| | There is a different ability called lightsaber deflect which works against blasters. Then there is another ability called lightsaber reflect which sends the blaster bolt back to the attacker. Not many Jedi have these though. | |

| | The High defense vaule of Jedi and other Force users reflects it to a degree as well. At least that's my take on it. | |

| | Jedis have higher defense to simulate that they are blocking blaster fire. Some have deflect powers to negate ranged damage though, so you can assume that they have more skill in blocking shots. | |

| | Beat me by 5 secs Cthulhufnord. You could also assume characters like Boba Fett may have been hit but his armor stopped the shot. | |

| | two characters, darth vader, jedi hunter and coruscant guard have a move called dark armor. If your hit with a ranged attack, you can reduce 10 damage, by rolling 11 or higher. This could basically be a block for a ranged shooter that only does 10 damage. | |

Dark Armor works against all attacks except lightsabers. | | | |

| Remember that SW rpg game have a different way to place DEFENSE because is based on the defensive way a character prevents to be hit. this includes Dexterity and evasive actions like light saber blocking, and a number given by the level of the character, Armor is not included because it works as damage reduction; but in a miniature game this must be reduced to prevent game complications, for example jango or boba fett have high Defense values because they are high level characters and we know they have a nice dexterety, maybe armor was not include as a reducing damage ability to prevent over making the character, just give +2 o +3 to def. Jedis Have trained in the use of the light sabers for defense (more than in ofensive) so they have high defense values because they are blocking.
Stormtroopers are really fool but have the armor, so they recive the bonus as D&D AC bonus.
Characters with enough importance have the damage reduction as an ability like the Droideka Shields, Molecular Shielding of the big Viper Droid, or Dark armor as Darth Vader because his armor is really high and if it was included the character could have Def 25 natural. | |
