Ok, this is very recent, so I will try to be very reasonable, but if not, only understand it and pass along. I am trying to get a possible solution to this, ignore my cries.
First, I understand perfectly that Jedi and BH are what they are. That Jedi, although a lot of people say otherwise, are mostly more powerful than BH and that they should use every oportunity to kill them... but there are some very, very special moments in this game, that I think should not be destroyed, that are so few, and that last so little time, that the cinematic of the moment should be above and beyond this fight that, independently I like it or not, I accept as the life of the Jedi.
The things is that one BH attacked me today, meanwhile I was talking and taking photos, and without icons in my screen and all that , well , you know. I have been fan of SW for so much time, and you can imagine what it means to arrive to that moment. So the attack destroyed all the atmosphere built but the game, those so few and small moments of content of the game.
From this, I would like to ask the Devs for some kind of "immunity time" so those event can be enjoyed... after that, with the stop conversing, if i am attacked, the better! It feels more like the "precise moment" but in the middle of that.... well shame to you Maxaor, you didnt destroy a jedi that day (and a good one, for that account) but the experience of another player, and I would gladly report you as a harasser if it would be contemplated
Your on the terminals and are open to attack at any time.
So a BH took your mission and got you while were at your weakest. Personally that's good work IMO.
If you don't want to be attack then stay inside a private stucture.

Usually I am sympathetic to posts like this, but I will have to agree. With the supposed power, comes responsibility. A Bounty Hunter attack is the risk of being a Jedi. I agree with you that it is a pain to be interrupted like that, but there isn't much you can do about it other than curse and move on.
don't need immunity.
I accept the risks of being hunted, all of them, even when it is not convenient. I know this means I am real vulnerable sometimes. That is the way it goes.
I dot mind at all being interrumped in ANY other moment in the game, and I am not trying to get simpathy.
BH/ Jedi game is what it is, and when you go for jedi, you know that is inside. I am talking about 10 minutes in total in the game when you SHOULD not be able to be attacked cause they are the so few moments of immersion. And well, try to think, next time you are in some really cool quest , in a moment when you have to talk, that is not going to happen anytime again, that you are attacked, silly. It broke me the moment completly. I only talk about those ones, and this, definetly, is one (and no, I don't think there are a lot more, so few instead, that that s because I ask for this).
ok, i will try to explain a bit more, so ...
If you like discovery, have not read game guides (my case), like to see things for first time as new. And, with the problems of the game, you are not sure what happen if you hit the wrong button, It is restartable? It have bugs? (It happens, a lot!)
if with the nerves, you answer something that give you the quest in a totally different way that you wanted?? (now there is the buttom to restart, but not before, there are bugs, again)
What if devs have placed some answer that is used later in something like a dark/light system and you get stucked with that for soemthing like this? ok, tht are some of the things that passed along my head, and I think all of them could happen (well the FRS alusion probably not 
)

alright, its killing me, since you haven't actually spelled it out for us. what was this almighty most immersive moment in gameplay history that he ruined? maybe one of us would have some sympathy if it was something really fantastic, but until you actually say what this moment was, I'll simply consider this a 'but I was doing a quest, why is he allowed to attack me?" thread.
First time you talk to Obi and start the Fate of the Galaxy quest.
thanks for clearing that up... I was wondering is that is what it was.
To me, getting attacked IS immersion. It is the coolest part about being a Jedi. I don't pay any attention to the 1337 kiddie talk that some BH throw at me while we fight. It is all about Order 66 and my ability to survive the elimination decree the Emperor threw down.
But...I understand that the moment Obi-wan visits you is a damn poor time for a BH to show up. If you haven't done the rest of the quest yet...I'll say that it does get even better.
