It's a Trap!

"It's a Trap!" is an upcoming hour-long episode of the Fox animated series Family Guy and the sequel episode to the Star Wars parodies "Blue Harvest" and "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side."[1]
The episode was written by David A. Goodman and directed by Peter Shin. It will retell the story of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi as "Blue Harvest" did with Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and "Something, Something, Something Dark Side" did with Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, recasting characters from Family Guy into roles from the film. The release of this film will thus complete the parody remakes of the original Star Wars trilogy.[1][2]
Background
It was announced in March 2009 that the cast of the show had read through an early draft of the script under the working title, "Episode VI — The Great Muppet Caper".[3] The second working title, "We Have a Bad Feeling About This," was a reference to the recurring catchphrase that is used in the Star Wars films. The settled-upon title is a reference to the line by Admiral Ackbar in the film, which became an Internet meme.
In addition to the characters from Family Guy, the episode will also feature characters from American Dad! and The Cleveland Show.[1] Series creator Seth MacFarlane has confirmed that Meg will portray the Sarlacc.
Production
The episode will be written by co-executive producer David A. Goodman, along with another unnamed writer, and directed by Peter Shin, in his first episode since the fourth season. A preview of the reading of the episode can be seen on the "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" DVD extras.
DVD release
A DVD release, titled Family Guy: It's a Trap, is set to be released in Region 4 on December 8, 2010[4] and in Region 1 on December 21, 2010.[5]
