What gas can I use to incapacitate pesky heroes?
Supposing I have a room currently occupied by Jedi Knights, or some other force that I can't defeat with battle droids and brute strength. I wish to incapacitate the occupants of this room with a gas, which I will pump in using the HVAC system.
I wish to capture the intruders alive, for torment purposes. What gas can I use that will quickly incapacitate the Jedi, but that also takes the longest to kill them?
For example, if I pump VX gas into the room, the occupants with be quickly incapacitated, and killed. I wish them to pass out unconscious quickly, but still leave me a few minutes to revive them (once safely restrained) before they die.

Orthochlorobenzalmalononitrile (AKA CS gas or 'tear' gas) - it won't actually knock them out but it will definitely incapacitate them very quickly unless they happen to have full-face respirators handy.
Holding their breath won't help them (ala Messers Kenobi and Qui-gon in Ep 1) as it doesn't need to be breathed in to do it's work - it's primarily an irritant and not even Jedi Knights do their best work when their nostrils, eyes and skin feel like they are on fire!
No worries about killing them (unless they are elderly or have a pre-existing respiratory or cardiac condition) and bonus points in that it's unpleasant enough to start the torment!
