But, Yoda is shown absorbing Palpatine's force lightning more than once. Same principle?
Are there any other occurences of blaster bolts being deflected/blocked by a Jedi/Sith/armour?
No. And, to be honest, it hadn't occurred to me to think "WTF?" about this for about a decade until this thread.

That's what I was referring to. I guess blast bolts aren't ever really deflected unless on a lightsaber. I'd have to go back and look, but don't the blasts hit Vader the same way they hit anything else that gets shot in the OT? I mean, when it hits a Stormtrooper, doesn't it give off the same flash, or no?
