Family Guy has, over the years, become smarter and it's strength has been in referencing the familiar and being ironic and satirical without being too smug. This particular episode shows the show losing it's way. The jokes seem lazy, the majority of the cultural references wouldn't be understood if you were either non-American or under 30, but there is one main problem: the writers seem to think comedy lies in just copying things with Family Guy characters and expecting it to be funny without actually adding a comedy element. Purely copying something is not in itself funny. This episode just feels like a lost opportunity, which is summed up by the fact that the chicken plays Boba Fett, Peter plays Han Solo, and there's no chicken fight?! Who cares if it wasn't in the original film, it's what we expected, what we wanted, and didn't get. A shame.
