Silly Star Wars Video Trifecta
No, I mean it — these are three videos of immense inconsequence. But there are plenty of worse ways to pass your lunch break.
? First up it’s the Star Wars credits in the style of Saul Bass. If you don’t know who Saul Bass is, then all you need to know is that it’s the Star Wars credits done in a wacky ’60s-style. Thanks to Jacob for the tip.
? An old Star Wars storybook-and-record set, enacted by vintage Kenner figures. It goes on for a while, but even I’m not so jaded I don’t find it kind of charming. Thanks to Brian H. for the tip.
? Snoopy joins in the battle of Yavin. I know I’m exactly so jaded I should rip this apart, but I can’t. It made me smile. I think the storybook must have softened me up or something. Thanks to Bonniegrrl for the tip.
About The Author
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.
