Darth Vader Is a Damn Hippie
Okay, Darth. I’m game for turning off my non-essential electric things on March 27th from 10:30 pm through 11:30 pm for the WWF’s “Earth Hour.” I might even have let the striped hipster socks slide, because everyone wears some odd shit on laundry day. But the flower on your helmet? C’mon. This is why the Emperor kept Grand Moff Tarkin in charge. Thanks to Magmoose for the tip.
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.
