    Family Guy Empire Strikes Back

    Rented this last night, it's a little weaker than the Star Wars IMO and they seem more obsessed with swearing but it still has some inspired moments.

    My personal faves are the Vader/Emperor scene and the Carbonite bit, especially Han's reply to "I love you".

    CAN'T WAIT to see it..!! I heard it's not quite as good as 'Blue Harvest' from a few folks, but I'm still checking the PX here on base for it every day..

    It should get overseas here within a week or two. I decided not to pre-order, and just buy it when it came out here.

              If it's even half as good as Blue Harvest, I'm in.

                In my opinion, they could have used a few better characters in the Yoda, and Lando roles

                    It's a tad better than half. I finally found/bought it yesterday. I LOVED the effects scenes, very, very well done, superb animation.

                    I actually didn't like the cursing (the F word dropped 3 times..). Now I'm not a big prude, but it sort of killed it for me.

                    Darth with the maid were good for laughs..

                    Some of the jokes were kinda 'phoned in' (didn't take much effort..), some more originality could have been brought in, the impromptu 'Juicy Fruit commercial' was good. But with nearly the same intro (not as funny..) and the same ending (banter about 'Robot Chicken' between Chris and Peter again..), it could have tried something funnier. George Takei's cameo was a nice touch.

                          Oh, wow.. Didn't know that.

                          HEY, who here knows exactly where the easter eggs are on the DVD..??

                          I tried Googling 'em, but the listing I could get to didn't say anything.

                          Please help a brother out here.

                          Blessings everyone ~

                              I'm hoping that at least in the 3rd one (The Jedi spoof) we'll get a Han Solo/Boba Fett long drawn out battle
