** And it's also not the first time Green played someone who got into arguments with his father, either. Green also played Scott Evil from ''AustinPowers'', and anyone who has seen the first two movies will see that Scott and Dr. Evil do not have a good relationship.

* HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace: It looks like--- no, ''is'' the first [[TomBaker Fourth Doctor]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdVivT0ShC4 opening]] of ''Series/DoctorWho''.

* MoneyDearBoy: The opening of the third episode jokes that the creators only created the last episode because the first two made enough money that that they were forced into doing so.

* NoOSHACompliance: The alarming lack of railings on the platform next to the ''Death Star planet-buster'' is lampshaded.

* FridgeLogic: [[invoked]] Plenty of head scratching moments from the movies are pointed out.

* CreatorBreakdown: ''It's A Trap'' opens with the word crawl complaining they were sick of doing the Star Wars spoofs. The DVDCommentary makes it clear that no, it is ''not'' a joke.

* FridgeLogic: [[invoked]]. Plenty of head scratching moments from the movies are pointed out.

* IncestisRelative: The squicky implications of Leia's line that she "somehow always knew" Luke was her brother are discussed. She reveals that it's no big deal back on Alderaan, comparing it to the American deep south.

* {{Jossed}}: Fans swore some shots were made by {{Rotoscoping}} shots from the actual movies. The scenes were merely recreated really well.* LampshadeHanging

* AdaptationDistillation: Even with all the gags, the specials are surprisingly faithful to the original material. You could watch the specials instead of the original Trilogy and not lose any of the important plot details.

* ReferenceOverdosed: It's still ''FamilyGuy'', so this can't be left out.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: To the point where the guys are shocked when Mon Mothma appears ([[CastingGag done by a character]] voiced by CarrieFisher).

* AsHimself: RushLimbaugh doing a spoof of his show as if it was in the StarWars universe.

''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' was already ReferenceOverdosed, but many of those gags still required permission to use other intellectual property on a commercial work. Fortunately the people at Lucasfilm were nice enough to okay just about any reference to ''Franchise/StarWars'', so SethMacFarlane decided to take that UpToEleven, and recreate the whole original trilogy.
