Family Guy's Return Of The Jedi Parody - Details

Well, limited details, anyway. Basically, a release date, December 21. Also, a guest cast that will include Carrie Fisher, Patrick Stewart, and Michael Dorn. Finally, there's a parody of the RotJ poster with Family Guy characters. Can't really make out who Jabba is supposed to be, but it seems Tim the Bear from The Cleveland Show is an Ewok.

 

Jabba is blurry, but that really looks like Joe Swanson's chin to me.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

 

I think Jabba is Joe (neither uses legs).

Edit:you beat me to it

 

Joe being Jabba makes a lot more sense than Joe being Biggs or the probe droid.

 

Cool. I hope it's better than "Something, Something, Something, Darkside Guy" which I found disappointing.

 

I really enjoyed the first two, and fully expect the third to be more of the satisfying same.

 

I loved the first one, and enjoyed parts of the second one (even though Robot Chicken beat them to the punch on some jokes, like about Lando wearing Han's clothes at the end), but overall thought it was a little disappointing. Hopefully the third one is better.

 

I still want that TWOK parody. Damn paramount! Cooperate!

 

Have they said if they'll do the prequels?

 

They better have a five minute long Giant Chicken fight in this one. I was sorely disappointed that the Chicken was Boba Fett in the second one but they didn't fight!!!

 

Rush Limbaugh as the Sarlaak pit monster.

 

Actually, from the costume they have the Bear wearing - it more looks like he'll be one of the Ewoks.

 

Patrick Stewart and Michael Dorn in a Star Trek joke, eh? I found the TNG episode of Family Guy alright, I'll say that much.

Anyway, I wasn't a huge fan of the first two, but they had their moments, the first more then the second (they feel a lot like being made by people who have seen the original trilogy way too many times, which makes some of the parodies of the films dead on); but hey, I'll probably see this too why not.

 

I think they said in the SSSD commentary that they weren't interest in doing the PT. More's the pity. I love the prequels.

 

the truth is that Han was wearing Lando's clothes, well, clothes that Lando bought and stocked the captains quarters of the Falcon before loosing it to Han

 

I thought Macfarlane said recently that Fox told him not to do it because they weren't sure it would be a ratings hit like Star Wars parodies?

 

The first one was okay; the second one was a bit better....and I'm looking forward to seeing how this next one turns out.

 

Uh, ok..... Methinks you may be "over thinking" this...

 

They're funny enough on their own.

But really, if the FG writers don't enjoy those movies they shouldn't try to make adaptations of them, it wouldn't result in a good product. They're also not really iconic enough; the original movies have had decades to sink into our collective mentality. The prequel trilogy didn't impact people in the same way, they're not a part of me like the originals are.

 

I've never heard that. Last I've heard is Mcfarlane saying he'd love to do it but Paramount won't let him.
