormtroopers and find a couch in the garbage masher below. As they flee the Death Star, Obi-Wan turns off the tractor beam before being confronted by Darth Vader in a lightsaber duel. Vader strikes Obi-Wan down as the others board the Falcon, taking the couch with them.

The Falcon journeys to the Rebel base at Yavin IV, where the Rebels analyze the Death Star plans and find a weakness. Luke joins the assault team while Han collects his reward for the rescue and prepares to leave. The Rebel fighters attack the Death Star but suffer heavy losses during the assault. During his run, Luke hears Obi-Wan's voice telling him to use the Force, and he turns off his targeting computer. Vader appears with his own group of fighters, and is about to fire at Luke's starfighter when Han arrives in the Falcon and attacks Vader and his men, sending Vader's ship off into space. Guided by the Force, Luke fires into the port, destroying the Death Star, and he returns to the Rebel base with his friends to celebrate their victory.

Back at the Griffins' home, Peter wraps up the story as the power comes back on. Everyone thanks Peter for keeping them entertained, although Chris points out that Robot Chicken already told that story. Peter dismisses and mocks the show, and Chris storms off.

Family Guy Star Wars Episode Number

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane explained that the reason they made a parody of Star Wars in particular was because the show's staff members were huge fans of the films.^[4] They also chose Star Wars because Lucasfilm allowed it.^[4] MacFarlane stated that creating parodies based on Raiders of the Lost Ark or Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was originally considered, but they assumed they would be unable to gain permission from the owners of those properties (in this case Paramount Pictures).^[4] Lucasfilm only gave the show's staff one condition, which was that the characters had to look exactly like they do in the movies.^[4]

Clips of the episode were shown to audience members at Star Wars Celebration IV, where a panel was hosted by MacFarlane, Sulkin and Polcino, and executive producer David A. Goodman.^[5][6] The episode was also previewed at the 2007 Comic-Con International.^[7]

Star Wars Trilogy Dvd

In addition to the regular cast, actors Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo, musician Mick Hucknall, singer Helen Reddy, and political commentator Rush Limbaugh made guest appearances.^[2] Recurring guest voice actors Phil LaMarr, Johnny Brennan, Jon Benjamin, Lori Alan, Adam West, Ralph Garman, writer Danny Smith, writer John Viener, executive producer Steve Callaghan, Kirker Butler, executive producer Mark Hentemann writer Wally Wingert and Alec Sulkin also made minor appearances in the episode.^[2]

Cultural references[edit]

'Blue Harvest' contains many references to popular culture, particularly to the Star Wars film series. Most of the episode itself is a retelling of George Lucas' film Star Wars.^[8] The episode's name is a reference to the fake working title for the production of Return of the Jedi.^[8]

When Peter is about to begin telling the story he says that it is about 'love and loss, fathers and sons, and the foresight to retain international merchandising rights', a reference to the fact that 20th Century Fox gave those rights to Lucasfilm.^[4] During the text scrawl actress Angelina Jolie, her film Gia, and the television channel HBO are mentioned.^[8]

One of the Star Destroyers displays a bumper sticker reading 'Bush – Cheney' a reference to United States PresidentGeorge W. Bush and Dick Cheney's 2004 re-election campaign.^[8] When the Millennium Falcon enters hyperspace, the visual effect is replaced with the intro sequence from Doctor Who, using the version of that sequence from the Tom Baker era; and when the Millennium Falcon leaves hyperspace, it gets to the Asteroids. Once Leia is captured, Vader asks her where she hid the Death Star plans, leading her to respond that they are in one of twenty-six briefcases, a reference to the game show Deal or No Deal.^[9]

When Luke is watching the sunset, he breaks the fourth wall by introducing Star Wars composer John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra, who have been scoring the scene, in a parody of a scene from Blazing Saddles featuring Count Basie and his orchestra.^[8] Luke then asks the orchestra to play the theme of The People's Court.^[8] Later in the episode when Luke finds his uncle and aunt murdered, he also finds that Williams and the entire orchestra have been killed as well; this saddens Luke, since the episode will now have to be scored by composer Danny Elfman before Luke decapitates him with his lightsaber.^[8] While searching for R2-D2, Luke listens to conservative political commentator Rush Limbaugh's radio show , in which Limbaugh says that the 'liberal galactic media is saying that the planet Hoth is melting'.^[8]

One of the band members that plays at the cantina asks for any song request and then he subtly responds to his own question by saying 'play that same song,' a reference to the fact that the song being played in the film scene lasts a long time.^[10]

