Yeah, me too. I always thought of the black clothes as a Jedi's outfit. I had never thought of him using the force choke being a bad thing, or any of the other powers he used being symbols of his slipping to the Dark Side. If they had had Yoda rebuke him for this in the movie like he does it the book, it would have really highlighted that point.

In what book? In the novelization Yoda doesn't rebuke Luke for his costume or choice of force powers.

I never really thought the whole Jabba the Hut sequence through, but I thought it was meant to be ambigious. The movie didn't spell out the whole strategy because it wanted the audience to interpret it themselves. I don't think Luke had respect for Jabba's right, he was going to do whatever necessary to get everything he wanted from him even if he had to kill everybody. That's one thing that I like about the perception they gave the jedi in the OT. They were tough protectors fighting for peace and wouldn't take no bullshit even if they ended up being a little uncivilized. In the PT they were a bunch of niave whimps.

If I'm not mistaken, in the novelization, Luke gets some flack from Yoda after the rescue for his actions in Jabba's palace, especially for the force choke.

He didn't. I just checked. No sign of that.

On the other hand, if somebody can find Yoda rebuking Luke in the novelization I'd appreciate knowing where in the novel, including a page number if possible.
