STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Lost, Confused

Can I signal the droids to come in and then be brazen and go and find these people?

You certainly can! You get a "Roger, roger," over the comlink and the droids will be here in a few moments.

You can sense you are being watched.

Do i know where from? If it is via a camera, can I see it? Or can I see the person?

Your supernatural intuition says the watcher is in a closet nearby.

can edna stand back and open the door with the force.

Easily!

You yank the door open rather harder than you intend, tearing it off its hinges and sending it crashing into a table. Sometimes you still have trouble being subtle when you use your powers.

In any case, two men emerge from the closet with blaster rifles shortly after and open fire!

Can I rip the blasters from their hands with the force?

It would be a point spent on Combat Push to render them unarmed.

Would I have enough time to ignite my lightsabre and deflect the blaster bolts instead?

With the power Swiftness, a Jedi can draw his lightsaber in the blink of an eye- so yes! Any other efforts that Edana wishes to make not to be hit?

I could dash back towards the doorway I came in through just to get to a vantage point where I at least have a little cover.

Certainly!

So it is that Edana has quickly retreated to the doorway and lit her lightsaber when the men open fire. She is rather good at defending herself, but these guys aren't like the thugs you dispatched earlier.

Both men are firing big blasters into your cover, heavy assault rifle-type hardware. One man manages to take chunks out of the door frame and hits you for 5 damage.

Your droids will arrive on Turn 5.

Do I not have a lightsabre pool of 10 with my orthodox guard? (could be wrong. I clearly have no idea what I am talking about!).

ok enough hiding in the doorway. Can I lift the table or door that I pulled off with the force and fling it towards the the two hitmen while i charge towards them with my lightsabre. Might aswell just go in for the kill really. Am I able to block as I move forward?

My mistake, you should be at 10, yes.

And your Defense is always running unless you do something to turn it off (i.e. tap the schtick, swap it out, voluntarily turn it off) or if you are performing an activity that leaves you exposed (i.e. operating a computer, cutting down a door).

Hurling the door is going to be a Bombard- want to spend the point? Since the hitmen are close together, I can rule it as an attack on both.

I actualy didn't mean the hurling the door as an offensive maneuvre, just a distraction. It doesn't even need to go anywhere near them. Just distract their attention while I am on the move.

That would be an action to perform in lieu of a lightsaber attack.

Oh I'll just go straight in with the lightsabre attack then and hope for the best!

Initiative goes to Edna on a roll of 6 to 5! She rushes forward suddenly and swings her blade at the first hitman. These gunner-types don't seem to have much idea for defending themselves up-close. You roll two 6s and two 4s with an Orthodox Guard conversion, for four successes! Adding that to the base damage of her lightsaber, Edna deals 10 points of damage as her lightsaber nearly cuts into the Hitman but he stumbles backward just in time.

Out of cover, Edna is not as well protected when both men open fire in retaliation. Each is wielding a heavy rifle with a base damage of 4, and they roll two successes each for a total of 12 damage.

Edna recalls some of what Kuylen taught her and deflects those shots away with some effort.

Your droids will arrive on Turn 5.

Ok you'll have to forgive me as I'm a bit confused. Did Edna deflect the blaster fire or not? You seem to say she did but she still took damage. I don't really get it.

Also you still have me down as a lightsabre pool of 9 which we already said should be 10. Not sure if that actually makes any difference.
