When you have a sci-fi trilogy with a large cult following (and by that we mean fat, forty-somethings who live with their parents), parodies are never far behind. Yesterday, Something Something Something Darkside, the second of what will hopefully be many more Family Guy Star Wars parodies, released on DVD and Blu-Ray disc. If you enjoyed the first one, Blue Harvest, you'll love this one, which features the return of Stewie as Darth Vader, Lois as Princess Leia, and Peter as Han Solo, as well as the introduction of Giant Chicken's Boba Fett. When your laser has blasted off to that enough, here are more dope Star Wars parodies that have the force with them...


**BONUS** Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)
• This isn't actually a parody, but back when damn near every TV show had a holiday special, LucasFilm produced a light-hearted spin-off of their own movie. Rumor has it that George Lucas hated the holiday special and would destroy every copy if he could. Damn, G, it ain't that bad. Talk about being your own worst critic!
