Which goes off first, BB-8 or Lightning Reflexes? Either way, it dramatically changes where the ship ends up.

BB-8 triggers when you reveal the maneuver and Lightning Reflexes triggers after your executed the maneuver.

So it would go:

  1. Reveal the green maneuver on the dial
  2. BB-8 triggers
  3. Free barrel roll action
  4. Execute the chosen dial maneuver
  5. Lightning Reflexes triggers allowing you to spin 180 degrees.

To expand on Parravon, on this ship it would go as follows:

Corran Horn (35)
Lightning Reflexes (1)
Advanced Sensors (3)
BB-8 (2)
Corran activates
Before revealing a dial you may choose to use an action
After revealing the dial, before executing the maneuver you may choose to trigger BB-8 and Barrel Roll if your maneuver is green
Execute the maneuver, if it was white or green you may trigger Lightning Reflexes and turn 180 degrees
Check pilot stress
Gain stress from Lightning Reflexes
