Family Guy Star Wars 10 Minute Preview
quote: Originally posted by ComingSoon.Net
Fox's animated hit "Family Guy" will kick off its fifth season this September with an hour long episode that retells the "Star Wars" saga using "Family Guy" characters.
Variety says Lucasfilm has blessed the event, which will have the Griffin family acting out all the key scenes and narrative from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane is a major "Star Wars" fan and was personally involved in getting Lucasfilm on board.
Not surprisingly, family patriarch Peter Griffin will play the role of Han Solo, while mom Lois will appear as Princess Leia. Evil baby Stewie will be Darth Vader, natch.
Brian the family dog will serve as Chewbacca, while son Chris is Luke. Robots R2-D2 and C-3PO will be handled by Cleveland and Quagmire, respectively, while creepy old guy Herbert gets the Obi- Wan character.
The plot of the episode has the Griffin family stuck at home during a blackout. With no TV to entertain them, Peter decides to tell a story --- leading to the "Star Wars" flashback.
When I was at Celebration IV, Seth MacFarlane was there to talk about the episode and he surprised us all with a 10 minute preview of it. We were told not to have cameras, but of course people did and because of them you now get to see the 10 minute preview that I saw. However, this video is missing the opening scroll, which is equally hilarious to the rest of the clip. Enjoy.

You know, one of the problems I've had with Family Guy recently is their increasing reliance on so-called "manatee gags", and this looks like a nice return to form. Bravo.

True, manners just try to make people feel better, which isn't very useful.
