"Something, Something, Something Dark Side" is an upcoming episode of the FOX animated series Family Guy and the sequel episode to the Star Wars episode "Blue Harvest," which lasted twice as long as a normal episode (46 minutes, one hour with commercials). It will retell the story of The Empire Strikes Back as "Blue Harvest" did with A New Hope, recasting characters from Family Guy into roles from the film. This episode will last roughly 45 minutes as well.
Upon release of the Blue Harvest DVD, fans were treated with an easter egg of a brief read through of bits from "Something, Something, Something Dark Side," as well a teaser trailer for the episode as another easter egg. From what can be heard from the reading, Chris, Peter and Lois will be reprising their roles as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia respectively, thus making it very likely that the other characters will be doing so as well (i.e., Stewie as Darth Vader, Brian as Chewbacca, etc.). As for new characters, it has been officially confirmed in a news article that the role of Boba Fett will be filled by the Giant Chicken, Peter's arch-nemesis.[1] A sketch of Fett's character model can be very briefly seen within the last two seconds of the trailer, further supporting the confirmation. Also, Seth Green reportedly let slip in an interview that the role of Lando Calrissian will be filled by Ollie Williams despite the fact that Ollie already appeared as himself in a DVD-exclusive scene in "Blue Harvest."[citation needed]
One line that Leia says to Luke during the reading ("I don't know what it is, but when I kiss you, it's like kissing my brother," which is a quote from Back to the Future) was originally pitched by Seth MacFarlane during the DVD commentary of Blue Harvest.
The title of this episode is a reference to a specific line from the season five episode "Barely Legal [2] ," which was used in a cutaway relating to Star Wars. The line is an inside joke relating to the Emperor working out the formula for great dialogue for Star Wars (as long as he reuses the phrases "dark side" and "complete" in his lines, they would be considered gold). The line can be heard in the trailer, and the clip itself can be fully seen at the end of the "Family Guy Star Wars Clip Show" featurette on the DVD.
