Choking someone high is a weird concept. Requires unneccesary arm strength (unless you're a jedi, in which case you levitate them like a baby), and it forces them to look down on you

    I'm pretty sure that the first part is exactly why it became a movie trope: to show that the choker is an unnecessarily strong monster of an adversary.

    As for looking down on their assailant, I'm thinking the lack of feet to ground contact rids people of any accidentally perceived superiority 😁

    I get that in the context of the choker not having super powers, but in the context of a jedi it makes no sense because it's clearly not arm or hand strength:

    I'm going to levitate you gently like an infant and then compress your windpipe with my mind, but my soft leather hand is there as a visual cue, and I will gaze lovingly up into your deep baby blues

    It just doesn't feel the same
