She’s No Good to Me Dead
Let’s get back on target wit a post that represents the best of what Topless Robot covers: fan-made Star Wars trinkets with a hint of mean-spiritedness. Hence awesome Barbie in Carbonite, frozen with a grinning rictus of terror on her face; made and for sale by Etsy artist Stray.
Actually, faithful reader Gia sent me a link to a site which links a ton of great Star Wars-inspired art and trinkets (investigative journalism!); if you’re looking for an Obi-wan Kenobi Sock Puppet or Battle Droid earrings, I suggest you head here postie-hastey.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
