I'm having a mental block. His CE grants "1 immediate attack against the attacker as long as the attacker is counts as a legal target".
What are the cases it wouldn't be a legal target? When based by another enemy? Super Stealth?

Yeah, I think that you've got it. Look up Target and Targeting in the glossary. I'm not sure what needs explaining. What a legal target is?

Yeah there are so many possibilities that can cause an attacker to be an invalid target for the target, another example would be if the damage is from a non-adjacent attacker and get redirected to an ally with melee obviously they can't retaliate.

Could you have a bunch of guys with bodyguard in a line and keep redirecting the damage down the line?

No, you might want to read the BG definition again.

"if an adjecent ally would take damage from an attack this character may take the damage instead."
So why not say Luke Skywalker is adjecent to a Human Bodyguard. The HBG is also adjecent to a Twilek Bodyguard. Luke gets hit by an attack and takes 10 damage. The HBG bodyguards it and "would" take the damage from an attack right? So why can't the second bodyguard come into play?

The bodyguard is taking damage from their Bodyguard ability, not an attack. This should be covered in the FAQ.

You can't bodyguard a bodyguard with another bodyguard. I remember this in Clone Strike with Naboo Troopers and Amidala. Only one BG per damage transfer. Bucket brigade damage soaks are not permitted. You can surround a target with BG's but that target cannot have the BG spec. Ability.

This is interesting. If Fenn's CE is limited by normal targeting rules then it takes what appears to be a phenomenal CE and turns it into meh. There are too many viable squad types that nerf this CE. Too bad.
Then again, Barden Jusik's stock just went up.

And on Fenn Shysa, does he benefit from his Synergy ability if within 6 of another Mando Pro?

No, as he is not an ally to himself.

See, the "including this character" is merely reminder text (if helpful). The glossary defination of allies specifically says OTHER characters, thus anything referring to allies will never refer to the commander itself.

Instead it would say "Characters in your squad (including this character)..." My bad.
