Family Guy’s Something… Dark Side Trailer

Published by Jeff Leins on: November 24th, 2009

This is a post about Family Guy’s “Something, Something, Something Dark Side” trailer, but I couldn’t fit the whole title in the subject line.  I hope you’ll forgive me.

The movie is Family Guy’s humorous take on Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back after their success with Episode IV parody titled “Blue Harvest.”  By the way, the title comes from this clip in the “Barely Legal” episode (season 5) where the Emperor finds the formula for great Star Wars dialogue. The trailer is funny, but seems to be a lot of recycled jokes from previous seasons.

Official synopsis:
The saga continues as Luke (Chris), Leia (Lois), Han Solo (Peter) and Chewbacca (Brian) have evaded the dreaded Imperial Starfleet led by the cunning, conniving and curiously short evil lord Darth Vader (Stewie), setting up a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth. With the rebellion in trouble, young Skywalker must take the advice of his late, and rather lascivious, mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Herbert) and learn the ways of the “farce” under Jedi Master Yoda (Carl) to save the galaxy once and for all.

Here’s the trailer, in “eye-popping 2-D!”

Something, Something, Something Dark Side will be available December 22, 2009 on iTunes, DVD, and Blu-Ray.
