In the semi-alternate reality of the original movie they sure seem like they do. I mean, Obi Wan King Kais from the afterlife specifically to tell Luke to use the Force to torpedo the exhaust port. And to be clear, that’s because the automated targeting system wasn’t getting a lock, so that’s some superhuman nonsense shot to freehand.
And he may find blasters “uncivilized”, but he claims Luke’s dad was a great combat pilot, so they clearly weren’t above a good ole strafing run.
Honestly, a big part of why Star Wars used to be fun is the lore makes no sense whatsoever and is mostly left offscreen to operate under sheer dream logic.
