Author	Topic: Did Vader give Lando a little choke?
FirstStarWars Registered: Nov '01	Date Posted: 7/4 2:41pm Subject: Did Vader give Lando a little choke?
	Did Vader give Lando a little force choke on cloud city? As a kid I thought so. It's when Vader is in the elevator and talking to Lando about giving Han to the bounty hunter. Lando doesn't really say much more and has a funny look on his face after Vader says "pray I don't alter it" -----signature----- You Don't Know Braff!

	Nope, it was simply a threat. Lando knew of Vader's reputation by that point, so when Vader threatened him, Lando wisely backed off. -----signature----- Will do moose stuff for money.

	Yeah, I don't think he did the choke. Lando was just scared as hell. -----signature----- QueenArdnassak is my insane e-girlfriend. Sith Warrior in the "SWC: Acolytes of Darkness" Dark Side Points: 55

	I don't see anything in the movie that would indicate a choke. That looks like artistic licensing on the part of Donald F.

	I don't think Vader gave just "little chokes". That wasn't his style. I think Lando was just scared because Vader was in total control of the situation by then and was threatening to change their deal even further. -----signature----- Banana! Banana! Ooh! Ooh! Give it to Kiki?

	If you go back and watch, you'll see Lando raise his hand to his throat, in that "ive just been slightly choked" kind of way. So, yes, Vade did give Lando a slight choke. -----signature----- Lover of Yellow lightsabers, Eater of Ewoks, Shaver of Wookies and Lover of Twi'lek women

That's a sign of stress. My grandma does that whenever she's worried about someone. It doesn't mean Darth Vader is choking her. -----signature----- Banana! Banana! Ooh! Ooh! Give it to Kiki?

	Perhaps the Gamorrean guards at the start of ROTJ were also stressed when Luke entered -----signature----- They are not "songs", they are "tracks" or "cues" ROTJ - "It has a nice mix of muppets and patricide that you don't see very often" - Darthboba Everybody knows that the bird is the word!

	Employment at Jabba's had...um, a high turnover rate. No doubt it was stressful. -----signature----- Banana! Banana! Ooh! Ooh! Give it to Kiki?

	I ssem to recall that the actual scene of Vader choking Lando as a warning was in the Marvel comic adaptation as well as the novel, but I can't be sure. I've always taken that gesture of Lando raising his hand to his neck as a sort of flinch, indicating either that he knows what he's in for, or that he's already received a definite warning. Whether or not there was a scene shot of Vader giving him a brief Force choke, I don't know. It certainly would have fit in quite well as part of a running joke - once Lando's finally escaped Vader & tries to help the Rebels, the first thing Chewie does is, yes, choke the hell out of him. The look on Lando's face after Chewie lets go is priceless in that context. -----signature----- "First you must fill your head with wisdom. Then you can hit ice with it."

Some are definate physiological responses, such as increased heart rate and respiration, others are just how people respond. Some examples would be biting nails, twisting earlobes, wringing of the hands, getting shaky, or the example you listed. So, based on your logic, when Solo was shaking after Leia freed him from the carbonite, he wasn't suffering hibernation sickness, he was just stressed, that,s all. Vader used the Force to slightly constrict Lando's trachea, sending him a message about who's in charge. -----signature----- Lover of Yellow lightsabers, Eater of Ewoks, Shaver of Wookies and Lover of Twi'lek women

	I'm still not convinced. Whenever did Vader just "warn" someone? I mean, he wasn't that type of guy. You don't get a reputation like his when you warn people. He didn't warn Lando that he never planned on keeping his side of the deal in the first place. Considering the torture they went through at the hands of Vader, him just giving Lando a "little choke" is rediculous. There just really isn't anything that proves that this is more then a viewer's imaginative elaboration. -----signature----- Banana! Banana! Ooh! Ooh! Give it to Kiki?

Vader's words were enough of a warning for Lando... no "little choke" necessary or given.

	I think Lando just felt his world was closing in on him. Like he was being suffocated. -----signature----- What I posted was true......from a certain point of view.
