[Star Wars] How would a Jedi or Sith do against something moving faster than a blaster bolt... say ballistic missiles?

I see Luke and every other force user deflect blaster fire like it's no tomorrow. While that's impressive and everything, I think I once read they're only moving about the speed of a fast ball. So how would they fare against the speed of something like a Gatling Gun that fires a few thousand rounds a minute?

Deflecting blaster bolts is a matter of precognition, not reflexes. That's why Obi-Wan had Luke practice blinded; he needed to learn not to watch and react but to open himself to the Force's guidance. If you can do that, deflecting a blaster bolt comes naturally. The individual's dexterity and agility does come into play, because they still need to get their lightsaber between themselves and the projectile. Of course, their window to do so is several times greater than someone who isn't Force Sensitive.

As for the matter of ballistic missiles; they obviously have far greater destructive capabilities than blaster bolts and attempting to deflect one with your lightsaber is a fool's errand. But as a small, green, wise man once said, size matters not. A Jedi strong enough in the Force would feel the missile coming long before it posed any danger to them. It is not entirely implausible to imagine someone as strong as Master Yoda simply guiding it off-target.
