Carnor Jax Ability vs. Kyle Katarn

By DesignerNinja, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Does Carnor Jax shut down Kyle Katarn's focus passing ability within a range of 1?

For example:

Kyle is within range 1 of Carnor, can he pass a focus token to a ship outside of 1 range?

or

Kyle is outside range 1 and wants to pass a focus to a ship within range 1 of Carnor.

Kyle isn't spending a Focus token, he passes it on to another ship.

So he can.

However, He cannot take the focus action (which gives him the token(s) ) if he is within Range 1 of Carnor in the activation phase.

Kyle's ABILITY does not interact with Jax. But his ability is just passing a Focus token. It does nothing to help generate the token or spend the token.

If Jax pulled up to Kyle then Kyle could still pass a Focus off to say Garven, who happens to be further away than R1 of Jax but within R1 of Kyle, and Garven could use that Token and by using the Focus give it back to Kyle. Kyle still couldn't do anything with it because of Jax sitting right there.
