So my friend recently attended the Kentucky regional. And was 2-1 going into the final round with two 3point victories. He had been calling me between the matches to give me updates on how he was doing and I wished him luck as he ventured into the final round, a win and he would be in the top 4 and play for a Gencon Badge, a loss and he was heading home. An hour went by and I got the sad news that he was, in fact, defeated. He was telling me of this key moment when he ran Cad Bane deep into enemy territory and swapped in Arica to Blaster Barrage an R7, Arica, Ozzel, and Palleon. Now Palleon as you know has Ysalamiri, and they were all within 6 squares. My friend declared he was going to Blaster Barrage and named all of the targets ( the 4 that I meantioned) and the guy he was playing said he couldn't because Ysalamiri gave them all force immunity. Now I see how this could work.... Because you have to target the characters with Blaster Barrage, but at the same time I thought Lightsaber Assault worked against force immuned characters? It was a critical point b/c he had a chance to do 40 damage to Ozzel, and Palleon, kill the R7, and a possible 60 to Arica (he had Moff Nyna Calixte in his group) And of course he wins the next initiative round, which would have given him the chance to kill Ozzel, Palleon and Arica, which would've changed the outcome of the game completely. Now my friend didn't call a judge over, which is totally his fault, but it has just been bothering me as to whether or not it works? So the question is.... Can you Blaster Barrage someone with Force Immunity?

You can Blaster Barrage against characters with Force Immunity.
However, was Arica within 6 as well, because Ysalimari would prevent Arica from spending Force Points.

As Sithborg said, if you are within 6 of a character with Ysalimiri, you can't spend Force Points, but to answer your question:
Here is a list that I made up a long time ago that clearly states which force powers can and can't be used against characters with force immunity. This list is updated through Masters of the Force.
Yes-(force power boosts attacker's stats and abilities) Aing-Tii Flow Walking Battle Meditation Blaster Barrage Control Minds Dark Temptation Dispassionate Killer Force Leap Force Valor Force Weapon Indiscriminate Rage Knight Speed Lightsaber Assault Lightsaber Precision Lightsaber Sweep Lightsaber Throw Master Speed Overwhelming Force Sith Rage Use the Force Whirlwind Attack
No-(Deal damage directly or apply some other effect, or avoid damage) reroll saves or attacks Absorb Energy Dark Force Spirit 1 Drain Life Force Absorb Force Alter Force Blast Force Bubble Force Burst Force Defense Force Grip Force Heal Force Lightning Force Push Force Repulse Force Sense Force/Light Spirit Force Storm Force Strike Force Stun Force Thrust Force Whirlwind Illusion Jedi Mind Trick Levitation Lightsaber Block Lightsaber Defense Lightsaber Deflect Lightsaber Reflect Lightsaber Riposte Pawn of the Dark Side Sever Force Shockwave Sith Grip Sith Hatred Sith Hunger Sith Lightning Sith Sorcery Transfer Essence Unleash the Force
Shatterpoint and Force Corruption can be both, depending on the timing. You can't target a character with Force Immunity, but if they are targeted and THEN become Force Immune, they will still be affected.
