==Explanation==
[[Megan]] just wants to have a normal conversation about the moon, but [[Cueball]] replies with a quote from ''{{w|Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope}}'', wherein {{w| Obi-Wan Kenobi}} says: "That's no moon, that's a space station." Megan cuts him off in the manner of another ''Star Wars'' character, the villain {{w|Darth Vader}}, and showing a glimmer of the character's abilities, proceeds to choke him with {{w|The Force}} while modifying another phrase from the same film. (The original quotation was, "I find your lack of faith disturbing.")

There is humor in Megan's hypocrisy, however. Although she is disturbed by Cueball's unoriginal dialogue, she is fine with doing it herself. (It is possible, however, that she finds modifying a quote, rather than just repeating it verbatim, to be original enough. She also may be unaware that she is actually quoting Star Wars, as Megan may just be saying something articulate and accidentally saying something similar to the original quote-however, since it is implied that she has seen A New Hope, this is unlikely.)

''Star Wars'' fans are a weird bunch, however, and the title text states that if a ''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 holds Cueball up in the air by his neck à la Darth Vader using the force.]
: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*''
:Megan: I find your lack of original conversation disturbing.
