Interestingly enough, Vader did this without having a visual of the captain. All he had was radio communication.

and it made me wonder- Has anyone else in canon or legends shown the ability to Force choke an opponent from a distance without being able to at least see them in hologram form?

NewGuy01
Yes. Barriss did.

Galan007
Yeah, Barriss choked out Letta Turmond without having a visual, and Palpatine did the same to a couple Mandalorians just before engaging Maul/Savage.

Vader's range was pretty impressive in that scene, though(with no visual.)

Lord Stark
Didn't Dooku also force choke that guy on Oba Diah without a visual?

Total Warrior
Nah he saw him

Granted Sidious choked Dooku rom half the galaxy away but he still had a visual of him. Vader didnt even have a visual of that captain and still choked him from a planetary distance.

Why would it matter, though?

Fair enough. I thought it was another post to say why this character is stronger than the rest.

I'm sure someone like Palpatine could duplicate that showing, though. /shrug
