Regional incoming. Questions about whether or not certain elements of the game are 'required' to happen. So, here goes:

1) If an Event card is played and a player has an Interrupt effect on the board, is it required to occur? As in, if I forget about my own Interrupt, is my opponent required to point it out?

2) If an Event card is played and a player has a Reaction effect on the board, is it required to occur? As in, if I forget about my own Reaction, is my opponent required to point it out?

3) If I attack with Han, is my opponent required to point out the Reaction ability if I don't notice it?

4) If my Han would be damaged and I have a Guardian on the board, is my opponent required to point out Protect?

I know that there are 'Forced Reactions' which I believe HAVE to happen, but I'm curious whether or not non-Forced Reaction Reactions HAVE to occur (same for Interrupts and other abilities). I'm just curious how much 'hand holding' is required or if it is all on the players ability to make sure their effects/abilities occur.

I think anything that isn't forced can be missed if the player who controls it forgets to trigger it. You almost certainly don't have to make the opponent aware of all their options, but alerting them to possibilities can have some strategic value.

Reactions and Interrupts that are not "Forced" only happen if the player controlling the card opts to use them. If your opponent chooses not to use them (whether by design or on accident), you are not required to point out to them their different options any more than you're required to point out to them that you have a card on table that would make it a bad idea for them to do something.
