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?

If you’re attuned to the Force and are going into a situation where you expect you might get shot you’ll have elevated senses and faster reaction times. But Order 66 proved that getting shot in the back when you least expect it is an efficient way to kill a lot of Jedi. Yoda had plot armor, you would think he would have been the first one Sheev had hit so that he didn’t have a chance to feel all those deaths ripple through the Force.

    That or sheev was arrogant and wanted yoda to feel them all before he died

    Also reasonable. He wasn’t surprised Yoda survived and seemed to enjoy throwing the Senate at him.
