Oh, boy, Family Guys Fans, have I got great news for you…and I just couldn’t wait til Monday to tell you all.  Remember back a few years ago when Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane and the team released the Star Wars spoof Blue Harvest?  Well, as spot on and hysertical as it was, after our sides stopped hurting, it left all us FG and SW fans wondering, “when will we see the spoof of episodes V and VI?”.  It seems that time has come to answer the first part of that last question.

The image above is the cover of the soon to be released DVD/Blu-Ray edition of the (what I bet will be legendary) Family Guy spoof entitled “Something, Something, Something Dark Side“.  In the success that was Blue Harvest, I don’t think they could have found better fits for the characters of Family Guy to play the beloved Star Wars characters.  That’s probably the one reason I believe Blue Harvest worked so damn well…that and the pull no punches style of humor that makes the show work.

For those of you who might not understand the title for this spoof, “Something, Something, Something Dark Side” came from a sequence in an episode of the show…so just like Blue Harvest (which was the was the fake working title used during the shoot for Return of the Jedi and the parody was done in honor of the the 30-year anniversary of Star Wars) everything MacFarlane (that comic genius that he is) does is for a reason. So after all my jabbering, I have two videos for this post.

So what do all of you at home think?  Anyone pretty really extremely excited for this??  I sure am!!…If you liked that you’re going to love that it will be available for purchase on December 22, 2009…and it will also air (for free) sometime in the Spring. I guess I know what I’m getting for Christmas:)
