This is the first time in my 28 years that it’s even occurred to me that Luke could’ve been doing anything other than choking the guards. I had no idea there was any disagreement at all about that.
Ditto. We’re way off topic but it’s not vague at all. I hate to cite the novelisation, but just as a quick check it says they were ‘choking and gasping’. It’s not even cryptic since when talks to Bib Fortuna, Jabba calls him a weak minded fool as a direct reference to Luke and Ben arriving at Mos Eisley and using his powers of persuasion. It’s very well defined.
