Lando Calrissian Is Trapped in the Cantina
This doesn’t mean he was caught on videotape peeing on underage Bothans, alas. It just means someone made a music video of R. Kelly’s ridiculous “Real Talk” song starring Lando, and man, is it fantastic. I admit, I might be a bit biased, because creator Frankenseuss managed to work in Ackmena from the Star Wars Holiday Special, as Boing Boing noted, and anything that gives Lando and Bea Arthur time together is totally rad in my book. Still, it’s a better way to end the day than most of the insanity I usually force on you.

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.
