==Explanation==
[[Megan]] just wants to have a normal conversation about the moon, but [[Cueball]] replies with a quote from {{w|Star Wars Episode IV|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 quotation 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.

==Transcript==
:[Outside, under a crescent moon.]
:Megan: It's strange to stare at the moon and think about people walking on it.
:Cueball: That's no moon, it's a—''gack''
:[She holds him up in the air by his neck à la Darth Vader using the force.]
:Megan: I find your lack of original conversation disturbing.

I don't think the girl pictured is Megan, it seems to me that it's another girl and he is conflicted about talking to her because of unresolved feelings with Megan, which may come back to bite him if he doesn't explore them fully before becoming committed to another. Due to the beginning of the description it seems like this is just a silly mistake.
