Looks Good, This Lego Clone Wars Game Does
Tune out the talking heads and watch a four-minute preview of Lego Star Wars III: the Clone Wars. I was sold as soon as I heard “Lego Star Wars III,” but now that I’ve gotten to see it in action, I’m pretty damn excited. Better graphics, better combat, better vehicle stages — all works for me. And although I’ll miss the charm of seeing how Travelers Tales interpreted the movies, it’ll also be nice to not know exactly what’s coming up in any given sequence. Hopefully, by the time this thing comes out next spring, I’ll have managed to save up $50.

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.
