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 laser guns all make a big noise, and I believe there's a thing called force speed.

Same as any super hero, that uses super powers. So yes, it's plot armour. Anything that has super powers is actually plot armour.

    Correct, there is force speed! (If George Lucas's intentions are to be taken as canon.) It's shown in the 2002-3 Clone Wars cartoon, a deleted scene in Revenge of the Sith (it looks really goofy) and is arguably shown in how some force users like Yoda and Sidious leap around so fast.
