Is it just plot armor or is there some sort of force sense that allows them to know when a bolt is coming from directly behind them?

The force.

The living force connects all living things and they can sense other people’s intents and emotions and thoughts through it.

The physical force also would warn them (or just make them aware) of things like falling rocks, too.

    Oh cool I didn't know there were different types of force, I kinda equate it to the idea of "ki" in the real world

    Different aspects, you could say, of The Force.

    Gin explains to Yoda (as a force ghost,) that the living force feeds into the cosmic force, etc. the living force connects all living things where the cosmic force is where the living go when they no longer live, the physical force connects inanimate objects (and lets Jedi toss rocks,) etc.

    But it’s all the same thing in the end, just a question how to see it.
