---> '''Stewie/Vader:''' [[LampshadeHanging Where is that casual acting shuttle headed?]]

-->'''Brian''': Heh. Let's hope, right?\\
'''Peter, Lois, and Quagmire''': [[EveryoneHasStandards Woah!]]

-->'''Blue Harvest''': A long time ago, but somehow in the future...\\
'''Something, Something, Something, Dark Side''': A long time ago, when the gays weren't all in your face about it...\\
'''It's a Trap!''': A long time ago, after ''{{Series/MASH}}'' but before ''{{Series/AfterMASH}}''...

--> '''Stewie/Vader''': ''(ominously)'' The Force is with you, young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet... ''(upbeat)'' You're gettin' there! You're gettin' there, though!

-->'''Peter/Han''': Look, we got four or five of the main characters on this ship. I think we'll be fine.

--->'''Tom Tucker''': What's the weather like, Ollie?\\
'''Ollie''': SPACE WEATHER!\\
'''Tom Tucker''': Thanks, Ollie.

--->'''Stewie''': ''(annoyed)'' We're about to do ''Jedi'', aren't we?\\
'''Peter''': ''(wearily)'' Let's just get through this.

* UnusualEuphemism: "Save Yub Nub [[note]] the (unofficial) name of the Ewok celebration music at the end of Jedi... pre-Special Edition, anyway.[[/note]] for me. Come to think of it, you can also shave your yub nub for me."

--->'''Peter:''' Did they braid your hair?\\

'''Peter, Lois, and Quagmire''': [[EveryoneHasStandards WOAH!]]

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

* ButHeSoundsHandsome: At the conclusion of "It's a Trap!" Chris, Meg, and Lois all rip on Creator/SethMacFarlane after the myriad jokes he'd made about Creator/SethGreen during the episode - at which point [[TalkingToHimself Peter, Stewie, and Brian all stick up for Seth]], with Brian even employing this specific trope.

Thus the episode "Blue Harvest"[[note]]Named for the fake title for ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' to get around locations overcharging them to shoot there.[[/note]] recreated ''Film/ANewHope'', and was a commercial and critical success. Then came "Something Something Something Dark Side"[[note]]Based off a CutawayGag from the show.[[/note]] recreating ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', and finally "It's a Trap!"[[note]]Based off of Admiral Ackbar's MemeticMutation line, although it was formerly going to be titled "I Got a Bad Feeling About This" which was based on the RunningGag a Star Wars character would say in a dangerous situation[[/note]] recreating ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. Any other films are up in the air. It was joked that the since-cancelled ''[[WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow Cleveland Show]]'' could do the prequels (but they did a parody of ''Film/DieHard'' instead).[[note]]''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' did ''Film/JamesBond'', incidentally. (Albeit with original storylines, as opposed to directly spoofing any particular film.)[[/note]]

** The ''Jedi'' special makes Green into a ButtMonkey, which acts as Chris/Luke's BerserkButton. After the story, Chris asks Peter what he has against Green, and makes some comments about [=MacFarlane's=] talent instead; [[TalkingToHimself Brian, Stewie, and Peter]] all defend [=MacFarlane=], and Meg (Creator/MilaKunis), Lois (Alex Borstein), and Chris (Green) all say he's a dick.

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

* UniversalAdaptorCast: The story of ''Star Wars'' is retold with the characters of ''Family Guy'' filling in for all of the main lpayers.

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

* MotivationalLie: Subverted in ''Something, Something Dark Side''. One Imperial soldiers asks what the rebels did that was so bad anyway, and Stewie claims that the rebels killed the dog of another crew member. It seems like an obvious lie, but later on Peter and Brian celebrate [[BlackComedy that time they killed that dog]].

'''Han/Peter:''' [[NeverTellMeTheOdds Never tell me the o...]] well, that's not bad.

* ArmorIsUseless: The Stormtroopers in "It's A Trap!" complain about how worthless their armor is, since it can't even repel the Ewoks' attacks, which consist mainly of stone-age spears and arrows.
* BetterThanABareBulb: The cast frequently [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the aspects of the ''Star Wars'' franchise.

* 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, "the Mississippi of the galaxy."

* 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.

* AffectionateParody: Of ''Star Wars''. (Although it gets less affectionate by the time they get to ''Jedi''.)

** When Jabba is about to shove Luke into the Sarlacc pit (played by Meg), his Huttese is clearly "Miiiilllllllaaaa Kuuunisssssss"

* AffectionateParody: Of ''Star Wars''.

* ParodyAssistance: Creator/GeorgeLucas helped production, as [[http://www.starwars.com/community/news/rocks/f20070921/index.html he's a fan]] (and stated ''Family Guy'' and ''{{Jackass}}'' are the only TV shows he regularly watches).

* AdamWesting: Creator/RushLimbaugh doing a spoof of his show as if it was in the Franchise/StarWars universe.

** Surprisingly Adam West doesn't do this.

--> "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. [[{{Sequelitis}} 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."
