Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side [Blu-ray] Specifications
Chris Griffin is right: when it comes to obsessive geekery and mining absurdity from the minutiae of the Star Wars universe, the comic force is stronger with Robot Chicken. But Family Guy strikes back with the second episode in its goof on the original holy trilogy. The animation is more impressive than the jokes, which are scattered all over the galaxy--the good (an Empire recruitment film), the bad (Yoda's teachings revolve around guy-movie trivia), and the ugly (wholly gratuitous--and here unbleeped--F-bombs). Devoted viewers will catch in-jokes inside of other in-jokes (this program takes its title from the season 5 episode "Barely Legal," in which the Emperor discovers the formula for great Star Wars dialogue). There is some interesting stunt casting with nebbish Mort Goldman as Lando Calrissian and the Giant Chicken as Boba Fett. James Caan cameos, as does, sorta, Tom Selleck. And Meg is once again reduced to embodying a hideous space creature, although at least she gets a line of dialogue. The DVD and Blu-ray editions contain metachlorine-rich extra features, including lively (and at times slanderous) audio commentary by Seth MacFarlane, Seth Green, writer Kirker Butler, director Dominic Polcino, and others; optional trivia pop-ups; and a table read of the Something, Something script. There is also a sneak-preview table read of the next installment, We Have a Bad Feeling About This. If I were an Ewok, I'd be worried, or on the phone to a lawyer. --Donald Liebenson
Customer Reviews
After the success of Family Guy's retelling of Star Wars animated special Blue Harvest, was only a matter of time before he told his own version of The Empire Strikes Back. Time's Up and the version of Family Guy is here with Something Something Dark Side. Currently, this is not an episode time is still on the air and at this time is to know only on DVD and Blu-ray (but we all know Seth MacFarlane is just so great to play like a money machine, and the episode of George Lucaswas) on television or cable at some point.
The story begins as the Blue Harvest has the power to go with Peter Griffin and turns entertaining the family, continuing the story of Star Wars, but with some special Family Guy. Darth Vader (Stewie) using the full control over the kingdom to find the Rebel Alliance, and dry them once and for all. Luke (Chris) wants a Jedi, and Han (Peter) and Leia (Lois), Chewie (Brian) and C-3PO (Quagmire), trying to escape the empireFinally, to flee to Cloud City to visit with Han old friend Lando (Mort Goldman) a.
Something Something Dark Side does a good job to stay true to the Star Wars saga and the continuation of the story begun in "Blue Harvest, while Smashing various typical Family Guy-pop culture references and humor. Just as The Empire Strikes Back and a film better than Star Wars, was something DARK SIDE something better than Blue Harvest. Blue Harvest is approximately 8Minutes shorter DARK SIDE something something, but there are times when "Blue Harvest, where the plot drags a bit. 'This does not mean to do Something Something Dark Side, moving quickly from one scene to another, not will stop the jokes and the story moves at a quick pace.
My favorite scene is the episode where Yoda is training Luke. The scene takes place as an assembly and intersect with the actual music and movies of the Russian boxer DragoTraining in Rocky IV The juxtaposition is hilarious.
The DVD extras include a commentary, a way to play the episode with pop-up data (and, unlike most DVDs with this feature you can actually fast forward through the sequence and still read the pop-up ) Sneak Peak of a table read, we feel bad about this (the 'Family Guy Return of the Jedi), and a featurette with creators of the poster DARK SIDE Something Something.
Overall,This DVD is something that appeals to both Family Guy "and" Star Wars "fans. It offers some have foul language, so parents be careful.
