If you think you know Family Guy, you don't know sith! Peter Griffin is back telling the story about Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. So I have to give my brother credit for getting me onto Family Guy. I seriously think that when I get the time, I shall rent the series out from work and watch it. Maybe you'll see TV reviews on Hannah Belle's Couch soon. Who knows?
Another blackout, another story. This time the story is longer, almost an hour, and retelling the story of The Empire Strikes Back. Filled with even more deadly-timed punchlines, fatal lighsaber swings, and musical numbers than Blue Harvest.
The thing about this movie that really impressed me, aside from when Han is frozen in carbonite and he exposes his arse (which really only worked because he's a cartoon character, I mean it would have just been disturbing if Harrison Ford actually did that, although I'm sure he had a very nice arse back in the day), was the ending. So the space ships are drifting lazily away into some celestial sunrise or sunset or whatever, and then it rewinds and a letter is brought to Chris. The letter is from the Doc in Back to the Future and then the big writing comes up and says "TO BE CONCLUDED" in the Back to the Future type writing. I found that fucking hysterical! It was nothing short of pure genius!
And that was the highlight of the film for me. Something Something Something Dark Side was just as funny and clever as Blue Harvest, but as I said in the other review, you could easily get tired of these flicks.
