− | In this comic, however, Darth Vader has accidentally discovered his son's {{w|fleshlight}} (a male {{w|sex toy}} designed to imitate one of various orifices, most commonly a vagina{{Citation needed}}), which he apparently brought with him on the [[wikia:c:starwars:Battle of Endor#The ground assault|attack]] on the {{w|Endor (Star Wars)|Forest Moon of Endor}}. [https://youtu.be/Z8uDQuWlnww?t=71 From a certain point of view], a fleshlight could be mistaken for the handle of a lightsaber, without the blade extended. Like many teenagers, Luke Skywalker is attempting to hide evidence of his sexual activity from a parent. References to fleshlights are a [[:Category:Fleshlights|recurring theme]] in xkcd. | |

− | The title text refers to the fact that if Darth Vader turned the fleshlight on, instead of creating a blade of pure plasma or energy suspended in a force containment field the device would simply vibrate, revealing it for what it really is. [[Randall]] is also punning on "being turned on" as slang for being sexually aroused.

− | In a later comic another version of this scene is displayed in [[1433: Lightsaber]]. This time not so embarrassing for Luke, but much more dangerous. In that comic Luke should really have said "Don't turn it on".

− | In [[1637: Salt Mine]], [[Ponytail]] makes a very similar remark to the one that Luke makes here.
