Despite the opening crawl's warning to lower one's expectations, this was pretty entertaining from start to finish. There's still some of the lazy humor and manatee gags that Family Guy is known for that bring things down a bit, and there's definitely some filler in there too, but there's also a lot of clever commentary at the lumpier parts of Return of the Jedi and some fun "mundane juxtaposed with the spectacular" humor that works well. The jabs at Seth Green (with returned fire at Seth MacFarlane) were a bit easy but still amusing, and while the parody falters a bit in the same places Jedi does, there's a lot of care in the homage and affection in the parody that helps the episode hum along amiably.
