However, despite their strict adherence to the light side of the Force, several Jedi were known to use this power, as although it was considered a dark side ability, it was also a technique of telekinesis. Its use, however, was forbidden by the Jedi.
Force choke is just an application of telekinesis. The reason they don't use it is entirely philosophical. The force is life, using life to end life is a perversion in the eyes of the Jedi. The funny thing is, force choke would actually be incredibly useful as a non-lethal application of telekinesis.
It's most commonly associated with Darth Vader and the Sith, but Luke has used Force choke — and it has even been seen on the big screen. In an early scene in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Luke breaks his way into Jabba's Palace but is confronted by the green, pig-like guards.
Throughout the Star Wars franchise, we've most often seen this move employed by powerful users of the dark side of the Force. Yet, Baby Yoda uses Force Choke here completely unnecessarily, theoretically to help Mando cheat in a friendly arm wrestling match.
Force Crush was possibly the darkest Force ability known to both the Sith and the Jedi. It was a more advanced form of the Force Grip ability. This ability lifted the opponent into the air, and as they were floating, their body literally imploded as it was crushed from within by the Force.
Description. If a Dark Jedi or Sith Lord was being beaten and frustrated by his foe, he might let out an enraged scream (amplified through the Force) that triggered shock waves that rippled through the Force. This caused devastation to any that were unfortunate enough to be in proximity.
Force lightning ability was not restricted to dark-siders. Jedi and other light-siders who were strong of will and character could learn this power without falling to the dark side—but its use was viewed as inherently corrupting, and most Jedi Councils forbade its use.
Kylo Ren used the Force choke as a tool to initimidate General Armitage Hux. During the Battle of Oetchi, General Armitage Hux entered the Supremacy throne room where he found Supreme Leader Snoke and his Elite Praetorian Guards dead.
Darth Vader can not use force lighting, because of his severed arms. Robotic hands can't summon the force lighting. However Darth Vader can still use other forms of the force, such as force choke.
Vader Force chokes Motti for his lack of faith. By 0 BBY, Motti served as Admiral of the Navy, and held the position of Chief of the Imperial Navy.
A former Jedi, Count Dooku is an immensely powerful Force-sensitive individual and has a firm grip over the Force choke. He has used it to overpower many—a pirate called Turk Falso, Zygerrian Queen Miraj Scintel, Silman, a couple of guards, and Anakin Skywalker.
The Force choke is another tool employed by Sith to intimidate and even kill their opponents. Sith usually visualize the ability with a claw-like or crushing hand gesture, and strangle a victim through the power of the dark side. The result is an often painful, slow death.
In Star Wars, Darth Vader most iconic move is the Force choke, and his reasons for using it are surprisingly spiritual in origin. In Star Wars, Sith Lords are some of the most feared entities in the galaxy. Their use of the Dark Side of the Force made them immensely powerful and gave them a haunting presence.
Actor Richard LeParmentier, whose character was infamously choked by villain Darth Vader in the original "Star Wars" movie, has died at age 66, his representative confirms to TODAY.
He wasn't powerful enough. Obi-wan could use the Force to counter any of Vader's Force-attacks. Meanwhile in The Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine and Dooku together, WERE powerful enough. Did Obi-Wan really become more powerful than Darth Vader could ever imagine?
Palpatine's own showing of the Force Choke in Clone Wars showcased the ability to transmit his choke even across hologram projections or to incapacitate guards he could not even see, so it's not as though this is the first time his showings with the power proved superior to Vader's own.
In a Vanity Fair interview from 2005, George Lucas went deeper into why Anakin became much weaker as Vader. In the interview, he explained that because Anakin's limbs were severed and replaced by robotics, it was harder for him to use the Force than it was before his battle with Obi-Wan.
His suit followed an ancient Sith tradition, in which the warriors of the dark side of the Force would adorn themselves in heavy armor.
Upon learning that Vader was a servant of the Emperor, the look-alike, who was actually Amidala's former Handmaiden Sabé, fired her blaster at the Sith. Vader deflected the laser with the Force and pulled the blaster out of Sabé's hands.
In canon, Anakin notably used Force choke three times during The Clone Wars. His first use was interrogating the Separatist Geonosian leader Poggle the Lesser. Ahsoka Tano was trapped aboard a medical frigate as Clone Troopers and a padawan, infected by Geonosian brain worms, tried to kill her.
In the Clone Wars, when Palpatine became displeased with Count Dooku, he outright force choked him from half a galaxy away. This is far, far beyond what any other Sith can do. Even Darth Vader could merely force choke someone on the same ship as him, and that was with a regular human.
Jedi were forbidden from taking a political appointment. They were taught that their loyalty was to be to the Force, the Jedi Order, the Republic and to themselves, in that order. Nor they allowed to accept gifts - the latter did not include the traditional Padawan gift, given to the students by their Masters.
Grandmaster Yoda himself was capable of summoning force lightning in the form of Emerald Lightning. Galen Marek was an extremely skilled user of this Force power, even after his conversion to the light side, rivaling Darth Sidious.
