I personally allways interpreted the scene as signifying Luke’s a darker character now, and more like his father than he might think. So, to me that allways was a case of Luke using a Force choke, but if Hamill or anyone else sees it differently, I suppose only George Lucas has the answer. The ROTJ screenplay doesn’t speak of a Force choke, so you may very well be right.
Which scene are you referring to?
ROTJ at Jabba’s palace when Luke force chokes the pigmen to gain access.
There are a few people here who believe Luke was using a mind trick to make them go to sleep.
Which I’m incredulous at…though I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
Ahhh…I forgot about that. I think the pig guard put his hand up to his throat, didn’t he?
Quite.
Someone (can’t remember who) claimed he put his hands over his chest, which was apparently meant to show they’re going to sleep.
Lol.
I went back and watched again. It does look like he may of caused a 'Force Heart attack" to one of the pigmen. That would be a bada$$ Jedi move.
Those lard-asses have such a lousy diet, it’s a rare day they don’t feel like they’re having a heart attack. 😛
