Instead of making its normal attack or attacks, a character using this Force power can make one attack against an enemy within 6 squares, ignoring the Melee Attack restriction. This counts as a nonmelee attack for purposes of effects such as Lightsaber Deflect and Molecular Shielding.
No, because it ignores the Melee attack restriction

i see this is the definition for lightsaber throw but gmy has
Lightsaber Throw 3
Force 3, replaces turn: Choose 1 enemy within line of sight, ignoring cover. Make an attack against the chosen enemy and against each character adjacent to that enemy.
doesnt say anything about it being a non melee

No, because it ignores the Melee attack restriction Does that mean you can Parry, Block, Makashi Style, or Djem-So (as long as the attacker is adjacent) it because those abilities are not mentioned in the above definition?

1. Lightsaber Throw is considered a non-Melee Attack, and should be considered as such when checking to see if there are any abilities/powers that affect it. This is covered in the FAQ.
2. Lightsaber Throw 3 has no range limitation.

Thought:
Stormtrooper is within 6, is the only enemy within 6.
LS3 has Line of Sight range, ignoring cover, the same as LS5.
GMY can therefore Ataru-LS3 on Vader who is 20 squares away in cover, with the Twin Attack and +4 bonus, because of the Stormtrooper.
Ataru Style does not say that the TARGET has to be the only enemy within 6... :)

I'm just a little suprised that GMY doesn't have MOTF 2. But he is still good without it.

It follows targetting rules, but no character is considered to have cover when determining a target for Lightsaber Throw, meaning you can target anyone you can see.

Does this mean if you have one or more of your own characters based against the target of LS Throw 3, that you have to attack your own characters, as well as the enemy characters? I understood it as making attacks was a choice, so you could elect who to and who not to attack.
