see, there are a LOT of force actions mixed in there to say they had no affect on the fight.
Who said they had no affect?
I'm simply pointing out that Vader used Force attacks too and benefitted from them just as much.
If you want to downplay Galen's sword skills because he uses Force actions then you have to do the same to Vader.

The fact that Marek hit him with lightning BEFORE the final confrontation absolutely MUST be taken into account.
As MUST the fact that Vader used a Force Choke and telekinetically thrown objects, and was the first to do so.
And the fact that Galen was matching him in sabre combat BEFORE hitting him with the lightening.

And that is not the case. The fact that Galen doesn't depend entirely on his Force attacks and can match skilled opponents blade-to-blade without using them is evidence in itself.
As the quotes make clear he was beating Kota without Force attacks (as shown by the fact that Kota is taking hits). That's evidence right there.
