Narrow Escape

ASK FANTASY FLIGHT 

Q: If my opponent chooses a unit for the action ability on The Killing Cold can I play Narrow Escape to choose a new unit?

A: As The Killing Cold does not use the word "target" in its effect, it does not choose a target. Therefore, Narrow Escape could not interrupt The Killing Cold's effect.

Q: If I play Narrow Escape in reponse to a card being played that has targeting restrictions, does the new target chosen by the LS player have to meet those same restrictions?

A: You have to meet the targeting restrictions of the original dark side effect.

Q: If I play Narrow Escape in reponse to a card being played that has targeting restrictions, and there are no eligible alternative targets to choose using Narrow Escape, can I still play Narrow Escape?

A: Effects that choose a target must have an eligible target in order to be played. From the rules, page 27, under TARGET: "If there is no valid target for an effect, the effect cannot be played." So if the player playing Narrow Escape cannot choose a new target, he could not play the card in the first place.

Note that this applies to targeting restrictions only. The timing trigger of an interrupt or reaction being Narrow Escape has already been met, and all you are doing with Narrow Escape is selecting a new target.
