That discussion is several years old, and I for one think the image could stand to be updated. A good article image should instantly explain the trope, but I had to stare at it for a good 15 seconds before figuring out what was going on in it. I think the second-to-last panel from this Calvin strip http://chquotes.synthasite.com/resources/ch_sspiffdad
.gif should work nicely... if we wanted to change the current one, would we start a new thread in the discussion area?

Is the image really appropriate? I can't help but think it doesn't illustrate the trope very well...And that using a shot from the Rouge 1 trailer (the Death Star orbiting a planet...disguised as a moon) would be better.
