Can Darth Vader trigger his ability after he fails an action?
"Fail
Some effects can fail, which means the effect did not resolve as intended and
instead is resolved in a default way.
• A ship can fail when it barrel rolls, boosts, coordinates, decloaks, deploys,
jams, locks, or SLAMs.
• An effect that fails does not trigger any effects that would occur after a
ship resolves that effect.
• If an action fails, the player does not choose a different action to perform
and cannot choose to resolve the effect in a different way.
• If an action fails, since the action was not completed, that ship cannot
perform a linked action.
• After a red action fails, the ship gains a stress token." - rules reference page 11
So if vader tries to barrel roll and fails can he then use his ability to do another action?
he did not preform the action, but failing "resolves in a default way" so something resolved.
My gut is that he cannot use his ability because it says "after you preform an action" and the failed action was not preformed. this also ties into "• If an action fails, since the action was not completed, that ship cannot
perform a linked action." now vader is not a linked action but it says the action was not completed and vader needs you to preform it.
But i am not 100% on this any insight would be appreciated.
