It retells the story of Return of the Jedi as "Blue Harvest" did with Star Wars and "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" did with The Empire Strikes Back by recasting characters from Family Guy into roles from the film.

Rather than setting up the plot, the opening crawl states that the Fox Broadcasting Company required Seth MacFarlane to complete the trilogy to be allowed to direct Ted.

On Tatooine, R2-D2 and C-3PO find Jabba the Hutt's palace in order to initiate a plan to save Han Solo, still frozen in carbonite for posterity.

Admiral Ackbar explains that to destroy the Death Star they must first disable a shield generator on the forest moon of Endor.

When they reach the moon's surface, the rebels are spotted by Imperial soldiers which they stop from reporting after a high-speed chase.

When this revelation fails to anger Luke, the Emperor begins to mock actor Seth Green (who voices Chris).

The Ewoks help the rebels escape from the Imperial troops and destroy the shield generator, while Lando and Nien Nunb lead the attack on the Death Star.

Luke finally subdues Vader, but he refuses to execute him and join the dark side at the Emperor's request.

It was announced in March 2009 the show had read through an early draft of the script under the working title, Episode VI: The Great Muppet Caper.

Stan was originally going to appear as Wedge Antilles, but his part got cut (he is still mentioned when Lando orders him to destroy the Power Station in the main reactor of the Death Star).

The episode featured voice cameos from Patrick Stewart and Michael Dorn reprising their roles of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Worf from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Adam West, Carrie Fisher and Rush Limbaugh as the Rancor (Limbaugh had previously made a cameo as himself in "Blue Harvest").
