Title text: Unfortunately for her, real Star Wars fans are attracted to a gal with a good force choke.

Explanation

Megan just wants to have a normal conversation about the moon, but Cueball replies with a quote from Star Wars, when Ben Kenobi said, "That's no moon, that's a space station." Megan cuts him off in the manner of another Star Wars character, villain Darth Vader, and showing a glimmer of the character's abilities, proceeds to choke him with "The Force" while modifying another phrase from the same film. (The original quote was, "I find your lack of faith disturbing.")

Star Wars fans are a weird bunch, however, and the title text states that if a male Star Wars fan met a girl who could do this in real life, it'd only serve to turn him on even more.

Megan: I find your lack of original conversation disturbing.

Discussion

Based on the proportion of Star Wars comics that Randall has posted out of the total number of comics that he has posted, I believe Randall could be statistically termed a Star Wars fan.

Therefore I feel an urge to ask him one question: Randall, how is your wife's Force choke?Occ (talk) 05:22, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Is the title text related to erotic asphyxiation? 141.101.98.33 10:12, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
