[Star Wars] Could Jedi block bullets with their Lightsabers? Are they faster than blaster bolts? Could the saber melt the bullets?

Jedi can block bullets but with far less success than blaster bolts. Any bullet that glances or isn't directly into the saber blade will become fragmented or molten and cause injury to the Jedi. This is why in legends mandalorians and jedi hunters often employed slug throwers against Jedi to better combat their sabers at range.
