It’s going to be a great holiday season for fans of Family Guy and Star Wars fans when Family Guy: Something, Something, Something, Darkside comes to Blu-ray and DVD on December 22, 2009. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is launching the second DVD premiere feature from the creators of Family Guy after 2005’s enormously popular Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story.
The new feature is 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) evade 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 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.
To promote the upcoming DVD, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has made available the following special trailer:
