   Great Blu-Ray Transfers except for the DVD-quality Disc 1, December 22, 2010

   First, the bad news… if you are buying this whole TRILOGY package instead of just the newest parody titled “It’s a Trap” so you can include the first Star Wars parody in Blu-Ray format, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

   I really wanted to see SOME KIND OF picture quality improvement like the 2 newer parodies on Blu-Ray. After viewing disc 1, I just have to assume it was a primitive “upconvert” to the Blu-Ray format. There was NO improvement in the sharpness of the drawn lines, colors are standard-def bland, and stair-stepping is evident in the resolution. Of course, disc 1 is still full screen as expected, so “Family Guy: Blue Harvest” gains absolutely nothing on Blu-Ray over the previous DVD version.

   Now, the other two discs are very good on Blu-Ray with sharp lines and colors that really pop! Nice transfer, and the Blu-Ray difference in quality is striking even for animated content without complex textures.

   All 3 discs are entertaining parodies of the original Star Wars trilogy, but like the TV show I’m sure they will offend some people some of the time. You probably knew that already ; )

   In summary, if you already own the first two, go ahead and buy “It’s a Trap” on Blu-Ray or DVD to complete your library. New good laughs, even if not as fresh as the first two. If you don’t have the both the first and second films, it might be cheaper to go ahead and buy this TRILOGY package instead!

   Better than expected!!! Includes Digital Copy and past bonus features, December 23, 2010

   Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

   This review is from: Laugh It Up Fuzzball: The Family Guy Trilogy (It’s A Trap / Something Something Something Dark Side / Blue Harvest) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

   I had already owned the first two movies on DVD. But when i saw this set for only 22.99 here on Amazon on Blu Ray, I thought that the deal was too good too pass up. Based on the Amazon description, I wasn’t expecting much. Just the BDs and the Bonus features listed which were for the new film. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised when i got this today! Every film includes a digital copy, something not listed by Amazon in the description. In addition, it looks like all the bonus features from the past releases are still there, something that was also not listed by Amazon when I purchased. All this, 3 great BD titles plus digital copies plus tons of bonus stuff….. all for under 8 dollars per title. Can’t beat that. Here is a full rundown of the bonus features listed for each title:

   Blue Harvest:

   *Audio Commentary from Seth Macfarlane and director, producers, writers, and editors
   *A Conversation with George Lucas
   *The Making Of Blue Harvest
   *Animatic Version of Blue Harvest
   *Family Guy Star Wars Clip Show( my favorite bonus feature from the past releases)
   *Uncensored audio track

   Something Something Something Darkside:

   *Audio Commentary
   *Fact Up Version of the feature( kinda like those old VH1 pop-up videos, with fun facts popping up throughout the movie)
   *Poster Art Featurette
   *Sneak Peak at the next feature with Table read

   It’s a Trap!

   *Audio Commentary
   *A very Special message from Dart Stewie
   *Star Wars Trivial Pursuit: The ultimate Challenge
   *Drawing with Peter Shin
   *Sock Puppet Outtakes
   *Animatic
   *Making The Scene featurette

   That oughta keep you busy for a while, eh? And then there is the feature itself. Well, I’m not gonna review that in depth, simply because I think since this hasn’t been broadcast yet, many people who buy this will be seeing it for the first time and I don’t want to give anything away. But I will say I thought it was just as good as the first two. Really enjoyable. Family Guy fans will not be disappointed with this set. It is a little sad to see it end, since from what i understand there are no plans for making Episode I, II, and III parodies. Hopefully they do something similar, maybe with Back to the Future or Indian Jones, two franchises they are constantly referencing. Can’t you just picture Peter and Francis tied up to the chair in The Last Crusade!

   EDIT: The It’s A Trap Digital Copy Disc also features a DVD of the movie. I did not notice it at first.
