Not to mention they lifted scene from the movie frame-by-frame. incredible detail.

Oh yes. The Millennium Falcon leaving Mos Eisley and the Death Star trench run stand out the most. They were absolutely breathtaking.

I'm inclined to say the Falcon scene was the most wow of the two.

Seth MacFarlane must be on really good terms with Lucasfilm...they don't let anyone near that precious property.

He's used the theme in a couple of episodes, this one's a clone of Episode IV, etc...

Not only Coach McGuirk, but The Evil Monkey, Bender (from Futurama) and Roger (from American Dad)!!!

I loved the attention to detail. Garindan was in practically every scene in the Cantina.

If you freeze frame it right after Quag-3PO exits the Sandcrawler, you see another cameo: Jake Tucker, the upside-down face kid as that octopus droid thingy.

And after thinking about it, Joe wasn't anywhere to be seen. A bit surprising in my opinion.

And who thinks the Chicken's gonna be Boba Fett in Empire?

Chicken will either be Boba, Jabba, or Lando. But Boba's probably the safe bet.

I could just see Meg getting stuck in these one-scene monster roles. that was a quick gag but had me and my friends rolling.

i loved it, but i think the song in the death star was a bit too much.

Wish that I didn't miss it when it aired.

Yes. Definitely. Although, I could've done well with a compromise. They could keep the song, but at half the length.

It went waaay too long and well past the "haha" point.

According to the Wookieepedia entry for this Episode, Joe was supposed to play the role of Biggs.

Wookieepedia wrote:The Griffin Family are stuck at home during a blackout. With no TV, Peter decides to entertain them by telling a story of his ancestors in Star Wars mode. Peter plays Han Solo, while Lois will appear as Princess Leia. Stewie will be Darth Vader, Brian will be Chewbacca, Chris will be Luke Skywalker, R2-D2 and C-3PO will be played by Cleveland and Quagmire and Herbert will be playing Obi-Wan Kenobi. Meg only has a minor role in this episode as a Dianoga. When asked by a fan at Celebration IV about the role of Joe Swanson, Tom Tucker, and Diane Simmons, Seth MacFarlane said that Joe would be Biggs, and Tom and Diane would be Imperial news agents covering the escape of Princess Leia. Many other characters will make minor appearances such as Peter's dad, Mickey McFinnigan.

The entry also mentions that if the episode is succesful, they could make ESB and ROTJ episodes as well.

I could see Mickey Finnigan as The Emperor.
