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.

Especially considering that’s not what the mind trick looks like and the fact the whole movie is building up to will-he-won’t-he with the final denial of the dark side at the end. No idea why someone would think otherwise. But then I’ve no idea how some people process any kind of movie information these days.

“That’s not what the truck looks like” is what’s wrong with how some view Star Wars. The Force can be used to influence minds. That’s the “trick.”
