Hijack: Family Guy Star Wars episode V

They released the poster for the new Family Guy Star Wars episode. It looks good.  It’s called “Something, something, something, darkside”, a reference to another Star Wars reference in another Family Guy episode in which The Emperor learns the secret to saying his lines (or something like that).

I loved the first one, but I spotted a huge mistake early on.  They used the one and only black character in the show to play Artoo.  That means in this next episode they needed to get a white person to play Lando.  They chose Mort Goldman.  Wouldn’t it have made so much more sense to make your wheelchair bound character, Joe, the character with wheels.  That means you can have your black character play a black character.  Now we have a Woody Allen based character playing Lando Calrissian, that’s going to be odd.
