Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine were once caught in a ray shield trap on the Invisible Hand, set by General Grievous. Kenobi lamented that they were too smart to be caught in such an obvious trap.[2]
The Spire was ray shielded.[3]
The reactor shaft of the Empire's original Death Star superweapon was ray shielded, such that only proton torpedoes would start the chain reaction necessary to destroy it.[4]
