Plot [edit]

The Griffin family unit experience another power outage, forcing them to reluctantly become through Return of the Jedi. Rather than setting upwardly the plot, the opening clamber states that the Pull a fast one on Dissemination Visitor required Seth MacFarlane to consummate the trilogy to be allowed to direct Ted.

On Tatooine, R2-D2 and C-3PO detect Jabba the Hutt's palace in society to initiate a plan to salve Han Solo, still frozen in carbonite for posterity. Leia unfreezes Han but Jabba captures her and she is shackled by Jabba's side. Han, meanwhile, is thrown into a prison cell with Chewbacca. Luke arrives at the palace and attempts to deal for the release of his friends. Jabba opens a trap door and Luke falls into a pit where he battles and kills the Rancor. After, Jabba orders Luke and his friends to be eaten by the Sarlacc. Luke initiates an assail on Jabba's coiffure with the assist of Lando Calrissian. Leia chokes Jabba using her slave bondage while the others commandeer a transport ship.

Luke and R2-D2 fly to Dagobah so Luke tin can finish his training with Yoda while the others rejoin the rebel fleet. On Dagobah, Yoda explains the last office of grooming is to confront Vader. In his dying words, Yoda reveals that Luke has a sibling. The spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi explains that his sibling is Princess Leia.

Admiral Ackbar explains that to destroy the Death Star they must first disable a shield generator on the forest moon of Endor. Han uses a stolen Majestic ship and old access code to sneak by the Empire'due south occludent. Vader allows them passage, knowing Luke is aboard. When they reach the moon'southward surface, the rebels are spotted past Regal soldiers which they finish from reporting after a high-speed hunt. Separated from the others, Leia is befriended by Wicket the Ewok. Luke, Han, Chewie and the droids fall into an Ewok trap while searching for Leia. They are captured and brought to the village where Leia is being housed. The Ewoks believe C-3PO is a god and begin to worship him. Luke tells Princess Leia they are siblings, only Leia claims to have already known that.

Following Yoda's advice, Luke surrenders to Vader in order to face up him. Vader tries to convince Luke to plough to the dark side. Luke refuses and the two run across with the Emperor, who reveals that Luke'south friends are walking into a trap on the forest moon. When this revelation fails to anger Luke, the Emperor begins to mock actor Seth Green (who voices Chris). Luke defends Green saying that he'southward been in successful projects, only to accept The Emperor saying the negative side of Dark-green's roles. Luke becomes enraged and begins dueling with Vader.

Back on the forest moon, Han leads the rebels to the shield generator, withal, the company is ambushed. The Ewoks help the rebels escape from the Majestic troops and destroy the shield generator, while Lando and Nien Nunb lead the set on on the Decease Star.

Luke finally subdues Vader, just he refuses to execute him and join the nighttime side at the Emperor's request. The Emperor so incapacitates Luke with his powerful Force lightning. Because Luke asks Vader politely for help, Vader gathers his remaining forcefulness and kills the distracted Emperor by throwing him into the reactor core. Vader and Luke manage to flee the Decease Star earlier Lando and his crew blow it upwards. Unfortunately, when Vader asks Luke to assistance him remove his mask (to "expect on you with my own eyes"), Luke accidentally/intentionally twists and breaks Vader'south neck. Everyone rendezvous back at the Ewok village to celebrate the rebels victory over the Empire. While the Ewoks kill the wounded Imperials, the spirits of Obi-Wan and Yoda appear to Luke, aslope the spirit of the redeemed Anakin Skywalker, who angrily accuses Luke of murdering him and starts swearing at him.

The Griffins' power returns just as Peter concludes the story, Meg so asks Peter "What about the prequel trilogy?" with Peter suggesting that The Cleveland Show might do the prequels. Later on that, the family unit starts arguing nearly whether Seth Green or Seth MacFarlane is a better creative person.
