Mangled cannon queries

By Grimhorus, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hi everyone, just a quick question about mangler cannon. If I shoot with a mangled cannon and get 2x crits and a hit does that mean I can turn the last hit to a critical as well?

I'm sure this has been asked before but I wanted to check it out in current rulings.

Yes, you can turn [boom][kaboom][kaboom] into [kaboom][kaboom][kaboom] with a Mangler Cannon.

You can think of the Mangler cannon hit->crit modification as a token that you can choose to spend at any point in the "Attacker Modifies Attack Dice" step.

Say you get [kaboom][kaboom][blank] and spend a Target Lock to reroll the [blank]. If that comes up [eye] you can now spend a Focus token to turn that [eye] into a [boom], and then you can use the Mangler Cannon to turn that [boom] into a [kaboom].
