“General Kenobi, Years Ago You Played Legos with My Father During the Clone Wars”
Actually, I have no idea if Jimmy Smits/Bail Organa will actually be showing up in Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. However, even if he isn’t, I don’t think I’ll miss him — the game looks just as fun as the previous Lego Star Wars games, but much more epic. Some of those battles look genuinely intense — if I was a little kid, I’d be totally freaking out. As is, I’m freaking out a little right now anyways.

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.
