Family Guy: It's A Trap! (2010)

Seth MacFarlane admits in an even more rambling introductory crawl that, for Family Guy's third Star Wars spoof, the creative team was "out of gas. Heck, we let the interns write most of it. The FedEx guy even got in a joke and he calls the baby Steve" (instead of Stewie). Granted, it is true that Blue Harvest is Family Guy's first and most funny Star Wars parody, Something Something Dark Side is Family Guy's second and secondmost funny Star Wars parody, and It's A Trap! is Family Guy's third and thirdmost funny Star Wars parody. Even dumber than Peter's classic skinned-knee scene, the dumbest scene in It's A Trap! stretches on for several pointless minutes as characters nod knowingly back and forth to each other before they face being thrown into the Sarlacc pit. Family Guy inside jokes don't serve the script well either: Darth Vader (Stewie, voiced by Seth MacFarlane) taunts Luke (Chris, voiced by Seth Green) about Seth Green's lack of acting chops and, in the closing moments of the show, the Griffin family led by Stewie and Chris launch into a critique of Seth MacFarlane versus Seth Green. Yet while the humor of each episode might be on a relaxed downward trend, the fun of watching each episode from first to last remains on an upward trend as the faithful and excellent animation only gets better. Family Guy's Star Wars trilogy amounts to the most sustained, coherent, faithful, and funny Star Wars spoof yet. See it for the first time and later watch it again! 4 stars.
