The prequels have become a goldmine for meme templates and there are a million and one plot holes to expose in the sequels. In recent seasons, Family Guy has amped up its self-awareness. In season 17, there was a whole episode of the characters doing a DVD commentary for a non-existent episode. As an angsty, disturbed teen, Chris would make the perfect Kylo Ren. The animators could reuse designs of older Peter and Lois from flash-forward episodes so they could reprise their roles as Han and Leia.
While more Star Wars episodes may be off the table, Family Guy will surely continue to reference MacFarlane's favorite films, television shows and moments in pop culture, including a galaxy far, far away. She has a degree in Cinema Studies from the University of Toronto, and has seen just about every horror movie ever made.

Beyond the sheer difficulty of creating these episodes, the Family Guy team also has to contend with the growing resurgence of Star Wars. With Disney making a killing on new Star Wars movies like The Force Awakens , the studio has become much less willing to let adult cartoons such as Family Guy poke fun at a major cash cow. Lucasfilm had no problem with these spoofs back when the Star Wars brand remained relatively dormant, but Disney is now far more concerned with brand integrity.
Condensing the story of each of the three original trilogy films into more manageable run times, the spoofs inject Family Guy characters into logical roles -- Peter for Han Solo, Chris for Luke Skywalker, Giant Chicken as Boba Fett, etc. Seth MacFarlane has become known for his affinity for Star Wars , and that passion shines through with how expertly these episodes send up Episodes Disney should at the very least reconsider letting Family Guy or any other major cartoon have another pass at this mythos, because these spoofs are genuine love letters to the galaxy far, far away.
So far now it looks as though Family Guy won't be doing any more Star Wars parodies for the foreseeable future. We will keep you posted regarding any potential developments as more information becomes available to us.
