The counter to choking the protags as a relevant feat is the fact if he could do it at will, he'd have won that battle but since he lost, his force edge wasn't decisive. But yes, it does show, albeit in an abstract way, that he's powerful, but that is kinda obvious already.His feat is equivalent as if he could sustain 10k-15k tons of matter with tk against 1G gravity, in a very (I'd say extremely, since I used all the lowest numbers for my variables) conservative estimate. I'll need to do some calculations on Vader's cathedral feat, because this feat has the potential to surpass that.
While it wasn't decisive over the entire team, and I've never claimed it to be so, it still stands as an example of him having a decisive edge over the individual members of that team. It doesn't merely show that he's powerful, it shows that he's powerful enough to ragdoll the Barsen'thor who was crumpling massive blast doors far from her prime, or Nox who is empowered by 5 force ghosts and clowned Thanaton, or the Wrath who defeated a dark side god and several Dark Council members.
Cool.

Certainly less people believe in it now, lol. But if you still have a case, let's hear it.
You've already heard it. It's a scripted event that the developers intended to happen in the fight and as such is not merely a gameplay mechanic. The games narration says that it occurs.

Oh, please. He has the guys of substance in helpless Choke-holds, but decides to play tag with the last guy (and fails) instead of plunging his saber into their hapless bodies?Not to mention that if you come in with three people, he only Chokes two, and if you come in with two people, he only Chokes one. Seems like the number of enemies he can Choke is equal to the number of enemies he's fighting minus one. In which case, it's zero here 😂
There's no indication he had the "guys of substance" in force chokes and I doubt he would have chosen to do anything. The remaining member was merely good enough that Malgus couldn't have finished off the held ones and was forced to fight them instead of doing that.
That much is a gameplay mechanic. But the fact remains that he can perform the feat at it's best capacity, so we can accept the feat at that point. Besides, I think that it is canon that the Republic or Empire sent teams of their greatest champions to stop him.
