It also happens in the Star Wars Holiday Special (which this whole story is alluding to), after all! :-)
This particular stormtrooper is meant to be one of those guys, BTW.
("Zehmist" because their boss was a certain Tona Zehm, and "Neo-Zehmist" because said Tona is dead and this is in the far future!)
Hehehehe! :-D
In my comic, I occasionally use *Wilhelm scream* as a running gag.
However, in this particular case, it is also actually in the scene this panel is alluding to!
