Enemy charge attack interruption.

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN THOUGHT AT LEAST HALF OF THE GAME - RUN!

How the heck you stop bounty droid forward charge attack?!
What worked for me before was simply use charged up push/pull ability, but now it seems to have stop working for me.
My guess is either after the patch it's just doesn't work... Or because I've maxed both push and pull, increasing total charge time and attack of large enemy can get interrupted only by fully charged push/pull and I'm just not fast enough to fully charge em.

Any ideas or ways to deal with this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ un-dodgable attack, other than to stay way out of its range?

If you have enough Force power, you can Slow them first, then use Push (or Pull).

Well, I'm playing on Jedi Grand Master - can't really spend a lot of Force.
Still it may work. Somehow haven't really tried that yet.

I think you have to double dodge to the side. But it tracks a bit, so you have to time the dodges.

Yea, tried that... Haven't worked well specifically with Bounty Hunter Droid forward charge attack, while similar attacks from other enemies actually are "dodge-able".
The easiest way so far is to just runaway, but again - you need react the second you see it, otherwise it'll catch up to you. Also what EbonHawk advised also kinda works, but wastes a lot of Force.

The only way i found was double jump. I fought the Bad protocol arena boss without and he got me every time.

Im also pretty sure if you're to close you cant really avoid it on grandmaster. Its too fast.

that's the dumb thing - first few times I've encountered these droids I was able to stop their charge attack with push no problem, same as with inquisitor bossfight on Kashyyk, but later for some reason I kinda "lost" ability to do that.

Are you holding down the force push button instead of just pressing it? You may have gotten the skill that gives you the charged push if you hold the button.

Well, maybe that's exactly the issue?
First force push upgrade has pretty fast charge time, but third one needs like double that duration to charge up fully so I just don't really have time to react appropriately, unless I slow down the droid.

imo its one of some moves they didnt really thought out in the combat.
