* DisneyDeath: Despite JohnWilliams being killed in Blue Harvest, he appears again in It's A Trap.

--> "Luke Skywalker has returned to his home planet of Tatooine in order to— okay, you know what, we don’t care. We were thinking of not even doing this one. Fox made us do it. When we did ''Blue Harvest'', they said, "Oh, you guys are crazy." They tried to talk us out of it, and it ended up making a ton of money. By then we were just finishing ''Empire'', and we were absolutely exhausted. But Fox suddenly had dollar signs in their eyes, and they said, "Seth, if you don't do ''Jedi'', we're not gonna let you leave to go direct [[Film/{{Ted}} your movie]]." I'm sorry. I took a muscle relaxer earlier and it's kicking in. I'm just so stressed because there's been a car parked in front of my house for three straight days and there's a pillow in the back seat. And I've never seen anyone get in or out of it, but it moves a couple feet one way or the other each day. Wouldn't it be funny if it was a bunch of raccoons living in there, moving it? You know, with their little paws on the steering wheel? And then another one working the brake and the gas? And the steering wheel raccoon and the pedal raccoon have to talk back and forth to each other 'cause the brake pedal guy can't see the road? I'm gonna keep thinking that, 'cause I know really it's probably a car bum. Look, just do me a huge favor and lower your expectations, okay? Just this one time. I promise I'll make it up to you. I mean, ''Star Wars'', fine. ''Empire'' —still not bad. But on this one we ran out of gas. Seriously, we let the assistant write it. Hell, even the Fed Ex guy got a joke in, and he calls the baby "Steve." Anyway, here's ''Return of the Jedi'' starring Steve as Darth Vader."

* ActingUnnatural: In the first episode Peter-as-Han cautions Chris-as-Luke to "play it cool" when they're sneaking off to rescue Lois-as-Leia. This apparently entails [[TheBluesBrothers slouching along jazzily to the strains of Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher"]].

''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' was already ReferenceOverdosed, so SethMacFarlane decided to take that UpToEleven, and recreate the whole original ''Franchise/StarWars'' trilogy.

* DatedHistory: The DVD release of ''It's a Trap'' features a throwaway gag of OsamaBinLaden popping up in the middle of the Tatooine desert to announce "Still alive!" Less than three weeks before the television premiere, this [[HilariousInHindsight ceased to be so]]. The sequence was edited out of the televised version.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Need proof that Cleveland's voiced by a white guy? Look no further than R2's pronunciation of [[TupacShakur "2-pack"]]'s name in ''Blue Harvest''.

-->''Brian'': Heh. Good thing, right?
-->''Peter, Lois, and Quagmire'': Woah!

* James Woods as General Veers

* ButIDigress: The opening scroll for "It's a Trap" goes into an unrelated rant instead of talking about the plot: "Luke Skywalker has returned to his home planet of Tatooine in order to— okay, you know what, we don’t care.
