Blue Harvest ruled...

    *
      The conference room scene between Darth and his generals. There
is that .1% vulnerability on the Death Star. You know, that small hole
that, if you shoot a laser into it, the station blows up
    *
      It seems that MacFarlane was able to use a number of scenes from
the actual movie and overlay them with animation. It looked very good
on-screen.
    *
      John Williams and his orchestra die when Luke's aunt and uncle
are killed. Now they have to use Danny Elfman for the score.
    *
      After Lois/Leia records her message to Obi-Wan, she needs to
work through R2's Windows Interface to chose the correct media player
to make an mpeg file.
    *
      In the Cantina scene I could swear I saw one of the characters
from Home Movies sitting at one of the back booths.
    *
      Luke: I got 'em! I got 'em!' Han: 'Great kid! Don't get penisy'
    *
      Red Leader asks for all of his wings to sound off, including
Redd Foxx, Helen Reddy, Big Red chewing gum, Simply Red, Red Buttons
and Red October.
    *
      National Lampoon's Star Wars Vacation. Clark Griswold wants his
kids to see the plight of the Rebellion. Chevy Chase and Beverly
D'Angelo provide the voices.
    *
      The other guest voice actors for this episode: Some of them you
would be surprised about. Besides Chase and D'Angelo Rush Limbaugh and
Helen Reddy also provided their own character voices.
    *
      Chris' little dig to Peter concerning Robot Chicken at the end
of the episode. That was probably one of the funnier moments.
    *
      The title 'Blue Harvest'. For those of us who are not total Star
Wars geeks, this was the title of the fictitious film used to ensure
secrecy during the filming of Return of the Jedi.

A few?? The whole damn thing looked so freaking awesome! The 3D ships were absolutely beautiful! They even worked in the famous Wilhelm Scream!!

Yes! That was Coach McGuirk!!!! I saw him too!!

As did I. Is there some significance that I'm missing (other than the fact that H. Jon Benjamin was part of the voice cast for this and one previous episode)?

I was hoping that there would be a joke along those lines, but I didn't actually expect one.

	Worst idea ever. A hour wasted and never to return. I HATED the Star
Wars parody. It was so out of the "Family Guy" genre of unexpected
situations that I watched in horror and boredom. If it wasn't the first
week of new TV I would have dipped into my stash of tapes. I kept
expecting it to get better and it never did.
	FG has worked in the past with fast cuts and interspersed nonsense
while this episode (2 actually) just went on and on never invoking the
insanity that FG is famous for. I have never seen Robot Chicken but 15
minutes would have been better than this disaster.
	Suits from the network meddling? I don't know but it will be difficult
to talk my wife into watching FG for a while.
                     Tee Jay

I agree with TeeJay. I didn't like the episode at all. It was SOOOOOOO predictable. everything was predictable. it was boring, i don't think I gigled more than once and that's it. usually on a fg episode I LOL all the time. they overexploited the Chris-herbert duo and it looked stupid. Stupid, stupid episode. i hope the season improves over time

Seth has mentioned many times in interviews (I heard it on Opie & Anthony last Friday myself) that he was a HUGE fan of Home Movies.

It also kinda explained why it wasn't fixed or covered up with a board.

"Over my charred dead body!"

Yes, you did!

repeated verbatum from the orginal Vacation.

Rush's bit was awesome!

The Jewas were awesome. Tom Tucker's kid was one of their droids. Not so fond of the Grey Poupon bit, tho...

Loved the hyperspace sequence.

"Thanks for the sex, early 90's printer!" (later...) "you think that early 90's printer was you know, clean looking?"

The Grey Poupon bit would have worked if they had cut it short and not gone in for the close up. Sure, we'd have had to explain it to half the audience later, but so what?

Roger from American Dad was in there somewhere, too

As was Bender from Futurama. (Roger appears at the end of the opening pan, standing next to the bar; Bender is in the booth that's to the right of Coach McGuirk's.)

I just re-watched the show and picked up some other non-Star Wars aliens in the Cantina scene :

• Bender (from "Futurama" - first booth in back) !!!!!!!
• Coach McGuirk (from "Home Movies" - second booth in back)
• The Evil Monkey (sitting next to Coach McGuirk)
• Roger (from "American Dad" - in front of bar when panning stops)

What the heck was this? I am way not aware of this show if it's NOT Robot Chicken.

I caught on due to myspace and their Family Guy Wars images.

I'm way out of the TV loop. GDU Discovery Channel!

I created a composite of the full Cantina pan, here:

Thanks for the picture ... wikipedia has an entry saying that Homer Simpson is also in the cantina, but looking at your pic, I still don't see him ... anyone else see a version of the scene with Homer (maybe from Adult Swim or some other version?)

I just went through the entire Cantina scene (from the Fox version - Adult Swim won't air it until a week from Sunday), and didn't see Homer in it at all.

Obviously added by a nitwit, unless he thought this week's ep, in which Quagmire rapes Marge and kills the whole family was part of the Star Wars ep.

Nope, no Homers, but isn't that KKKarl Rove at the very beginning on the extreme right?
