Force Choke and Melee Combat

[futbolguy6]

This is a 2 part question:

1.) If Maul is engaged in Melee combat with a unit, can he use Force choke on that unit in the same turn he attacked them and did damage to that unit? Since Force Choke is not an attack technically because you can still take stand bys after using Force Choke?

2.)If Maul is engaged in Melee combat with one unit, can he use Force Choke on another unit that is within range but not in melee combat with him? Again since it is not technically an attack...

Thank you very much!

Hello, 

Force choke is not an attack, so it would not prevent the user from taking a standby action, can be used after you’ve already performed an attack action, and can be used on a unit you’re not engaged with.
