[Star Wars] When Vader blocks blaster shots with his hand, is that a "force deflect" type power, or just his suit of armor being really tough?

It's both. Tutaminis/energy absorption is a staple power for Jedi, but also Vader's armor was tough enough to resist light blows from a lightsaber, particularly his gauntlets. It's also worth pointing out the Force-enhanced reaction necessary to get his hand in the way of a shot.
