The New Star Tours Isn’t for Pussies
Or so this new commercial for the Disney ride would seem to imply. Or maybe each ride comes with a free questioning of your manhood by Admiral Ackbar for men, and a free leer by a Tusken Raider for women. Maybe the tour droids consider it added value, I don’t know; I’m just disappointed there’s no Aly San San action in this thing. Oh, by the way, stop putting George Lucas character names in the comments, because it’s totally going to be a TR contest in a few weeks. You’d do better to save ’em. (Via Geeks Are Sexy)

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.
