Undead RVD, I'm sorry. So horribly sorry. I was wrong. I thought I was right, and I was so terribly, terribly wrong. I thought that your arguments couldn't possibly get any weaker, but I was wrong.

First off, you are correct in saying that the disarming spell cannot shut down any electronic devices. However, and enchantment that can easily be performed by Voldemort that not only would send an EMP style blast through the room, but would do so to any electric device that steps within the boundaries of the enchantment. And the maximum boundaries expand to an area the size of the entire Hogwarts grounds(which means a large amount of space). For equipment, Vader and his storm troopers are screwed. You don't believe me that such a spell exists? Read the fourth Harry Potter book, and I garantee you'll find it. Dude. ANY spell can be used non-verbally. While the spell could be dodged, Vader's life support would need to be working properly, which it wouldn't if Voldemort performed the "EMP" enchantment, and of course the killing curse cannot be blocked. As for getting choked and lacking the necessary concentration, the requirment for it is always way overrated. If Voldy's about tewnty-five seconds into choking, he might have trouble, but I've seen how slow those force chokes are. If you look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI6rmdRkf78&feature=related the first five seconds, (from 0:29 to 0:34) are hardly worse than the threshold of holding your breath. I have held my breath to the point of endurance several times before, and have been able to think quite clearly. If I can think clearly during the last five seconds of the highest point of tolerance of holding your breath which is approximately equivalent to the first five seconds of Vader's force choke, then so can Voldemort(the reason I know this is because I've actually choked pretty badly before). Five seconds is plenty of time for the dark lord to shoot a curse at Darth Vader while he's trying to choke him. Even supposing that there was some level of distraction, he'd still be able to do it. Ever hear of a wizard's inability to perform spells because they don't have the concentration? In the Harry Potter world, that ONLY happens among student wizards. For adult wizards, advanced non-verbal magic is a snap. In the sixth book, Dumbledore is extremely weak, and see's Draco Malfoy rushing in. Despite how weak he is, and how distracted he is, he is still able to perform a non-verbal full-bodybind curse on Harry, to whom he was not paying any attention at the moment. For those of you saying, "that didn't happen!" that's because you're basing your picture of the scene off of the movie instead of the book. Dumbledore is regarded as being equally matched with Voldemort, so casting a curse during the first five seconds of being choked by Darth Vader won't be a problem for the Dark Lord. Voldemort has this in the bag.
