It’s pretty goddamn unreasonable to believe that you can choke someone to death with The Force (even over massive distances) but choke someone to unconsciousness. Also when choking someone they are knocked out and you have to continue the choking before they eventually die.Choking someone is incredibly unsafe. If you do not have intent to harm you should not choke someone because even if it’s just for “knocking them out” there’s a chance the windpipe will collapse entirely, killing them. That’d look real good on Vader’s monthly review wouldn’t it? No, it makes much more sense for him not to choke Luke at all if he wants him alive.
While choking is unsafe the odds are due to his skill with Force Choke he wouldn’t have crushed the windpipe. Maybe Anakin in ROTS would but not this version of Darth Vader.
What about the other solution though? Why couldn’t Vader just pick him up with The Force, hold him down in the Carbonite chamber and turn the thing on?
Regardless, is he able to use choke while fighting?
Seeing as how he was able to fight while throwing stuff at Luke…yeah I think he would be able to do that.
