Multiple pages of argument in the TLJ Review thread over whether or not Luke force-choked the Gamorrean guards at Jabba’s palace.
Well that’s easy.
He did.
Well, using both the script and the movie itself as reference, there’s plenty of convincing arguments that he technically didn’t.
Though I had no idea this had anything to do with a TLJ review. How exactly are those two related?
I think they were arguing Luke’s moral standards, if he’d do bad things, such as choking people at all.
And no, there are no convincing arguments that he didn’t. Adywan quoted the script (or the novelization) and it’s pretty clear that the guards were being choked.
There’s also the complete lack of the Force choke sound effect that was used in every choke scene earlier in the OT (and all subsequent film as well).
Nope, it’s definitely still there, and the audio tracks back it up. Specifically looking at the bottom track, which is for the deeper, more bass-y, sounds.
Here’s the clip with only that bottom audio track enabled.

You can even hear what sounds like bones crunching.
Weird. Which version did you use for that video? I checked my copy of both the GOUT and the despecialized version, turned up the sound, and I really can’t hear it in either.
I can sort of hear the “crunching” sound you referred to, but it sounds different, and more like a gargle to me.
EDIT:
We need a thread for this.
Yes.
