"I have never had any interest in watching space nerds poke each other with their little space nerd sticks, and I’m not going to start now," Timpf shared on the original broadcast. "You people are crazy. You Star Wars people are crazy. Yesterday I tweeted something, and all I said was that I wasn’t familiar with Star Wars because I’ve been too busy liking cool things and being attractive — people threatened my life.

Yes, because it’s in the script! Actually, the answer about why it provides seemingly no protection from blaster fire is that it wasn’t designed to stop all possible blaster fire. It was to provide protection from bladed weapons, gas weapons, projectiles, etc. It is supposed to be effective against some blasters, but not all:
