Technically, the first time the audience sees Darth Vader use the Force to choke someone, the victim is Padme Amidala.
Anakin Skywalker began using Force chokes while he was still in his youth as a Jedi. He used it to an even deadlier effect when he assumed his Sith Lord persona, Darth Vader.
Admiral Ozzel's legacy is that Darth Vader Force-choked him to death before the Battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. As commander of Darth Vader's flagship the Executor, Ozzel was one of the first to learn that an Imperial probe droid had been destroyed on Hoth.
Electronic Arts released some very interesting numbers about Star Wars: Battlefront's Beta this weekend. The dark lord himself,Darth Vader, killed 1,379,319 players by Force-choking them to death on Walker Assault on Hoth.
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.
Of course, Vader wasn't the only Star Wars character to use a Force choke against their enemies. Many on-screen Sith and Dark Side users, including Darth Sidious, Maul, Dooku, Ventress, Savage Opress, Snoke and Kylo Ren, also used the power. Basically, every dark side user used a Force choke on someone at some point.
Vader held respect for Tarkin which is clearly shown and the only case in which Tarkin outranked Vader would be the case in which Vader was in the Death Star or within Tarkin's Oversector which he likely was as Tarkin was Grand Moff of the Outer Rim Oversector, the largest one.
1/15 Luke Skywalker
Having faced his father once before, Luke was familiar with his tactics and used the force to gain an upper-hand. In Star Wars Canon, only Luke Skywalker can be acknowledged as the one who truly defeated Darth Vader.
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.

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.
Appealing to the hate and conflict within him, Darth Sidious goaded Luke into attacking. Vader defended the Emperor and he and Luke were locked in mortal combat. Luke lost control of his anger, viciously attacking Vader, finally beating him down and chopping off his hand with his lightsaber.
By far, Skywalker's most infamous use of it was upon learning of the death of his wife, Padmé Amidala, after his transformation into Darth Vader. This caused him to involuntarily unleash a powerful Force scream of shame, rage, and grief, severely damaging the medical chamber and the droids within it.
There are several parallel hand removal scenes in the Star Wars saga, but Luke cutting off Darth Vader's hand in "Return of the Jedi" is the most obvious.
Admiral Ozzel : [appearing onscreen with Captain Piett] Lord Vader, the fleet has moved out of lightspeed and we're preparing to... Darth Vader : You have failed me for the last time, Admiral! Captain Piett?
The armor encased Vader completely, creating a seal to protect his charred skin and lungs. It was also uncomfortable to wear.
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.
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.
Much like he could use Force heal, which was an inherently light side Force power (although Star Wars has since associated it more with Force dyads), he can also use Force choke, because to him there is no difference between them.
Ben Burtt is the sound designer for the "Star Wars" movies. And to get Vader's mechanical breathing, Burtt went to a California dive shop, jammed a small microphone into a scuba regulator and started sucking air.
Who was Darth Vader's most trusted? Erv Lekauf was a lieutenant in the Imperial Army who served as Darth Vader's personal aide for several years. On a mission to Vohai in 19 BBY, Lekauf helped Vader fight the Emperor's Hand Sa Cuis, impressing the Dark Lord with his courage and loyalty.
As the situation worsened, Anakin returned to Poggle's cell alone and, when his Jedi mind trick failed, he resorted to striking and then Force choking Poggle to get the answers he needed to save Ahsoka.
His armor could be hacked and controlled by a device. In a turn of events, Darth Vader's right limb holding his dangerous scarlet lightsaber was moving of its own accord toward his neck. This was a dangerous weakness indeed.
