Star Wars - Question - Velocity

Blasters in the Legends continuity are explicitly stated to be particle beams which travel at the speed of light.

^ Force adepts can react to shots from blasters from just metres away and in a nanosecond. It's been calc'ed at FTL.

A Legends novel explicitly states that MagnaGuards have Relativistic+ reactions and the Legends AOTC novelization explicitly stated that Dooku delivers a stroke swifter than light. And given the other speed of light to FTL feats for even vastly inferior Jedi/Sith, it is unlikely to be mere hyperbole.

Then there is this calc giving Malak FTL attack speed.

Three MFTL+ feats:

Matthew also has a nice collection of quotes explicitly stating blasters to be speed of light and Jedi/Sith being capable of easily reacting to and deflecting them (in as little as a nanosecond). Kindly refer this thread. Refer post #48 onward please.
