I"m no expert in SWM, but according to the glossary, there is a parenthetical "provided that enemy can choose this character as a target." Now someone with more experience will have to tell me whether that means a character like C-3PO can still force fire in cover if he is not the nearest target. I would imagine if the attacker has accurate shot, that he can definitely force the draw fire.

A: Draw Fire can be used to divert any attack, special ability, or Force power that uses the legal target rules to determine who can be affected. (The legal target rules can be found in the Choosing Your Target section of the Attacks and Damage chapter of the rulebook.) Draw Fire can divert an attack, special ability, or Force power only if the character with Draw Fire is also a legal target for it.

For example, all normal attacks (by characters with or without Melee Attack) use the legal target rules, so they can be diverted with Draw Fire. Force Grip, Force Lightning, Kouhun Infestation, and Grenades use the legal target rules, so they can be diverted. Blaster Barrage uses the legal target rules, so the individual attacks of the Blaster Barrage can be diverted.

In contrast, Lightsaber Sweep does not use the legal target rules (you make an attack against every adjacent enemy), so the attacks of a Lightsaber Sweep cannot be diverted. Emperor Palpatine's Force Storm does not use the legal target rules (it affects every adjacent character), so it cannot be diverted. Attacks of opportunity do not use the legal target rules (they affect the moving character), so they cannot be diverted. An enemy's movement is not governed by the legal target rules, so Draw Fire can never force an enemy to move to C-3P0 (for example) instead of another character.

Thanks everyone. He still won though, but never got to use draw fire.
