Blaster
Q: Does Blaster use the normal targeting rules?
A: Yes.
Q:.Does Blaster count as a nonmelee attack for something like Lightsaber Deflect or Evade?
A: No. It counts as a melee attack, and Parry and Lightsaber Block would be applicable defenses.

As explained above, GG DAC is a character with Melee Attack whether he is using Blaster or not. Various defenses work against characters with Melee Attack and those continue to work. Note however, Riposte and Djem So appear on characters with Melee Attack themselves, so they're still limited to using these attacks against adjacent enemies.
CloakedLightsaber RiposteI definately wouln't try hurting yourself with these rulings. There will be an errata coming out to address this and then you will have to learn again. Think of these rulings as a temporary bandaid. They are what they are, just don't try and hurt yourself making them make sense.
