While I have and will back Vader, this is incorrect. Galen Marek and his clone, Starkiller, prove themselves to be far more powerful than Vader when, much like Luke, enraged by emotion. Pre-Mustafar Vader would have been able to swat aside much of what they had to throw at him but Cyborg Vader, despite being a far more finessed fighter than his younger self, is vulnerable to such brutal Force attacks due to his diminished ability to connect to and manipulate the Force with the severe injuries his defeat by Obi-Wan Kenobi left him with.

However, on the topic of "Force multi-tasking," every Jedi and Sith is multi-tasking all the time in battle, whether it be for defence or attack. They are constantly in tune and in communication with their surroundings. Vader demonstrates this on several occasions, whether it be during the Battle of Kamino against Starkiller when he throws multiple objects at his opponent whilst Force Jumping and manipulating numerous other machines.

Perhaps the best example of such Jedi/Sith multi-tasking is that throughout his time interviewing, manipulating and then electrofrying Luke on the Second Death Star, Emperor Palpatine is simultaneously using Battle Meditation to control the moral, loyalty and performance of his imperial navy. It is when Vader kills the Emperor that the Battle of Endor is lost for the Empire, not when Lando and Wedge destroy the Death Star. This is because it revealed that the command structure of the Imperial fleet since the death of Tarkin relied too heavily on sheer weight of numbers and Sidious' technique and once he was killed, the imperial fleet, which still vastly outnumbered the Rebel forces of Ackbar, disintegrated and fled in all directions.

However, as even Yoda demonstrated in AOTC, it takes effort and concentration to catch a falling structure of any size.

But I would just say that why does Vader need to stop Master Hand from falling? He could just Force Jump out of the way and throw his lightsabre to remove a finger or thumb.
