Geeks Rejoice for Family Guy Parody

blue_harvestFamily Guy fans the world over are diverse and dedicated. These same fans fought to get the show back on the network and it worked. Since then the show’s creators never looked back. Perhaps ahead of it’s time when it was released the show has now brought in older and newer fans for episodes that hold no punches, targeting insults and satire in every direction.

The immersion of Family Guy into our pop culture is undeniable, and so much so, that even George Lucas approved a parody for the recreation of Star Wars, starring the characters of Family Guy fame. The working title which was “Blue Harvest“, the original fake working title for Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the Star Wars franchise. This episode showed as the first episode of the sixth season that ran an hour long.

Now fans are rejoicing as the release of the sequel, Something, Something, Something, Darkside, originally scheduled to be the season 7 finale had been pushed back to season 8 opener. The episode is now in all of it’s DVD glory ($15) for the rest of us to enjoy and there’s a lot more attached to this DVD then meets the eye.

The film is expected to be released on Dec. 22, 2009 and already people have been made aware that a reading for another sequel based on Return of the Jedi has already happened. So get ready folks, the Star Wars franchise is getting turned upside down thanks to the Griffin family.
