Keith Martin finds a way to make sense of Star Wars by making R2 and Chewie secret agents. (via kottke)

I read a dif­fer­ent expla­na­tion a few years about about how Obi-​Wan and Darth Vader are work­ing to “bring bal­ance to the force” by killing off all of the other Jedi which didn’t require as much guess­work, but this is good too..

1. Both expla­na­tions are better than the charge I read sev­eral years ago that R2-D2 and C3PO are gay robots and hence the Star Wars movies should be boy­cotted. I never did figure out how robots could be gay. Did they choose to be gay? Or were they man­u­fac­tured gay? I took it so seri­ously that I made sure you saw all three of the movies.

2. I don’t care if robots are gay, as long as they don’t go around making a big thing about it. The last thing I need is another darned parade of gay robots on my street. Robo Sapi­ens? More like Homo… wait. Romo? Hobo? Never mind.
