The intestinal worm gag was hilarious. As was the skinned knee at-at.

It's hit or miss with the jokes - but that's true of most Family Guy episodes. I actually found the last minute

where Peter makes fun of Seth Green's work
gave me the biggest laugh.

Yeah, and it's kind of sad that the show's biggest laugh is a regurgitation of a joke from FG's previous Star Wars show.

I rather enjoyed "Blue Harvest," but I agree: This was lackluster. Kept waiting for good spoofed material in the asteroid field, but they really just copied the original shot for shot. I did laugh at the AT-AT gag-- the intestinal worm one-- but for the most part, this just wasn't that funny.

And what the hell was that Yoda supposed to be?

The Yoda parts were the most wasted in the episode.

After seeing how good FG looked on BD, hopefully Blue Harvest is going to eventually come to BD.

Chris' boss from when he was working at that mini-mart.

I liked Blue Harvest, but this was pretty bad. I laughed at some parts, but all the real funny stuff was in the trailer. Not worth buying or even renting really.

It was funny, but I think they realized they didn't have as much to go on this time around, so that must be why they didn't bother with a special box like Blue Harvest...at least where the SD is concerned.

Best Buy exclusive Blu-ray release has a Thermostm lunchbox with T-shirt featuring "Boba Fett."

I got mine for Christmas. And it came in an eco-box case. Not to happy about that...but what can you do.
Other than that, I'm happy with the lunchbox. The t-shirt is too big so I'll just leave it in the plastic. I'll be watching it tonight!!!

What's the deal with the eco-cases? I know they say it's supposed to help the environment and all but it looks like the discs are gonna end up with scratches.

Some parts had me laughing. "Luke, if that's you, wave your right hand..." "IT'S ME YOU F******!!"

It's been discussed elsewhere, but it's basically a studio excuse to save a few nickels on box production. If you ask the studios directly, they'll give you the "well, everyone throws out their boxes anyway" line...which of course, couldn't be further from the truth.

I loved it and thought it was much funnier than Blue Harvest. I'm going to have to buy a copy for myself. Sucks about the envirocases, but I guess that is the future. I'm probably just going to bite the bullet and buy a bunch of BD cases so I can chunk all these environment friendly ones in the landfill.

One of the parts where I laughed most was when the Wampa attacked Luke - "COOOOKIE!"

I thought it was funny. Not as good as the first one, but typical Family Guy fare with jokes that either fall flat or are exceptional. Most of the good laughs came from the pointing out of obvious plot holes in the original, such as:

-Tons of electrical wires running over ice

-Evacuating hoth with infinite space in all directions but flying right into the fleet.

I liked that and when Dak, or whatever his name was, said he felt like he could take on the Empire by himself.

It was clearly done to save costs on both plastic use and reduce shipping weight. As an added benefit for the studios, it reduces resale value on the secondary market if the artwork gets damaged, which will happen in large numbers as these become commonplace. One of the worst penny-pinching tactics we have seen yet for packaged media.

I've noticed the re-cycle cases on Wii and 360 games as well.

Given her track record, I am guessing
Spoiler:
Meg will either be the Rancor, Sarlacc, or maybe Jabba in the next one.
