You already know what I mean, though you disagree with me. No need to bore you repeating myself đ
No, I kind of donât. Kyloâs abilities with exception of being able to successfully pull information from Reyâs mind and his loss in the lightsaber duel were pretty consistent throughout the film. The latter failure being the result of numerous extenuating circumstances and without those in play his victory would have been an absolute certainty.
Itâs not his fault. His duty was to slow down the emperials to let the other escape, and he did a good job.
I could have sworn his duty was to stop the Walkers from destroying the power generatorsâŚwhich is precisely what they do once the battle turns in the Empireâs favor.
Can Vader actually just choke people out?
Why wouldnât he be able to when people can do a rear naked choke and knock someone out by more conventional means?
He didnât want to actually hurt the Emperorâs prey and his potential weapon against him.
Knocking Luke unconscious wouldnât have done a thing to him that beyond wellâŚunconsciousness.
I meant pushing him into the freezer.
Oh well technically he still fell in but got out before it was too late.
EDIT: About Chocking-Vader, it may very well be that he was also testing Luke to see if he was skilled enough to help him against th Emperor (in fact he keeps questioning or admiring his skills), so he didnât want to end the fight too soon.
Thatâs fine but at first he tried to freeze him and then after that plan fell apart he continued testing him. If he really wanted to freeze Luke initially he could have still choked him out and thrown him in the chamber.

Itâs a fancier way of saying George cares and knows more about the source material than anyone in this thread.
If George had cared a bit about the source material The Force would still be a mystical energy field, Qui-Gon Jinn wouldnât have been Obi-Wanâs master, Anakin wouldnât have been a douchenozzel and Padme wouldnât have died 30 seconds after child birth.
