The attacks Galen unleashed at her were more than enough for her to drop him from the whirlwind. Wrapping the Force around herself, Mara managed to dodge the lightning and the lightsaber, tumbling safely out of the way and coming up in a crouch. Clenching her jaw, Mara would need to step things up if she was going to overpower Galen. However, she was first pushed backwards by the Push, then pulled back forward, but she managed to stop herself, staying in a crouch. All right, she was going to break that hold the Dark side was putting on Galen if it was the last thing she'd do.
She didn't want to hurt Galen, but she wasn't seeing how to get out of this without inflicting some pain on him. It wouldn't be difficult for her to gain the upper hand in this as she was older and far more experienced with the Force. And even with the attacks he had unleashed, Mara still did not draw her weapons. No, she was only going to use the Force as long as she could get away with it. If Galen got his lightsaber back and attacked, she'd draw hers, but not before.
So this time, Mara sent a powerful Force wave at Galen, intending to throw him against the building behind him. It would be enough to knock the wind out of him, giving her a chance to try speaking again, but she kept herself at the ready for a counterattack. Despite the lightning not having been tinged so dark, Mara still didn't like it.
