Family guy star wars trilogy
One of Family Guy’s defining qualities is that it goes for the jugular, and there’s a lot more opportunity for biting parody in the controversial prequel and sequel trilogies than the universally adored original trilogy. The show shouldn’t just parody the original trilogy, but the prequels, and the sequels, too. Family Guy’s increasing meta-ness would open it up to revisiting the fan-favorite concept. Now that Disney has acquired both Lucasfilm and 21st Century Fox, putting both properties under the same corporate banner once more, Family Guy should spoof the remaining Star Wars movies. The original Family Guy Star Wars episodes benefited from Fox owning both franchises. RELATED: Family Guy Creator Seth McFarlane Rebooting Revenge of the Nerds

The episode proved to be so popular that the show followed it up with a parody of The Empire Strikes Back, titled “Something Something Something Dark Side,” and a parody of Return of the Jedi, titled “It’s a Trap!”Īt the end of “It’s a Trap!” when Peter finishes telling the story of Jedi, he says, “The end, and that’s the final chapter in the Star Wars saga.” Meg asks, “What about the prequels?,” and Peter replies, “I think The Cleveland Show’s gonna do those.” But The Cleveland Show was canceled years ago and the only movie parody it did was Die Hard, so that clearly isn’t going to happen. It’s a loose remake of the original 1977 Star Wars movie with Family Guy’s characters in place of George Lucas’ iconic creations.
“Blue Harvest,” the hour-long season 6 premiere of Family Guy, is hailed as one of the show’s greatest episodes.