Obi-Wan sings a rendition of '(I've Had) The Time of My Life' from the film Dirty Dancing, in case he never sees Luke again.^[8] In a fight with a group of TIE fighters, Luke asks the origins behind their name; the following scene then shows that the pilots are from Thailand. Leslie Nielsen's character from the movie Airplane! wishes Han good luck during their encounter with the TIE fighters.^[10] When seeking how to destroy the Death Star, the rebels look at an instructional video hosted by basketball player Magic Johnson.^[10] Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo's characters from the National Lampoon's Vacation films appear driving by the Death Star.^[8] Chris, who is voiced by Seth Green, points out that Robot Chicken already did a Star Wars parody (Green is the creator of Robot Chicken).^[8]

Reception[edit]

In its original broadcast on September 23, 2007, 'Blue Harvest' was viewed by 10.86 million viewers.^[11] The episode acquired a 5.5 Nielsen rating, the audience measurement systems developed to determine the audience size and composition of television programming in the United States, in the 18–49 demographic.^[11]

Reviews of this episode were generally positive. Common Sense Media gave the episode three out of five stars, calling it a 'ribald but often hilarious satire of fantasy favorite'.^[9] Brad Trechak of TV Squad also praised 'Blue Harvest', stating that it 'was a fun episode to watch'; he thought that 'MacFarlane kept to the story pretty well, and there were enough corny jokes to make it amusing'.^[8] Ahsan Haque from IGN gave it a score of seven out of ten, criticizing the selection of Herbert as Obi-Wan, but did say that the other choices were 'spot-on'; he ended his review by stating, 'as a tribute to Star Wars, this episode succeeds, but you can't help but wish that there was a bit more to it, considering the nature of the source material'.^[12] In a later review of the season as a whole, Haque said that the episode was 'generally entertaining, but certainly wasn't as great as it could have been'.^[13] In 2019, however, Jesse Schedeen, also from IGN, placed 'Blue Harvest' as the second best episode in his list of the 20 best Family Guy episodes, to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary, stating that it 'was Family Guy's first attempt at devoting an hour-length episode to lampooning the Star Wars franchise, and it remains the best.'^[14] Daniel Fienberg of Zap2it also gave it a positive review although he stated that it was released soon after Robot Chicken's Star Wars special and it fared worse because of it.^[15] Tom Eames of entertainment website Digital Spy placed the episode at number three on his listing of the best Family Guy episodes in order of 'yukyukyuks' and described the episode as 'pretty much the same [as its sequel] but better.'^[16]

Newsday's Diane Werts rendered a more mixed verdict, saying the episode 'veer[s] wildly from bull's-eye satire to gotta-fill-time-now exposition', and was not as enjoyable for non-Star Wars fans.^[17] Robin Pierson of The TV Critic also gave it a mixed review, criticizing the writers for using the character of Herbert and the episode's musical moment which he called an 'un-amusing waste of time', although he did praise the way that the episode satirized the Star Wars universe; he ended his review by saying that 'Chances are the more you like Star Wars, the more you will enjoy this. For those of us who know Family Guy better than Star Wars, there is plenty of bad material here to remind us that nothing much has changed'. He gave the episode sixty-five out of a possible one-hundred.^[10]

The Parents Television Council, a group that has been a frequent critic of Family Guy, criticized the episode for a perceived frequent use of sexual dialogue, enough for the episode to have an 'S' content descriptor for sexual content (the episode was rated TV-14-DLV on Fox).^[18]

In 2009, TV Guide ranked 'Blue Harvest' #99 on its list of the 100 Greatest Episodes.^[19]

DVD release[edit]

The episode was released on January 15, 2008 for DVD and on August 7, 2012 for Blu-ray in Region 1.^[20][21] It was issued on January 21, 2008 for DVD in Region 2,^[22] and on February 6, 2008 DVD and on August 24, 2011 for Blu-ray in Region 4.^[23][24] 'Blue Harvest' was also released as part of the Laugh It Up, Fuzzball: The Family Guy Trilogy which was released on December 21, 2010 for DVD and on December 21, 2010 for Blu-ray in Region 1.^[25][26] It was issued on December 27, 2010 for both DVD and Blu-ray in Region 2.^[27][28] Its release date in Region 4 was December 22, 2010 for DVD and January 12, 2011 for Blu-ray.^[29][30]

Since 1997, George Lucas has been hell bent on ruining the original Star Wars trilogy. Every new release—in theaters, on DVD, and on Blu-Ray—comes with more added garbage than the last. This fan-made version of the original trilogy is the best version of Star Wars you can watch.

