Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side

 (2009)

Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side Blu-ray delivers great video and audio in this enjoyable Blu-ray release

The story of The Empire Strikes Back is retold. Darth Vader (Stewie) is hunting the rebel Luke Skywalker (Chris) and his troops relentlessly across the galaxy. On the ice planet Hoth, Luke has a vision of his late mentor Obi- Wan Kenobi (Herbert), telling him to go to the Dagobah system to learn the ways of the Force under Jedi Master Yoda (Carl). Meanwhile Princess Leia (Lois) finds herself taking a shine to the scruffy pilot Han Solo (Peter) and, against all odds, the two soon fall in love. But an encounter with Han’s old friend Lando Calrissian (Mort) lands them in the clutches of the Empire. Envisioning this, Luke chooses to forgo his Jedi training to save his friends. It all comes to a head in a climactic confrontation with Darth Vader himself…

Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side Blu-ray, Video Quality

  4.0 of 5

Something, Something, Something, Dark Side marks Family Guy's Blu-ray debut, and compared to cable broadcasts and previous DVD releases, this episode's 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer presents an excellent upgrade in video quality. I'm sure some folks are still wary about how 1080p can benefit simple 2-D animation, but chuck Dark Side into your Blu-ray drive and you'll immediately notice the advantages. The outlines of characters and objects, for one, are much tighter with the increase in resolution. So, while you may not get the added textural detail that you'd find in a celluloid film, the image is much more crisp and defined when compared to its DVD counterpart. Similarly, black levels are deeper, and colors—even with a palette as basic as Family Guy's—have more presence, giving the picture a sense of "pop" that isn't nearly as apparent in standard definition. Just as notably, there are no wayward artifacts here, no noise, macroblocking or unsightly jaggies, though I did notice some extremely slight banding in one Cloud City sunset. This could easily be source related, though, and not a product of the transfer itself. Either way, as I said, it's barely perceivable. Overall, I'm really pleased with Family Guy's first appearance on Blu- ray, and I hope we'll see future episodes and seasons grace the medium soon.


Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  4.0 of 5

As a Star Wars spoof, Something, Something, Something, Dark Side obviously has more going on sonically than your average Family Guy episode. Thankfully, it's been granted a stellar DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track that, while never taxing your home theater system, at least broadcasts the episode with pristine sound quality and a well-balanced mix. I know it will probably pain and pleasure a few Star Wars fans, tired of waiting for the franchise to hit Blu-ray, to hear John Williams' iconic themes in glorious lossless audio, but the music does sound fantastic here, with a great amalgam of detail, instrument separation, and potent bass. Many of the sound effects are a little thin—explosions are puny, for instance—but the track does make the most out of the surround channels. Tie Fighters criss-cross the rear speakers, lasers zip to and fro, fireballs ripple from front to back, and there's even a good amount of outer-spacey ambience tossed into the mix. Most importantly, dialogue is clean, clear, and prominent, making sure that all the jokes—whether they hit the moon or land somewhere off among the stars—are easily understood.
