Blaster Deflection is a Light Interrupt (Used or Lost Interrupt) from Jabba's Palace.

Card Text

USED: Cancel an attempt to use a character weapon to target your character of ability > 4. LOST: If your character of ability > 4 with a lightsaber was just targeted by a blaster, use 3 Force to re-target that blaster to an opponent's character present.

Lore

A Jedi can anticipate the actions of his opponent and let the Force control his actions, causing him to effortlessly deflect an opponent's attacks.

Reviews

• Jeff Hansen, "Blaster Deflection", Neglected Card Series, Corellian Engineering Corporation (2000). Hansen prefers the defensive Used function protecting high-ability characters from lightsabers over the Lost re-target function. "Options during a battle are always good."

Rulings

• Can only re-target to opponent's character present with the original target.
• If a character (e.g. Mighty Jabba) may not be targeted by weapons, Blaster Deflection may not re-target a weapon at them.

Cancels

• An attempt to use a character weapon to target your character of ability > 4

Counterpart

• Force Field
