The Fox series spoofed the popular sci-fi franchise in 2007 with the 'Blue Harvest' episode, while the show creator plans to satire The Empire Strikes Back with the upcoming 'Something Something Something Dark Side'.
He told Sci-Fi Wire: "Certainly the big worm coming out of the asteroid is a big comedy moment for us. The snow battle is kind of a nightmare, but we put enough jokes in there to sustain it."
MacFarlane explained that the Return Of The Jedi episode entitled 'We Have a Bad Feeling About This' presented its own set of problems. He said: "We're running out of Family Guy characters to add in. That's why for Jedi we've used characters from The Cleveland Show and from American Dad."
It was recently reported that Fox will not air an episode of Family Guy that deals with abortion.
