Seth MacFarlane, 36, created "Family Guy," Fox's animated sitcom,
which this year became the first cartoon series nominated for a prime-
time Emmy since "The Flintstones" in 1961. Fox just released the DVD
"Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side," a follow-up
to the 2007 "Blue Harvest" episode that spoofed the "Star Wars"
franchise.
Why do an extended "Star Wars" parody?
Everybody knows "Star Wars" -- at least, everybody in our audience.
And Lucasfilm is probably the only company out there right now that is
progressive enough to allow this. Certainly we would have a laugh
doing this with "Indiana Jones" or "Wrath of Khan." But I can't
imagine in a billion years that Paramount would give us permission.
