"It's a Trap!" is a direct-to-video special of the animated series Family Guy, which later served as the two-part season finale of the show's ninth season, and is the third and final part of the series' Star Wars parody trilogy Laugh It Up, Fuzzball.[1] It is named after the phrase uttered by Admiral Ackbar in the Star Wars film Return of the Jedi.[2] The home video was first released on December 21, 2010, and the episode later aired on Fox in the United States on May 22, 2011.
The episode was written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and David A. Goodman and directed by Peter Shin. 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.[1][3]
