So Family Guy Star Wars Something Mumble
Family Guy is doing their third direct-to-DVD Star Wars parody, this one based on Return of the Jedi and titled, inevitably, It’s a Trap. The trailer’s been kicking around for a little bit, and I’ve been resisting because… well, I kind of hate Family Guy. However, I realize that’s my own personal thing, and maybe some of you guys love it. Maybe I’m letting you guys down by not showing the trailer, which, at the very least, made me chuckle once with the “special edition” gag. Maybe… but also maybe not. Let me know either way, so I’ll know for the future.
