Family Guy - Something, Something, Something, Dark Side
I was excited to discover that the final episode of Family Guy Season 7 will be a 1hr long sequel to the Season 6 Star Wars episode Family Guy: Blue Harvest.
The episode will be titled Something, Something, Something, Dark Side.
Basically Something, Something, Something, Dark Side will be a parody of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
Awesome!
Origins
The title came from a cut-away scene in Family Guy’s season 5 episode, Barely Legal. When The Emperor discovered the formula for perfect Star Wars dialogue:
“Something, something, something dark side.
Something, something, something complete.”
Production
Season 7 of Family Guy will air in the US on the FOX Network on September 28, 2008. Something, Something, Something, Dark Side will be episodes 21 and 22. So, presumably Something, Something, Something, Dark Side will air 21 weeks later on Feb 22nd.
It’s rumoured that Something, Something, Something, Dark Side will air with little or no commercial interruption, presumably lasting a full hour. There has been speculation that Something, Something, Something, Dark Side may be released on DVD just before the TV premiere.
Family Guy and Star Wars
With Seth MacFarlane and many of the other Family Guy writers being Star Wars fans, I have always felt that a sequel to Family Guy: Blue Harvest was inevitable. In an interview with StarWars.com Family Guy Creator Seth MacFaralane said:
“The great thing about Lucasfilm is that they allow people like us to embrace that fandom and have some fun.
The only reason we were able to do ‘Family Guy: Blue Harvest’ is because we have so many writers who know the [Star Wars] films so well they can recite it from start to finish. It’s something that never really leaves people’s heads.”
Hopefully Something, Something, Something, Dark Side will also be officially endorsed by Lucasfilm; George Lucas is a huge fan of Family Guy.
Mort Goldman will appear in Something, Something, Something, Dark Side as Lando Calrissian, I’ve also heard that the Giant Chicken, Peter’s arch-nemesis, will appear as Boba-Fett.

Family Guy: Something, Something, Something, Dark Side
To be honest as a huge Family Guy fan and a huge Star Wars fan (whose favourite film is still Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back); I’m really excited about this!
What are your comments about Something, Something, Something, Dark Side?
categories: Family Guy, Sci-fi
Good news indeed! I have not seen the entire Blue Harvest, but have seen a good amount of it to know I like it. I guess they will eventually do a Return of the Jedi episode as well.
Fantastic, I always look forward to new Family Guy. And it was only natural that they would complete the trilogy!
No doubt we’ll see the season 8 finale as a brilliant parody of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi Ewoks and all.
I’d also recommend the Robot Chicken - Star Wars Special. Very funny!
New Family Guy is 2nd in my list of requirements only to oxygen. Sick of endless Family Guy repeats on BBC3. new season 7 will rule, season 6 was genius, so moody in places.
Something, something, something, dark side.
Something, something, something, complete.
Something, something, something, lmao!
Why just stop with Return of the Jedi. Complete the saga.
For Family Guy’s Return of the Jedi, I think Dr. Hartman should play Jabba the Hut, Greased up Deaf Guy should play the Ewoks, Bruce as The Emporer, and Tom Tucker as Yoda.
Ha ha, good idea!
But does he portray all of them, as a single, figurative Ewok?
Or do they all look like him like the Oompa-Lumpas in Chocolate Factory?
I dont know which is funnier, lol.
For ROTJ, they should get the Evil Monkey as the Emperor. He would have made a good Yoda, maybe, but that part is for the movie-loving store manager and Chris’ boss Carl.
I reckon in Something, Something, Something Dark Side that Peter’s Dad, Francis Griffin, should play the Emperor, and that in Bruce should play the yeti which captures Luke on Hoth.
Francis as the Emperor would be funny! The Yeti is called a Wampa.
Bruce who? What do you mean?
Bruce is the seemingly gay guy with the moustache who has a variety of roles, like greedo in blue harvest
I just called him ‘that gay guy’.
Yeah Bruce’d be funny as another minor-threat to be thwarted in Something, Something, Something Dark Side.
I think Francis would make a great Emperor, I think they might make Meg the taun taun that Han cut’s the stomach of and stick’s Luke in side, and the Wampa might be a good role for the Evil Monkey…. I mean, who would be a better beast to capture Chris than the Evil Monkey.
I was hoping Meg would be the wampa or emperor since she’s so ugly, i could see carter being the emperor tho, i can’t wait for the obi wan ghost scene, Mort would make good ewoks but he’s lando, either that or jasper then all the ewoks would look like a gay dog, evil monkey would be a great wampa since he has no lines, can’t wait for the giant chicken fett fight with han, i don’t think bruce will reappear until jedi
what the he!! - ST, ST, ST, D is NOW slated for SEASON 8 OPENER in SEPT. 2009????
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
It’s true tho
Something, Something, Something, Delayed!
