What the hell do you buy with a lame $15 Wal*Mart Gift Card that you recently got for a Christmas Bonus? Well thankfully just released on DVD(and Blue Ray) for a lovely price of $14.95 is the latest in the Family Guy Star Wars Spoofs Something, Something, Something, Dark Side a loving remake of The Empire Strikes Back movie. SCORE!
So lame Christmas Bonus spent, package unwrapped and watched the minute I got home this morning I have to say just like the original Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back movie this outing of the Family Guy spoofing is better than the first one as well. I was laughing so much through out the hour long episode that I can forgive this one for not coming in a Widescreen version. I mean really Full Frame who does that anymore. But that is the only bad thing I have to say about this show.
Extra content is alright. I'm not a big commentary person but there is another version of the show that has interesting popup facts which made the second viewing just as enjoyable as the first viewing. Even if some of the longer content ones were harder to read since they weren't always on the screen long enough to read them completely. Another one of the extras is a short table read of the third film currently titled "We have a bad feeling about this" which is the spoof of Return of the Jedi and from what you see there you know that it's going to be funny as well.
There are a ton of running gags though out this show including the classic fall and knee grab skit and it's done by an AT-AT, oh yeah and baby AT-ATs. A lot more of the show's cast make appearances as well as some extra characters. There is just a lot of stuff going on and it's just so much fun to watch as both a fan of Family Guy and a big Star Wars geek. You definitely can't miss this.
