I wouldn't have asked this before, but considering the page length, it would be a good way to clear off some of the tropes.

So do you think it would work, and if so, what to call it?

For the name, we should probably keep it simple like Family Guy Star Wars unless someone has a better idea.

Well I would like to go with Blue Harvest, after the first episode, due to what it's based on.

EDIT: Nevermind. Forgot I made that a redirect. Yeah, Family Guy Star Wars.

Or alternatively, Family Guy Blue Harvest. Or maybe the redirect to Return Of The Jedi could be removed, if that is possible?

Perhaps we should make a crowner on the name, if enough of us first agree to split.

Yeah, I agree to split. It has a great number of tropes that will be there only due to being a Star Wars parody as well as excluding specific common Family Guy tropes (I think Blue Harvest only had one Manatee Gag in a deleted scene and all the character relationships are different) plus it gets sold and packaged easily as a separate work.

Put it under Family Guy Blue Harvest / Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest because I believe that it what it says on the boxes.

1. Nice to know I have support so far.

2. I definitely think we'll need a crowner for the name.

I think a soft split on the page would be the best way to go. Yeah, they should be moved out of the main tropes list, but I don't think they are significantly different to justify a new page. A regular tropes section and a Star Wars Spoofs Tropes list section below it is would be all it needs. Just remember to folderise the two sections.

I don't like soft splits that because it often causes screw ups for people that don't realize there are two sections, or do realize but have trouble making them out in the raw text.

Then again, if some prefer it, I could learn to deal with it. Should we first make a crowner of whether to soft split or hard split?

EDIT: I should add part of the reason I proposed a hard split was to clear off some page length, and a soft split would still leave that unresolved.

Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest seems to be the official name.

Well I find official names are best. But is that for the whole saga, or is the trilogy called Family Guy Presents Star Wars?

They never officially use the name Star Wars anywhere.

And to further confuse things, the trilogy set is called "Laugh It Up Fuzzball"

Well whatever is used, it's going to have a hell of a lot of redirects.

Blue Harvest and Something Something Something Dark Side, and Its A Trap are the three. Laugh It Up Fuzzball is the collective name.

So would it make sense to go with the latter?

I think it would with all the episode names as redirects.

It's been just a couple days, but do you think it's clear enough to call?

The size of the page is the major reason for that The Family Guy page is huge.

So let's compile names. I actually like just plain Family Guy Star Wars, even though that's not the official name.

Family Guy Presents Laugh It Up Fuzzball seems to be the official name, though I'm not completely sure (if it is, we go with that).

Family Guy Presents: Laugh It Up Fuzzball is probably the best bet. With redirects to Family Guy Star Wars and each of the three movies.
