One of the most commonly used lightsaber techniques in Star Wars is a Jedi's ability to block and deflect incoming blaster bolts. However, it's never really discussed in the movies or shows beyond a Jedi having to generally "trust in the Force". That said, there is a definitive explanation for the impressive Jedi ability in the established Star Wars canon, going beyond mere reflexes. Blocking blasterfire with a lightsaber is first seen in A New Hope when Obi-Wan Kenobi trains Luke Skywalker aboard the Millennium Falcon. Placing a helmet over the young boy's head, Luke is instructed to no longer trust his eyes and to trust in the Force while a training droid fires stun bolts. Showing promise, Luke successfully blocks a handful of shots, a move that would go on to be seen by many Jedi across the Star Wars timeline
