Line 41:
* [[Actor Allusion]]: At the end of the first episode, Peter and Chris discuss the ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' [[Star Wars]] parodies; Peter dismisses ''[[Robot Chicken]]'', while Chris defends it. Chris is voiced by [[Seth Green]], creator of ''[[Robot Chicken]]''.
** And it's also not the first time Green played someone who got into arguments with his father, either. Green also played Scott Evil from ''[[Austin Powers]]'', and anyone who has seen the first two movies will see that Scott and Dr. Evil do not have a good relationship.
** The ''Jedi'' special makes Green into a [[Butt Monkey]], which acts as Chris/Luke's [[Berserk Button]]. After the story, Chris asks Peter what he has against Green, and makes some comments about MacFarlane's talent instead; Brian, Stewie, and Peter all defend MacFarlane, and Meg ([[Mila Kunis]]), Lois (Alex Borstein), and Chris (Green) all say he's a dick.
** Peter also mentions ''Without A Paddle'' which Seth Green starred in.
** When Jabba is about to shove Luke into the Sarlacc pit (played by Meg), his Huttese is clearly "Miiiilllllllaaaa Kuuunisssssss"
Line 55:
** As do [[Futurama|Bender]], [[American Dad|Roger]] and the Evil Monkey.
* [[Cold Opening]]: Each installment begins with the Griffin family watching various television programs before the lights go out.
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: ''It's A Trap'' opens with the word crawl complaining they were sick of doing the Star Wars spoofs. The [[DVD Commentary]] makes it clear that no, it is ''not'' a joke.
* [[Crossover]]: Characters from ''[[American Dad]]'' and ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'' are in the third episode.
** This is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Stewie (as Vader) at the beginning of the third episode when Roger appears. Stewie is surprised and says something to the effect of "It's ''you'' [Roger]? Are we really out of our own characters? We have to use you?"
Line 67:
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Obi-Wan is this in the special, owing to who he is portrayed by (Old Man Herbert).
* [[DVD Commentary]]
* [[Edited for Syndication]]: Due to their hour long nature, the specials are often split into two parts with many scenes cut to make a 30 minute broadcast.
* [[Fridge Logic]]: . Plenty of head scratching moments from the movies are pointed out.
* [[Funny Afro]]: That Cleveland/R2-D2 even has one.
Line 73:
{{quote|"Yeah-heah! That's how we do it in ''my'' neighborhood, [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|Bitch]]!"}}
* [[History Marches On]]: The DVD release of ''It's a Trap'' features a throwaway gag of [[Osama Bin Laden]] popping up in the middle of the Tatooine desert to announce "Still alive!" Less than three weeks before the television premiere, this [[Hilarious in Hindsight|ceased to be so]]. The sequence was edited out of the televised version.
* [[I Like Those Odds]]:
{{quote|'''C-3PO/Quagmire:''' Sir, the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field are 2-1!
'''Han/Peter:''' [[Never Tell Me the Odds|Never tell me the o...]] well, that's not bad. }}
Line 97:
* [[Not Making This Up Disclaimer]]: Brian notes Lando is wearing Han's clothes, and then [[Cheated Angle|looks at the audience]] and tells them to watch ''Empire'' again, as he's not kidding.
* [[Off with His Head]]: Chris/Luke does this to [[Danny Elfman]]. See [[Take That]] below.
* [[Orchestral Bombing]]: Most notable during the Millennium Falcon/TIE-Fighter battle. Peter/Han [[Lampshade Hanging|sings]] [[Sorry I Left the BGM On|along]] to it.
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: Most spoofing actual scenes from the movies.
* [[Pimped-Out Car|Pimped Out TIE Fighter]]
Line 110:
** [[Brick Joke|Jabba's?]]
* [[Universal Adaptor Cast]]
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Some jokes were mentioned, but not put in the final episodes, including a ''[[Back to The Future]]'' reference when Leia kissed Luke, Han mentioning he had OCD, a ''[[Monty Python and
* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]
* [[Written in Infirmity]]: [[In-Universe]] example with Blue Harvest. Because Biggs Darklighter was portrayed by Joe Swanson, Biggs Darklighter was confined to a wheelchair. He explains that he got an injury from an accident regarding his repairing a Y-Wing that left him paralyzed.
