Something, Something, Something, Dark Side (Family Guy)


The second part where Family Guy parodies The Empire Strikes Back.  This one is better than the original.  The humor was much more well done, with way more hits than misses.  There were a few good laughs along the way that just came out of the blue, which made it much more enjoyable.  There were a few scenes where they dragged it out much longer than it was necessary.  It feels that they wanted to drag out the running time while trying to mask it as humor but it didn't really mesh well.  Once again, the storyline is very faithful to the movie, but much more fast paced and relying on the fact that viewers are familiar with the source material (since it leaves out so many plot elements).  Being nearly one hour long, it was the perfect length, not too short such that it doesn't fully flesh out the story enough and not too long to overstay it's welcome.
