To his left, an Imperial officer (Admiral Motti) clutches his own throat, head tilted upward, face strained as Vader uses the Force to choke him from a distance. Blue-gray walls with rectangular light panels line the background. The power dynamic is absolute: one figure stands untouched while the other suffers for his insolence.","definition":"Darth Vader Force-chokes a doubter aboard the Death Star after being told his faith in the Force is misplaced.
