I was excited to read over at CompuCorGP that George Lucas had given his blessing to a full blown hour long Star Wars spoofing episode of Family Guy. If you’ve watched the FG show you’ll undoubtedly seen all the Star Wars references tucked into episodes from time to time.

The episode was intended to sync up with the 30th anniversary of Star Wars (along with those Star Wars stamps which I nearly bought today). So what do Peter and the gang do when they lose power? Same thing as the rest of America, they play out the Star Wars saga. CompuCorGP has all the role details:

Peter will play the role of Han Solo, while Lois will strut her stuff as Princess Leia. And of course there is nobody as evil as Stewie so he was a complete shoe-in for Darth Vader. Chris will be Luke. No word yet on Meg, but in the true FG tradition she’ll be tossed in there for good sport. Brian will act out Chewbacca and R2-D2 will be handled by Cleveland, with Quagmire as C-3PO. Obi-Wan Kenobi gets the Herbert treatment.

Here’s a FG video clip from one of their many Star Wars spoofs:
