The 20th episode of season 8 of Family Guy is titled "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" and is a parody of the Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The episode follows the Griffin family as they take on the roles of the Star Wars characters, with Peter as Han Solo, Lois as Princess Leia, Chris as Luke Skywalker, Brian as Chewbacca, and Stewie as Darth Vader.

The episode begins with a text crawl, similar to that of the Star Wars movies, detailing the story so far. The plot follows closely to that of The Empire Strikes Back, with the Griffin family encountering the evil Darth Vader on the planet Hoth. The family flees the planet and splits up, with Peter and Han Solo trying to save Chris from the clutches of the Empire, which is led by Stewie as Darth Vader.

The episode is filled with references to the Star Wars franchise, including the famous line "I am your father" and the iconic lightsaber battles. The animation style is also changed to reflect the Star Wars universe, with the characters drawn in the style of the movies.

Aside from the Star Wars references, the episode also features the typical humor of Family Guy, with Peter and his usual shenanigans causing some laughs. The family dynamic is also highlighted, with Lois and Peter's relationship being the focus of some scenes.

Overall, the episode is a fun and entertaining parody of The Empire Strikes Back, with the Griffin family taking on the roles of the beloved characters. Fans of both Family Guy and Star Wars will enjoy the references and humor, making it a must-watch for any fan of the two franchises.
