Well, Family Guy in general is pretty crass, so, if you don't like the show you won't or wouldn't have liked the SW episode. The show is kind of hit and miss with me, personally, but I mostly liked the SW one. Part of the choice for the creepy old guy is that he's pretty much the only old guy they have. Believe me, he's MUCH creepier on the show, to the point where it's not one of the bits I care to watch. They also toned down Quagmire/C3PO a lot as well, which was good, and probably on purpose given that a lot of non-Family Guy folks were bound to stop by just because it was SW related.
That's the point that most people need to keep in mind. Yes, it had something to do with SW, but it was still just Family Guy. Family Guy is rude, crude, and insulting to both things that they love and things that they don't love so much. Watch at your own risk or at least with parental guidance.
Second point, Seth Green creator of Family Guy is also Seth Green creator of Robot Chicken. Just saying...
Edit -Hehehee... incorrect, Lala! I seem to have confused Seth Green and Seth McFarlane. Doh! (Hmmm...wrong reference, too!)
And finally, not so important, but to me the theory about Brian the dog seems a bit deep for Family Guy. They do pick on religion a lot, but it's always pretty superficial. Plus, anthropomorphic animals are nothing new to cartoons. Personally I think they just thought that a dog being smarter than anyone else in the house would be amusing. Of course, you have your take on it, and that's fine too... I just never saw that myself.
Anyway, on to much better SW related TV, we hope!
