Forgive me if this has been asked, but my search-fu is weak.
Can crack gunner be used to attack a superstealth/cloaked character who has cover? My thought is not, as the target would not be a legal target, but I'm not 100% sure since that could be considered "preventing" an attack.

I would say it still needs to be a legal target, so no. With the whole "prevent" they were referring to abilities such as Draw Fire/Bodyguard. "Glossary Text" wrote:
When this character combines fire with adjacent allies with Mounted Weapon, it grants the stated bonus to Damage on that attack. Enemies cannot use abilities such as Parry or Lightsaber Block to avoid that damage, Damage Reduction has no effect, and abilities such as Draw Fire or Bodyguard cannot change the target of the attack or redirect its damage. Likewise, abilities that reflect damage back to the attacker have no effect against that attack. Crack Gunner does not affect damage from effects that are not attacks, such as Force Lightning.

Crack Gunner is used when the character combines fire with an adjacent ally who has Mounted Weapon. IF the attacking character is somehow to ignore cover to target a Cloaked enemy, then Crack Gunner can be used. However, in most cases, the Cloaked figure in cover won't be able to be targetted.
What Crack Gunner is realy good for is getting around defensive abilities like Evade, Soresu, Lightsaber Deflect/Defense etc.
