This comic features {{w|Darth Vader}}, the main antagonist from the original {{w|Star Wars}} trilogy. In the films, Vader possesses the ability to strangle his minions without having to touch them, using only the so called "{{w|Force (Star Wars)|force}}". This practise has therefore been called force-choking. The comic assumes that Vader used this technique against himself with the help of a mirror in order to become sexually aroused.
  
{{w|Autoerotic asphyxiation}} is a sexual practice in which lack of oxygen is induced to enhance sexual stimulus. The technique is considered extremely dangerous, especially without supervision, as loss of consciousness can result in continued strangling which can quickly be fatal.

The title text is a pun on the term "choking the chicken", a colloquial expression referring to male {{w|masturbation}}. "Force-choking the chicken" might mean a technique of self-gratification by use of the "force" without having to apply one's hands.
