How does Behat know what to do when it sees Given there is a “Sith Lord Lightsaber”, which costs £5?

You tell it: you write PHP code inside your context class (FeatureContext in our case) and tell Behat that this code represents a specific scenario step (via an attribute with a pattern):

#[Given('there is a(n) :arg1, which costs £:arg2')]
public function thereIsAWhichCostsPs($arg1, $arg2)
{
    throw new PendingException();
}

Those patterns could be quite powerful, but at the same time, writing them for all possible steps manually could become extremely tedious and boring. That’s why Behat does it for you :

--- FeatureContext has missing steps. Define them with these snippets:

    #[Given('there is a :arg1, which costs £:arg2')]
    public function thereIsAWhichCostsPs($arg1, $arg2)
    {
        throw new PendingException();
    }
