wouldn't his field negate force attacks though?
So all Vader has to do is constrict the Force around Aquarian's neck, and *poof*, he's strangled to death.

But that's what ki is.

Yes, but by a totally different mechanism. The Aquarian's null field only negates energy above a certain level - not ALL heat is negated, otherwise he'd freeze; not all light, otherwise he'd be blind; not ALL sound, otherwise he'd be deaf etc etc.
So if he just stood there, Aunt May could walk up to him and burn him with a candle, but not a flamethrower (as an example; the energy level of a candle may well be too high). Penguin could walk up to him and strangle him, but would be unable to punch him. Think of the field as similar to Dune's Holtzman shields - to bypass it, you need to go slow on the attack.
Aquarian HAS been strangled before (and his field was still operative even when unconscious) so Vader doing a choke would be within reason, especially if Aquarian is just standing there.
A lightsabre would be useless, as would throwing things at him or force lightning, however.

Originally posted by h1a8You're not wrong.
DV can apparently use force choke from light-years away. Therefore it most likely an attack that does not travel through space but is instant. Could be wrong
When Vader uses the choke, he isn't sending a TK wave hurling at his opponent's neck or w/e. He is precisely manipulating/constricting the Force around their trachea.

He almost always holds out his hand and visably puts deliberate effort into it.Which implies it takes more force then a kitten could put out.
Originally posted by cdtmThe hand gesture thing is primarily inserted for visual purposes -- so that we, the audience, know what ability he's using... He doesn't need to use hand gestures at all, though:

That said, even if Vader *had* to use hand gestures to preform the choke, that certainly doesn't mean he's putting some great deal of effort into it:

...And loads of other examples. As abilities go, Vader's choke is about as casual as it gets.