10 of the worst changes to the Star Wars trilogy after their original theatrical release

There have been so many little changes in the original Star Wars trilogy since their theatrical…

Between adding a silly Jabba the Hutt scene to the first movie, putting an absurd musical number in Return of the Jedi, and Greedo shooting first (a change so controversial it has its own Wikipedia page), it’s like Lucasfilm is trolling us. I mean come on—what does a big CGI alien walking in front of the shot possibly add to the movie? At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jar Jar Binks in the the 4K release of Return of the Jedi.

Unfortunately, you can’t buy the original version of the movie anymore, and it was never released in very high quality. The closest you can get is buying the laserdisc trilogy for $150 on eBay, the DVD with a low-quality version of the theatrical edition for $50, or break out those old VHS tapes from your closet.

But, with the help of many dedicated fans and video editors, an originaltrilogy.com forum user named Harmy decided to recreate the original, unaltered trilogy in high definition. He calls it the Despecialized Edition, and it’s the version of Star Wars we’ve all been clamoring for the last 20 years.

What the Despecialized Edition Does

Family Guy Star Wars

The Despecialized Edition is a “fan preservation”, aiming not to create a new version of the movie, but to restore the original trilogy exactly as it was in the 70s and 80s—little flaws and all. To recreate the original 1977 version of A New Hope, for example, he used clips from:

• The 2011 Blu-Ray edition
• An HDTV broadcast of the 2004 Special Edition DVD
• A low quality version of the original trilogy from the special features of the 2006 DVD, affectionately called George’s Original Unaltered Trilogy (or the “GOUT”)
• Various scans of 70mm and 35mm film prints and still images from the films

With the help of many other originaltrilogy.com members, Harmy took bits and pieces of the above sources and edited them together with the Blu-Ray footage to recreate the theatrical version of the movie—in 720p HD. Watch the video above to see how it was put together—it really is fascinating. (There’s a longer version here, if you’re really interested.)

Not all of the Special Edition changes are bad, of course. (I rather liked the redone CGI space battles.) But there is no doubt that this is the best version of the film you can get today. The color correction alone puts it so far ahead of the Blu-Ray that it’s the only version I’ll watch.

You can see a full list of Harmy’s changes, with screenshots and descriptions, in this Google+ album. You can also read more on the Despecialized Edition’s forum post at originaltrilogy.com, as wells as the threads for Empire Strikes Back’s Despecialized Edition and Return of the Jedi’s Despecialized Edition.

How to Find and Download the Despecialized Edition

Since this is an unofficial community project, the only way you can get it is..well, “unofficially”. The legality of this project is up in the air, and while some have made a Fair Use argument in the name of preservation, Harmy doesn’t offer the movie as a simple one-click download. You’ll have to do a bit of legwork to download and watch it. The creators also request that you legally own a copy of the Star Wars Blu-Rays, so that even if you aren’t on the most solid legal ground, you’re on solid moral ground.

TehPARADOX.com is the most “official” place to download the Despecialized Edition, though obtaining it can be a fairly complex process using a download manager (like FreeRapid Downloader or JDownloader). I have not been able to get this method to work properly (it reports most of the download links as dead), so while you can try it using these instructions, know that you may not have very much luck.

Update: A few of you noted that you got the JDownlader method working with the help of this YouTube video, so if you’re trying to go the more official method, give it a shot! HanDuet, uploader of the above video, has also provided new instructions in collaboration with Harmy for obtaining the films.

Update 2: HanDuet reached out to us to emphasize that the “official” download method as described in “The Ultimate Introductory Guide” is now significantly easier and under continuing development through direct collaboration with Harmy. Visit Harmy’s official Facebook page for the Despecialized Editions to learn more and stay updated.

By far the easiest way to obtain the movie, however—albeit a little shadier—is through BitTorrent. Just visit your favorite BitTorrent search engine (like torrentz.eu) and search for “star wars despecialized edition”. You’ll probably find quite a few options, though you may want to verify checksums after downloading to ensure you received an unaltered copy. Hp deskjet f4440 series printer driver. Remember to use a VPN or proxy to keep yourself anonymous when you download.

I know that seems like a lot of hassle, but trust me: once you’ve watched the Despecialized Editions, you’ll never go back.
