This is the first time in my 28 years that I’ve even seen it suggested that Luke could’ve been doing anything other than choking the guards. I had no idea there was any disagreement at all about that.
This is the first time in the 34 years since the movie came out that I have heard he was force choking the guards. I must have watched ROTJ millions of times and never got that idea.
Yup. If you watch it carefully, Luke is doing exactly what Vader did. Except that Luke has different motives. Luke just uses it to harmlessly and temporarily disable them so he didn’t have to fight them. Vader used it to intimidate or kill.
