Wasn't the greatest in my opinion, just an epic of an episode that summarizes a movie whilst mocking it.

I'm saying that because it didn't make me laugh as much as many other episodes have, though if you're talking 'technically' then yes it's well done, simply because they did a big change of environment and made it longer.

Also, is the episode link legal?

Yeah you might want to get rid of the first link.
I own the boxset of it, watched it a few times but its easily not my favourite of the episodes.

It's not illegal, only downloading it is illegal, and you cant download it from there.

Whether it's legal or not to download, differs from country to country.

Anyway, a little trivia for thos in the dark. Blue Harvest was the "working title" for Episode 6 in the beginning. They chose that dull name so noone would suspect the finale of one of the greatest movie franchice ever was in the making so Georgie could get a little more peace while it lasted.

I think uploading was illegal for sure, downloading tv shows I suppose is a grey area, it could be argued that if you've watched it on tv you could download it since you can record a copy onto dvd or tape.

TV-links was stupid, they decided to upload movies up there that were just out on the cinemas which is illegal for sure. I'm fairly certain they might have got away with it if they didn't put those up there.

On TV the people who make the show are paid for it, hence you get TV adverts, (and pay for TV license (in the UK) and Sky or cable) though I don't see a problem if a website is able to get funding for the episodes to be shown - I think that's why all-SP is legal (or so it claims to be at least, it hasn't been shut down yet and is a fairly well known site to stream from) It's probably a way forward for to watch television if advertisement (or users) can pay for a show.

They do? Well I feel less of a nerd for not knowing. Hooray, I am a Nerd -1, well I would be if I didn't just make a D&D reference.

That always bothered me when Family Guy used it for this, because Blue Harvest was for Return of the Jedi, not A New Hope (which is the episode they parodied). It wasn't that funny either way though, and they should have picked a cooler character for Obi-Wan, you know, instead of a pedophile :/ .
