Family Guy: Star Wars Episode VI Grade and Discuss
- Thread starter Candlelight
- Start date
I thought it was pretty funny for the most part. I liked the endless nods... the special edition creature, their ewoks... A chicken fight would've been epic, but hey, Boba just kind of falls in the pit... I guess they're highlighting how Lucas screwed the pooch there 
The constant Conway Twitty joke just shows Seth MacFarlene and his writers collective lack of talent.
I thought 'Blue Harvest' was hilarious, but they got progressively less funny with the two subsequent episodes. I barely even laughed during 'It's a Trap.' I think the Emperor taunting Luke/Chris with Seth Green insults was the funniest part. The lack of an epic chicken fight that everyone expected made it even worse.
The CGI sequences are impressive however. It's more interesting to watch it as a technical feat and to see CGI animated versions of classic Star Wars scenes at this point than for the humor, which is severely lacking.
Robot Chicken's effort this year was better, but not by much.

I think I read somewhere that Conway Twitty was originally just meant for a one-off WTF moment joke, but Seth MacFarlane liked it so much that he insists on bringing it back so often.
Why am I not surprised? Just shows Seth is a hack.
The sock puppet was hilarious as was the pitcher denying the play!I thought it was pretty funny for the most part. I liked the endless nods... the special edition creature, their ewoks...

I'm I reading this right?
It sounds like you believe it's personal.
Nowhere Man
Commodore
I give it a B-/C+.
It was a pretty ridiculous question.
"His writing annoys me and disgusts my wife."
"Are you taking it personally?"
Again I must say,
I can't see where you'd infer anything personal about our not liking his writing. Do you think everyone else in the thread with a negative opinion takes it personally?

Emperor Carter stole the show I thought. All his scenes were a riot.
If I did, why would I ask just you?It was a pretty ridiculous question.

...but you've answered my question, all the same.
Thanks, much appreciated.

Thought it was funny enough, though I wouldn't pay the full blu-ray price if I had the decision to make again. There were a few laugh out loud moments and enjoyed the Star Wars parodies on the whole, but in the commentary they say the scroll is pretty much right and it was hard to make it good because so much of Jedi is just copying earlier things in the series so they end up parodying things they already parodied.
Do the individual Blu-Ray releases of 1 & 2 come in widescreen at all?
I just find it weird that 1&2 in the set are fullscreen & 3 is wide.
I watched them last Saturday, back to back.
Like a lot of others, I found them to get a little less funny as they went, but enjoyed the whole trilogy nonetheless.
Of course, some have the opinion that the actual SW trilogy got a little less good as it went along, so maybe it's art imitating art.
