“You Treat Me Like a Bantha and That Feels So Rough”
This is a Star Wars-themed parody of Gotye’s song “Somebody That I Used to Know,” titled, obviously, “The Star Wars I Used to Know.” Coincidentally, I don’t know the song or the music video, which makes me feel especially old and decrepit. Sigh. Thanks to all billion of you younger people who sent in the tip. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to put a folding chair on my front yard and wait for kids to step on my lawn so I can yell at them to get off it.

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.
