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?

I'm not sure about Disney's lore, but in Legends Jedi are basically super-psychics that can tap into (sometimes literal) magic abilities. That's the reason why they fall so hard on either side of the spectrum, but it also gives them a bit of a general sixth-sense (most video gameplay doesn't count imo) about their vicinity kinda like Spider-Man.

Edit: I'm also pretty high right now so do with that what you will.
