Thats true
So, a bit more was revealed on Cade's "healing" power...
Cade says that he can "see" injuries through the Force, as little red lines and fractures in a person. He explains that he can either mend those...or exploit them and tear the person apart, as he tried doing to Darth Talon.
Scary?
What shall we name this Force power? 😛
Didn't Obi-Wan learn after Anakin to *mortal kombat voice* FINISH HIM!
With Hett though, Kenobi probably has the best listed of worthy opponents beaten in his career. He rocked Durge on Muunilist, killed Maul, beat Assajj on Ord Cestus, outclassed Grevious with lightsabers, took a few inches off Anakin, beat A'sharad. He killed Xanatos' son because he thought he was too dangerous, yet left Anakin, a freaking SITH and Hett alive?
Still, Dooku always had his number....

But Hett was no where on the road to become a Sith before Obi came and ruined his life.
He would have stayed with his people and protected them, sure a bit angry at the Universe for what had happened. But he was just staying there paying his own mind as his father had done when he was young.
Then out of nowhere Obi come, rip off Hetts arm for no reason, so that he gets abandoned by his people. Hett might have been walking somewhat close to the Dark Side, but Obi was definitely the one that pushed him over the line.
No reason? Kenobi was defending Luke's life, and the life of several other innocent moisture farmers. The only way stop the Sand People from following Hett as their warlord would be forcing them to exile him or killing him. Kenobi sincerely hoped that Hett would see the error of his ways, once he was no longer in a position of power.
Hett had already crossed to the Dark Side by that point, I feel, killing innocents like some sort of tyrant, rather than following the ways of the Jedi and negotiating a peaceful process between the Sand People and the farmers.
I do admit that this was not taking him on the path to Sithship yet, though. Kenobi's exiling him from Tatooine would have started the process, though I'm not sure Hett thought "I hate Kenobi, I should be a Sith!" quite yet.
I don't really see what he was doing as anything really bad. He was reclaiming ground that the Tusken had lost since he left. Same as Indians (native Americans) attacking Europeans after they had taken lots of Indian land.
Obi could at lea ts have tried to talk Hett into leaving some areas as "neutral ground" or "untouchable". But instead Obi one was the one who started the fight and brutally ripped off Hetts arm. There was nothing in the comic that made me think Hett wouldn't be willing to listen to Obi-Wan for any form for compromise. Hett told Obi that the farmers wouldn't stop killing Tusken, basically that he was doing a (I think this is the right English term) "preemptive strike", but then Obi decided to ignite his saber and fight instead of talking.
In any case, Hett wasn't showing up at the Lars family farm with an army of Sand People just to say hello. Kenobi knew that. Hett was there for revenge.
I do realize the comparison to Native Americans fighting against Americans taking their soil, but this is a bit different. I don't think a Jedi would support the Native Americans in killing settlers.
