Family Guy Returns With Jedi

   On Saturday, Seth MacFarlane made his presence known at Comic-Con with two back to back panels for Family Guy and The Cleveland Show. After the past few years of attending MacFarlane's panels we knew about what to expect: vulgar humor which would have thousands of people laughing uncontrollably. And this year didn't disappoint.

Knowing the fervor of the crowd to see clips from the show, MacFarlane decided to surprise the audience by beginning the Family Guy dvd  panel with a lengthy highlight reel for the upcoming Family Guy Star Wars special "It's A Trap." Parodying Return of the Jedi, this special would continue of the tradition of "Blue Harvest" and "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" by doing a scene by scene parody of the film with all the humor you would expect from the show. While they did comment that it would be the last Star Wars (or any other movie for that matter) parody, they assured us that "It's A Trap" would be worth it when it arrives on December 21st.

 The clip started out with the Family Guy sitting in front of the television like the previous two specials, and upon the lights going out again Stewie glibly states, "We're doing Jedi aren't we?" From there we are given the Star Wars crawl, this time with self deprecating comedy, geared towards being forced to yet another special, and the difficulty of creating these episodes. The rest of trailer consisted of short snippets of scenes from the episode, including: a guest appearance by American Dad's Roger (the alien) as an Imperial officer greeting Vader to the new Death Star, Jabba's palace being guarded by Consuela, Alec Baldwin as Jabba the Hutt, the Sarlacc monster being played by Meg, Carrie Fisher voicing Mon Mothma, another American Dad dvd guest appearance, this time by Klaus as Admiral Ackbar, and the ewoks fighting off the Empire – the ewoks all look like the bears from The Cleveland Show. The footage for "It's A Trap" was kept to nine minutes, and what was shown was very funny.
