The "Someting, something, something, dark side" parody of Star Wars "The Empire Strikes Back" is very cute with a Tom Selleck link.
Once again the Griffin family suffers a power failure and are entertained by Peter telling the tale. As in the first parody Chris is cast in the role of Luke Skywalker. After the fight with Darth Vader (Stewie) on Bespin, Luke falls out of the trash chute and is hanging upside down on the antenna.
In a panic he calls out for "Ben, Ben Kenobi!" No response. Then he calls out "Leia, Leia, help me!" No response either. Finally he calls out for "Tom Selleck!" The scene cuts to a clip of TS as Magnum, probably from season 8 based on the short hair, with Magnum on a couch reading. He reacts to something, stares ahead, then goes back to reading.
Finally Leia answers the call and the Millenium Falcon flies to his rescue.
