Wendy Boswell — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 07:24:21 +0000

There’s a great interview with Kirker Butler, one of the writers responsible for the Family Guy Empire Strikes Back parody, over at GalacticBinder. You can read it here: Kirker Butler Interview. Here’s some information about who and what we’ll be seeing in this parody:

Lando will be played by Mort Goldman.
Tom and Diane survived the attack on the Death Star and are now working happily for Channel 5, Cloud City.
Ernie the Giant Chicken will play Boba Fett, and the Slave 1 will actually have chicken wings.
Chewie/Brian traded the couch for a handful of psychedelic mushrooms in the Mos Eisley cantina.
Carrie Fisher might be making a cameo.
This episode is tentatively scheduled to air Spring 2009, but there is a chance it might show up on DVD first.

You can read the rest of the interview here, and just for the heck of it, here’s a clip from Blue Harvest!

Wendy Boswell — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 19:55:08 +0000

Great news for all of us who loved the Family Guy parody of Star Wars: the script for “Empire Strikes Back” is officially finished. Here’s more:

While celebrating at the Family Guy 100th Episode party, IESB’s Robert Sanchez spoke to voice actor Mila Kunis who plays Meg in the show. Kunis divulged that the cast has in fact done a table read for the Empire Strikes Back episode of Family Guy and that it’s definitely moving forward, script is done.

Sanchez caught up with Family Guy guru Seth MacFarlane to confirm. He says they have done the table read and they are absolutely doing Empire.

Who do you think should play Boba Fett? Jabba the Hutt?

Well, THIS is cool. You can now buy your very own Blue Harvest animation cell to hang up in your home from the official Star Wars Shop. Here’s a few on my personal wish list:

“This unique layout drawing, which depicts Herbert as Obi-Wan in a classic moment from the show measures 11″x13″ and includes a numbered 20th Century Fox gold foil seal. Also included is a Fox-issued certificate of authenticity.”

“This unique layout drawing, which depicts Herbert (Obi-Wan), Quagmire (C-3PO), and Peter (Han) measures 11″x13″ and includes a numbered 20th Century Fox gold foil seal. Also included is a Fox-issued certificate of authenticity.”

Seriously cool. Well, now that we’re in the Family Guy Star Wars mood, let’s watch it, shall we?
