vidian survive blaster explosion

Vidian swept forward, releasing his hold on Kanan and reaching for her blaster. She tried to fire - but he had hold of the barrel now. He squeezed. Zaluna saw a flash brighter than lightning as the blaster's energy pack discharged in their faces.
[...] Vidian staggered, holding his face in his hands. Kanan quickly surmised the man had overestimated his ability to shake off energy attacks. Blaster bolts were one thing; power packs exploding point-blank were something else.
[...] Recovered, the cyborg had pulled his hands away from his face. His synthskin facial coating was charred and melted, revealing the metal man beneath.
