I don’t recall Luke choking anyone in ROTJ
I thought he was using a Jedi mind trick there.
I agree with Warb. We know what it looks like if someone is choking and that wasn’t what happened in that scene. I have always read the scene as Luke convincing the GGs to go back to their posts and sleep, their hands on their chests in a restrained or passive position.
Really? Even with the guards grabbing their throats and making choking noises? He was obviously force choking.
Pig sounds and hands on chests. Also clear they are not pushed.
It looks nothing like the Stormtrooper who gets force-tricked by Obi-Wan, he was acting completely normal. The guards do not act normal.
Of course they don’t act normal. Nothing to do with the particular influence exercised on the Stormtrooper. When a guard puts their arm on their chest it is a sign of respect in many a film. The guards had their hands on their chests and walked backward and fell asleep. Choking looks very different.
Edit: also, go take a look at the ROTJ script.
