Warning: This Video Contains a Massive Empire Strikes Back Spoiler
This is a video of a young boy watching a scene from Empire Strikes Back — the scene — and his reaction to it. Honestly, it may be the greatest video on the internet. It’s certainly the most heart-warming. Even though we all give George Lucas and Star Wars a lot of shit nowadays, I would give a great, great deal to be able to watch this scene again for the first time, and be as blown away as he is.

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.
