Han Solo and R7 Astromech

By Rinehart, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Han Solo says:

When attacking, you may reroll all of your dice. If you choose to do so, you must reroll as many of your dice as possible.

R7 says:

Once per round when defending, if you have a target lock on the attacker, you may spend the target lock to choose any or all attack dice. The attacker must reroll the chosen dice.

So, since the defender gets to modify attackers dice first, can R7 nullify Han's pilot ability. Does R7 have the opportunity to trigger before Han can choose to reroll dice.

So, let's say Han rolls Hit Blank Blank. R7 kicks in and forces a reroll of the hit. Let's say on reroll it becomes a Blank. Now, normally Han must reroll all dice to use his ability. But he cannot reroll the one R7 has forced reroll. Does this mean Han cannot reroll any dice, or because his ability says as many dice as possible, can he reroll the 2 non rerolled blanks?

I think Han would get to reroll the 2 unrerolled blanks, but do we all see this the same way? And does R7 kick in before Han can reroll? I think R7 has to have the reroll option before Han.

So, since the defender gets to modify attackers dice first, can R7 nullify Han's pilot ability. Does R7 have the opportunity to trigger before Han can choose to reroll dice.

Just want to make sure I'm following. Han is shooting a ship with R7.

The defender does get to modify dice first, so the defender could use R7 to re-roll dice before Han can. At that point Han can't re-roll again, so any dice effected by R7 are off limits to Han.

However, Han only has to re-roll all dice he can, so he could still re-roll the 2 blanks in your example, because he can't re-roll the die that was a hit and re-rolled by R7.

Yeah, that's how I worked it out too, I just wanted to get a second opinion.
