The blocking issue you're mentioning is an old bug and can be "fixed" by depleting the hero stamina. Right now, there's another issue where you're blocking (as shown on the last two videos) but the attacks go through it anyway.
The first one with anakin in Yavin can be atributted to you being in a stair, they probably got you from under your block.
The second one with kylo on Kashyyyk it's probably lag, as you started to be hit but when you put your block it was too late. Mind that being attacked from the side can be blocked or be a hit, it's the edge between a block and a hit.
Also, I managed to trigger your anakin stuck in heroic might on purpose: It's the Emperor's Dark Aura. I believe if the first hit (or any hit) of the dark aura catches you just as you are about to unleash Heroic Might, you get stuck. By first I mean first that you take from one use of the skill, or at least first in some time (some effects apply to firt hits in this game, but first hits may be hits done after a long time not getting following hits, like palpatine's 2 handed lightning attack will cause stagger for the first time it hits an enemy, and all following hits won't produce this effect)
The Kylo video might not have been the best example, but it's happening a lot since the last patch (even face to face) and more people are starting to confirm the same issue. As for the stairs on Yavin 4, it never happened before in that place and when it comes to Palpatine's lighting it doesn't matter where you stand, as long as you have your block up, it should work.
You're actually right, despite that both examples could have other reasons. I was reviewing my footage today and I found this bug happening. I was obi, my block animation was working, my stamina was being depleted and my aim dot was on boba's chest, yet he landed several shots on me. The footage is very clear, I'll bring it later. Man, another block bug? This is getting out of hand
Now there are two of them... at least.
Thank you for your help on identifying bugs.
