Eh? I don't really see a half trained Jedi being able to manipulate the Force in such a controlled way. I don't think you're realizing that you can't just use the Force to do whatever you want. You can't just think of catching someone and do it. You would have to manipulate the air currents around them or catch the object itself with a delicate enough grip not to shatter it ( if an inanimate object ) or injure it ( if it's a living being ).
Given Vader was unable to catch Luke when he chose to let himself fall I'd imagine its pretty difficult to catch a moving and living target without injuring it. Not saying Vader would be incapable of such a feat but its obvious he was unable to do so after a long drawn out fight where he'd been injured.
Unless you want to mark that one down to PIS.
