Season 6 / Episode 1: - Blue Harvest

Chris (Luke Skywalker): Is it a fast ship?
Peter (Han Solo): Are you kidding? It's the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.
Chris (Luke Skywalker): Um, isn't a parsec a unit of distance, not time?

Season 6 / Episode 1: - Blue Harvest

Peter (Han Solo): We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose'em. [the Falcon starts listing lazily to the left]
Chris (Luke Skywalker): Uh, that was your maneuver? Moving slightly to the left?
Peter (Han Solo): Well, I mean we're not in the same place we were, huh? That ought to confuse'em.
Chris (Luke Skywalker): Yeah, but you hardly did anything. You just started listing lazily to the left. I'm pretty sure they can keep up.
Imperial Officer 1: Where did they go?
Imperial Officer 2: There they are! They're listing lazily to the left. Go left, left!
Imperial Officer 1: Boy, this guy knows some maneuvers.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: After the light saber duel between Herbert (Obi Wan) and Stewie (Darth Vader), Brian (Chewbacca) and Peter Griffin (Han Solo) run out with the couch. When they are arguing with each other on how to get the couch into the Millennium Falcon, the laser blasts are actually going the wrong way. The Storm Troopers are on the right of them firing to the left, but the the laser blasts are coming from the left of them and going right. You can clearly see there wasn't any Storm Troopers on the left of them as they were running to the ship.
CONT: At the Cantina bar, Han Solo is the last character to leave for the Millennium Falcon, but somehow manages to get there before everyone else.
FAKE: When Peter and Chris are getting the couch out of the trash compactor, Brian and Lois are standing on top surface of the garbage water.
CONT: A cloud appears in front of one of Tatooine's twin suns too quickly (possibly a deliberate error since the same thing happens in the actual movie.)
CONT: During a light saber duel between Obi Wan (Herbert) and Darth Vader (Stewie), Darth Vader uses a red light saber. After killing Obi Wan, Darth Vader is seen with a blue light saber as stormtroopers fire on the Millennium Falcon as it departs. In the next shot that shows Darth Vader, he is again holding a red light saber.

TRIVIA

Among the aliens in the cantina scene is Coach McGuirk from the animated series "Home Movies" (1999) and Roger the alien from "American Dad!" (2005).
In this retelling of the story, Red Six and Porkins are different people. In Star Wars (1977), they were the same person.
At the end, Peter and Chris argue over a similar episode of "Robot Chicken" (2005). Seth Green, the voice of Chris, is the co-creator, director, and producer of "Robot Chicken". Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy and voice actor for Peter even appeared in the Robot Chicken parody.
Mark Hamill (I) pulled out of doing a DVD commentary in protest over Peter's line about how Harrison Ford (I) was the only actor whose career wasn't destroyed by Star Wars (1977).
According to the DVD commentary, archival footage was used of Leslie Nielsen's lines from Airplane! (1980) because he was apparently "too expensive."
