I think it would be better if he just did the same trick Ben did (point at them and they pretend he isn't there).

Agreed. Choking them was just stupid and unnecessary. I've felt that for a long time. Why did they do it, anyway? To make Luke's new darker dressing character more ambiguous or something?

I never had any issue with it. They tried to block him, he said "step back sucka" with the Force and went about his business. It's notable that he doesn't kill them with it.

"Force Choke" as a "Dark Side Power" is something arbitrary they made up in the RPGs and Video Games. Luke is the man, since he does it it's probably OK to do.
