At one point during our fifth season, FOX 's legal department suggested that, as a result of our numerous Star Wars gags in past episodes (and so many new ones on the horizon), it might be wise to contact someone at Lucasfilm and make sure they were okay with our many parodies and tributes. Well, not only were they okay with them, but through these conversations a new idea developed: to produce an entire Star Wars-themed Family Guy episode. After many months of writing, recording, and drawing, we screened the first rough cut of this episode, entitled "Blue Harvest," and we quickly realized there was too much funny material to cut it down to a half-hour. -;-:>~it So, we decided to make It an hour-long special: a first for Family Guy. Then, after many more months of work, and as we neared completion -=- of the episode, FOX suggested that the episode might be a great DVD release. Throughout the entire process, Lucasfilm could not have been a more supportive and generous partner. From allowing us to adapt George Lucas's characters Into dog-Wookiees, overweight Irish space smugglers and infantile Sith lords, to granting us access to the film's original score, to inviting a few of us to stay at Skywalker Ranch, they have been ideal collaborators. I'd especially like to thank Christopher Holm of Lucasfilm for his legal expertise - and a certain guy named George for participating in the interview you will find in this DVD's special features. (And, oh yeah, while we're at it, we'll thank him for creating the entire world of Star Wars and making all of our childhoods just a little more awesome.) I'd also like to acknowledge Dominic Polcino and the many artists and animators who contributed to this episode's extraordinarily cinematic look. And finally, I'd like to thank Alec Sulkin and the writers of Family Guy for being such enormous dorks. Enjoy. And may the Force ... well, you know. c/ll"lfG'~ L.v~e; D~\J~ c.-'3 P<>j (I 0 1'11 - wArJ/ 1-fiJ,.J SoLey' f1tw 8A<'v U; /11/ t<.'2. - l>y· 'P~INCC1 S QC Ywfrl-.r:-t;o/ s.-re- ""• E &u4'\~t"ll!~ 'if2. tl>,rJ Ht:IZ.GC-=7 pe-rc R t,...liS CH~IS ' L..f'VE. tJI t-l() . • Original Character Line-up Domiuic Polciuo & Mick Cassidy • Storyboard Thumbnails Dmuinic PolcitlO • Exterior Lars Homestead Kip Noschese @re·-·· .. f 1:::E::J -· ~ - !• \0 ~ ~ ~ ~~ ........· -*<!?
