Vader: *turns fleshlight on* An invisible blade? That is quite interesting. I should build one of these myself. (Alternately, I find your lack of blade disturbing)103.22.201.239 05:55, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

What are these "connection to previous comic" things? They seem random and arbitrary. 199.27.133.205 06:15, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

There usually seems to be a point of contact with the previous comic. That a connection is usually there means it probably isn't coincidental but is part of the ingredients for making each new comic. So yes they do seem random and arbitrary because the content of the connection doesn't mean anything. The point is just that every comic is connected to the previous comic. The explanations of the connections may be incorrect. I thought I'd put these connection sections in to see how people feel about having a regular connection section.

It may be a good idea, but I see no connection, just a lame pun. There usually dorsn't seem to be much of a connection anyways.173.245.48.130 07:14, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
I don't think there's a real connection. I think that you're finding arbitrary segues, because you can segue between just about any two topics if you try. Try this - pick two random xkcd, and see if you can't find a "connection". 108.162.249.209 11:57, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
I agree. This is the most stupid idea I have seen here on explain. Please remove them again. Thay make no sence and spoils the nice look of this great page. Kynde (talk) 13:37, 21 July 2014 (UTC)


Anyone want to mention that this is probably referencing is a weird quirk of the films? We never see Luke construct a lightsaber (unless I missed something), and it's easy to assume that it's actually... I think Ben Kenobi's or Yoda's, maybe (for prequel enthusiasts) even Qui Gon's... After all, if Obi kept Anakin's, maybe he'd also keep Qui-Gon's, and any others, and end up leaving at least one green sabre on the Falcoln. Anyway, my point is, Randall noticed that this line of dialogue isn't really explained, and Luke is probably going along with Darth's assumption to save face... And then took the awkward situation to new heights. I can't tell if I'm being a total idiot here or if I'm on to something. Or option three, it's something glaringly obvious but needs a mention to explain the comic in context 141.101.99.234 10:29, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
