I feel like it’s worth mentioning Vader chokes a total of two people in all of TESB.
Really? Damn. Maybe I’ve been grasping at straws this whole time. SOMETHING feels different to me.
In any case, I found the article. It just gets my imagination going as to what a more nuanced version of Vader would be like.

That’s an excellent article. Too bad Lucas and later writers didn’t read it/take it to heart.
