Vader with Blue Saber?
On page 287, it seems to signify that Darth Vader uses a blue lightsaber during his battle with Luke and Leia. According to this quote:

"'No,' Vader assured him, 'no. You overestimate yourself child.'  The Dark Lord drew himself up to his full, awesome height.  'I have finished playing with you.'

"Swinging his saber until it was no more than a blue blur in the dank air of the temple, he leaped straight up into the air. It was more than a jump, less than levitation.  Out of th blue circle of energy he flung the saber.

"Instinctively--he had no time to think--Luke parried. The Force inherent in the thrown saber knocked Luke's out of his hand.  Both weapons flew off to the right and lay, still gleaming, still activated, on the ground, near a dark circular opening that gaped back in the floor."

According to these paragraphs, specifically the middle paragraph, it seems that Vader is using a blue lightsaber. Did Luke and Vader switch sabers earlier in the battle somehow? I have looked but did not read of any such exchange. Or is the "blue blur, blue circle of energy" simply a mistake, or was Vader actually using a blue saber and not his traditional red saber?

When luke was fighting the Coway and he was pinned down the first time, luke freed himself when he bit the creature's member. What exactly did luke bite?
