Darth Vader reads
"After you perform an attack against an enemy ship, you may suffer two damage to cause that ship to suffer one critical damage."
Can the critical hit be absorbed with draw their fire since it doesn't matter if you hit with your initial attack to trigger Vader?
DtF only works if the ship is hit by an attack and Vader's ability cannot be "canceled" by dice, so no.
If I use D.V. Like crew on the Lambda and I have full shields, when I use the D.V. Card i take two hit card or remove to shield Token? Thanks you
Vader inflicts critical damage. Draw Their Fire moves a die result. Vader never generates a die result, so DTF can't do anything with it.
@Replay: Damage, even Vader's, hits shields first. That means that if you use him while your shuttle has shields you will lose 2 shields. It also means that if your target has shields, Vader will strip one of their shield tokens and NOT deal any cards, face up or otherwise.
Buhallin is correct on this.
On the other hand, proton bombs specifically say to deal 1 faceup damage card to everyone within range 1. In this case it would bypass shields. Since Vader say to deal 1 critical damage, it can be canceled.
But on DV I read "suffer damage" and not "deal damage" so I think that this pass the shield enemy and hit directly my ship. If I try to image like in a movie DV use his force to modify the structure of the enemy hull and so the enemy suffer the damages, but this intensive use of force that are generated in a point inside the shuttle need to pass the shuttle hull that suffer damages.

From page 4 of the FAQ: "Suffering damage occurs as described on pg 16 of the Core rulebook, and this damage is applied to shields first as normal." That entire paragraph ("Suffer Damage vs Deal a Damage Card") clarifies the difference between the two.
