When Kylo Ren is talking with the First Order leadership about his alliance with Palpatine, one of the Generals questions his motives, prompting Kylo to force choke the poor guy, before flinging him into the ceiling.

This is an obvious callback to a similar scene from A New Hope, where Vader force chokes the disobedient Admiral Motti (Richard LeParmentier) for calling him out.

In what actually passes for restraint on the part of J.J. Abrams, though, he didn't have Kylo quip, "I find your lack of faith disturbing."
