IIRC, in the movie when the guards drop they're still squirming, more like he gave them a good jolt to the throat rather then crushing it.

They fall back, grabbing their throats, then still after a few seconds

It cuts away while they're still moving, actually.

Vader?

Lightsnake Senior Member

He sure held it on Motti. The only time he didn't was when he choked someone miles away. That seems pretty damn powerful.

Darth Traya Antediluvian

He was still choking Jerjeroff when he put his hand down.

Lightsnake Senior Member

vader never touched Jerjerod...

Darth Traya Antediluvian

Um, yes he did. Watch A New Hope again...

Lightsnake Senior Member

JerJerod wasn't IN a New Hope

Darth Traya Antediluvian

I thought Jerjeroff was that guy who mocked the force? Or was that someone else?

Lightsnake Senior Member

Oh, him....Jerjerod is the one who tells Vader he needs more men in ROTJ, you're thinking of Admiral Motti.

Yeah, Vader's the only other one besides Luke to do that, then.

Darth Traya Antediluvian

Ah, thanks.

I think you can do it, the movements are just for dramatic effect.

Lightsnake Senior Member

ard to say...Maul did it in Shadow Hunter and kept his fist until the guy died. People seem to need to gesture to focus the Force

Darth Traya Antediluvian

It could be for dramatic neccessity.

Lightsnake Senior Member

If that were so, people wouldn't need to save arms to use force pushes...even Yoda needs to

Darth Traya Antediluvian

I suppose so.

Question about the force powers: Maul only displayed approx 1 force power: Push *that is actually canon* while luke displayed at least 6(cloak, choke, pull, jump, accuracy, rage, etc)

If you're talking about Ep. 1, which I assume you are because you clearly couldn't be talking about the books where he uses the Force all the time in many different ways, then Lord Maul actually uses more than just the "Force Push" technique against Padawan Kenobi and Master Jinn in the film.

In the hanger scene, Lord Maul hurriedly but confidently back pedals away from the Hanger and the Jedi and quickly points at a far projectile on the floor with 2 fingers (the index and middle) then quickly points at a hanger door panel, flinging the debris towards the panel, destroying it and opening the doors. Cool scene he does it with a fierce look on his face.

Point is, is that Lord Maul uses Force in more ways than "approx 1".

Lord Maul effortlessly defeats Luke with hood on and only one side of his lightsaber hilt lit.

No. ROTJ Luke has hardly any training and is fairly crap.

Maul has a shedload more training than him. Not only that, Luke has never seen a double lightsabre before. He'll probably die within a few seconds.

What does that matter he went up against Darth Vader and won without a whole lot of effort
