“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.”
I don’t know what you’re saying. Luke does two things when he enters the palace, he raises his hand and chokes two guys with blatant visual and audio clues - exactly like Vader. Then he goes inside and tries to ‘trick’ Jabba with spoken words - just like Kenobi. Both are distinctive, and they are shown just as they were in the previous two movies. How are you getting the old ‘you don’t need to see his identification’ gag mixed up I don’t know, especially when he does it in the same scene. You think he did the same thing twice?
I appreciate how obvious it seems to some of you. It is a common phenomenon for people to look at the exact same thing and see totally different things. There are not blatant clues or choking. I won’t be so pedantic to insist Force choking requires a grasping hand with closing fingers, though Vader habitually did that.
Sometimes it behooves a Jedi to use speech in tandem with persuasive Force powers. With lesser minded Gamorreans it’s probably even less called for.
I think this is an instructive dialogue regarding differing perceptions of TLJ and how we deal with each other when we disagree.
