 "Newsday"'s Diane Werts rendered a more mixed verdict, saying the episode "veer[s] wildly from bull's-eye satire to gotta-fill-time-now exposition", and was not as enjoyable for non-"Star Wars" fans.Robin Pierson of The TV Critic also gave it a mixed review, criticizing the writers for using the character of Herbert and the episode's musical moment which he called an "un-amusing waste of time", although he did praise the way that the episode satirized the "Star Wars universe"; he ended his review by saying that "Chances are the more you like "Star Wars", the more you will enjoy this.For those of us who know "Family Guy" better than "Star Wars", there is plenty of bad material here to remind us that nothing much has changed".
