[BUG] Dispell from Malevolent Whirlwind is unavoidable while damage is avoidable

Bane's 1st special, Malevolent Whirlwind, is able to dispell buffs even when a target has Foresight, but it won't deal damage to that target. Please see this this video clip - Padawan Obi-Wan has Foresight + Stealth and some other buffs. After Bane uses Malevolent Whirlwind Obi-Wan took no damage but he lost all of his original buffs and instead has new buffs granted from Master Qui-Gon as a result of the attack. Thus the Foresight did not allow Obi-Wan to dodge the entire attack.

Compare this to Admiral Piett's 2nd special, which dispells (from light side) and deals damage. In this clip, Qui-Gon and Kelleran have Foresight + some other buffs and after Piett uses his 2nd, only Foresight is consumed and the two characters take no damage, retaining their other buffs. Thus the Foresight did allow them to dodge the entire attack.

This implies that Bane's Malevolent Whirlwind is not consistent or is functioning incorrectly, because since it does not anywhere contain the clause "this cannot be evaded", either everything in the attack must be evaded when a target has Foresight (double dispell + damage) or select parts of the ability should be evaded when a target has Foresight given that it is written as "X then Y", compared to Piett's ability written "X and Y".  Right now the check to apply the ability effects seems to be (dispell + damage) then (dispell), but given how the ability is written the deal damage check should occur after the second dispell.
