Explanation[edit | edit source]

This strip takes the original Garfield strip, originally involving Garfield performing on a fence in a nighttime setting with a pie seemingly knocking the moon out of the sky, and reframes the setting using backdrops from Star Wars: A New Hope so that Garfield is now performing in front of the Death Star, which then blows up from being hit by the pie. The Death Star itself was mistaken for a moon at earlier points of the film; one of Han Solo's iconic lines makes clear that the Death Star isn't a moon.

Further punctuating this strip's references is its initial release on May 4, 2025, often known among the Star Wars fandom as "Star Wars Day"; the date is treated as a pun on an iconic mantra from the Star Wars series, "May the Force be with you".
