Family Guy Strikes Back with Darkside DVD

Email Archives
August 21, 2009

A long time ago, in a Cineplex not too far away, one of the greatest movies was unleashed upon the universe. It's a dark time for the rebellion but the future has never been brighter for Family Guy and Star Wars fans when Family Guy: Something, Something, Something, Darkside arrives exclusively on two-disc Blu-ray (BD) with Digital Copy and DVD December 22 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

The second DVD premiere feature from the creators of Family Guy after 2005's enormously popular Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, and a follow-up to the 2008 Star Wars spoof Blue Harvest, this time around the Griffin clan packs lightsaber sharp wit as they parody the classic sequel The Empire Strikes Back.

Luke (Chris), Leia (Lois), Han Solo (Peter) and Chewbacca (Brian) have evaded the dreaded Imperial Starfleet led by the cunning, conniving and curiously short evil lord Darth Vader (Stewie), setting up a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth. With the rebellion in trouble, young Skywalker must take the advice of his late, and rather lascivious, mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Herbert) and learn the ways of the "farce" under Jedi Master Yoda (Carl) to save the galaxy once and for all.

Meanwhile Princess Leia (Lois) finds herself taking a shine to the scruffy pilot Han Solo (Peter) and, against all odds, the two soon fall in love. But an encounter with Han's old friend Lando Calrissian (Mort) lands them in the clutches of the Empire. Envisioning this, Luke chooses to forgo his Jedi training to save his friends. It all comes to a head in a climactic confrontation with Darth Vader himself. Family Guy proves that even in the far reaches of space, the dark side can be much lighter!

The BD and DVD features bonus materials smoother than a Colt 45 including commentary with deleted scenes, making-of featurettes, animatics and a pop-up video feature.
