[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8954722, member: 18"] To be problematic Hutts would need to be real, and/or coded as if a real-life ethnicity or culture or the like. Which they aren't (unlike a lot of SW stuff). You might sort of make a fairly big stretch and claim they were Arab-coded, but you have to work pretty hard, esp. in more recent portrayals. It's totally blockable. Jedi block it repeatedly in Clone Wars, Rebels, and there's an entire part of one of the Legends episodes where Ahsoka Tano learns to block super-good by being shot at by a bunch of Clone Troopers with blasters set to stun. So that's been extremely well-covered by the animated series. Shotguns would be completely trivial to Jedi - they've got precognition and telekinesis. That's the basic "All Jedi have this" loadout. Deflecting extremely light projectiles which have far less kinetic energy than a normal human punch (look it up if you don't believe me - that's why even a child can handle the uncompensated recoil of a 12ga - I used to use one at 10 for example, and I was so small at 10 that when my dad recently looked at a picture of me at that age he thought I was 7 or 8 lol - I got fairly tall around 14-16), would not tax them in any way. They'd just use the Force Neo-style rather than using their lightsabers. Pretty sure at least one of the cartoons features a Jedi Force-deflecting a projectile weapon. [/QUOTE]
