I think it is used to show how close to the Dark Side Luke really was. He shows up at Jabba's palace all dressed in black and uses the Force choke. But one big different is that he didn't use it to kill the gamorrean guard, just to disable him.

The dark side is a part of the Force, canonically growing in strength by the time of AOTC. Lightning, as an example, is a dark side power no matter what you use it for.

Really? Plo Koon didn't feel as such.

Luke implanted a naked image of Cher into their brains. The guards' reaction is simply them trying not to vomit.

I've seen this topic tossed up from time to time. I think it shows not only how Luke was very much in danger of falling but how he takes a...what's his view of the Force called? How it's not the Force powers, it's how you use them, how they're not inherently light or dark but are used for light or dark.

It's also symbolic of Luke's determination, and progression in his training.

In ANH he's all in white, an idealistic young man who simply wants to help people.

In TESB he's becoming conflicted; what seemed like a fairly simple world is now a whole lot more complex. He wears grey.

And, finally, in ROTJ, Luke has decided what he wants, and wears solid black to represent that he's made up his mind and means business.
