ASK FANTASY FLIGHT

Q: If you use a unit's protect keyword, may you then use another unit's protect keyword to take the damage from the original unit?

A: Yes, you can chain protects.

Q: What is the specific timing for the Protect keyword?

A: Protect is a replacement effect for when you actually try and place the damage token itself on the original target. For example, the Interrupt on Lightsaber Deflection happens when you assign the damage; Protect interrupts when you go to actually place the damage on the target. As such, Lightsaber Deflection would happen first.
