Family Guy Strikes Back!

Post by Mikey »

Well, Family Guy's take on TESB has aired. Anyone else see it yet? It is, IMHO, a perfect example of how to combine pointed parody and homage, along with fourth-wall performance and some general non-sequitur silliness.
Yoda/Carl: "Don't go in the cave - it's confusing and stops the movie."
Yoda/Carl: "No, Luke! Only an experienced Jedi can face Vader."
Luke/Chris: "Why don't you go fight him, then?"
Yoda/Carl: "... Yeah, why don't you go ahead."
Chewie/Brian (to Lando/Mort): "Why are you suddenly wearing Han's clothes?"
(to audience): "Really, weatch the movie - when Lando pilots the Falcon, he's wearing Han's clothes!"

It was good, I got a real kick out of it and Brian's right, he is wearing Han's clothes. Kinda freaky.

I dunno, but it's really freaking creepy now that I've noticed it.

I actually have. I acknowledge it happens, and it is never explained, but I simply chose not to dwell on it. Everything is much better that way. :)

Or they were actually Lando's clothes, which he lost along with the MF in that ill-fated, rarely mentioned Sabacc game, and he felt nostalgic when he stepped in the MF, and put his old clothes back on... :laughroll:

Yeah, I know that sort of "thing." Excuse me a moment.

I wanted to be sure, so I watched the end of TESB last night, and while his clothes do look like Han's, the shirt has a pointed collar, while Han wears one with a different type of collar.

See here:
Lando

Han

They look a lot alike, but there does seem to be a slight difference...
Notice how even the vest seems to fall differently on their shoulders.
Maybe they both wear their own versions of the Smuggler's uniform, per the Smuggler's Dress Code...

#1 - Han's shirt would fall like Lando's if fastened at the throat... like Lando's. #2 - That pic of Han looks like ANH Han, not TESB Han.

Well, not the shirt in the picture I linked to (look at the shape of the points from the collar) in ANH, but you're right about Han's shirt in TESB:

Well, to be fair Landon DID flee from Bespin with literally only the clothes on his back.
