Her vibroblade stopped a hand span from his throat as he managed to grab her hair (2) and drag her face nearer and nearer to his lightsaber. She struggled to pull back, hacking at him with the shoto but blocked by his dwindling Force power each time.Her vibroblade grazed his neck. He fumbled in his belt for a dart. (3)"
Originally posted by Jinsoku TakaiNo sarcasm, I just don't seem to understand if he doesn't have three hands...how does that fight work? Unless he's reaching for the dart with the Force... (Never read the book).
This is a joke, right? Admittedly, I'm not that great at detecting sarcasm. with that being said, if you and Ares are serious, I urge you to re-read and interpret with a logical mindset.
One hand is holding the lightsaber that is keeping her from killing him with the vibroblade.
One hand is holding the hair, (because AFTER it says he reaches for a dart, it says: "She jerked back with a massive effort, leaving him clutching a handful of red hair."
One hand reaches for the dart.
Clearly 3 hands. Anyone arguing otherwise isn't reading with any amount of comprehension.
In the duel with Caedus, Mara was Jason Bourne and if Caedus didn't resort to his dart or Force trick, Mara would have killed him. She was his superior in lightsaber and hand-to-hand.
Jango would be unfamilar with a savage fighter like Mara. Someone who got to knife-fighting range on a Sith and nearly defeated him would confuse Jango. She wouldn't fight like a Jedi and that's the X factor. We have to remember that she kicked Nom Anor's ass - a YV. That is something I'm pretty sure Jango couldn't do.

Do you honestly believe that WE believe that Caedus literally sprouted a third hand?
Originally posted by HewhoknowsallIt doesn't specifically.
As mattatom said, he could've been reaching for the dart with the Force.Or did it specify that he was using his hands?
Originally posted by truejediTrue that was my thought, but then I can't remember where I read it but it's alot harder to manipulate somethign small with the Force, so trying to get a dart out while fighting Mara and almost dead, poor choice of words for the writer?
it said he fumbled with a dart in his belt.Does fumbling with a dart sound like force use?
The word fumble brings about the visual image of fingers.
The lightsaber was blocking the vibroblade until after Mara pulls back and draws the vibroblade up, this is AFTER he fumbled for the dart.
I'm not inclined to believe he used the force for the dart, simply because it doesn't mention so. Also, it refers to his force power as "weakening," Because the force was the only thing blocking Mara's attacks with the shoto.
