Obi-Wans Mind Trick ability and Naboo Royal Handmaidens Intercede Mechanic

[Vaughnej]

If a Unit that is engaged with both Obi-Wan Kenobi, Out of Hiding, and Naboo Royal Handmaidens makes a melee combat action targeting the Handmaidens, what is the result if Obi-Wan, Out of Hiding uses his Mind Trick ability on the attacking unit?

I'm required to target the Handmaidens for attack because they have the Intercede mechanic, but Obi-Wan's Mind Trick ability ends that attack, and I may make an attack targeting a different character, which would be Obi-Wan, but Handmaidens require me to choose them for the target of attacks before I can attack any primary and secondary units.

Does this mean that when Obi-Wan's ability ends the attack I can't make an attack targeting Obi-Wan and the Handmaidens?

Yes. Neither character can be attacked in the described scenario.
