Is a 'captured' card 'out of play'?

By macmastermind, in Star Wars: The Card Game - Rules Questions

When a card is captured, is it considered to have left play? Cause technically it is still accessible by game effects and in the play area, but the actual card face itself isn't 'in effect', so I'm thinking the card has 'left play', right?

I once won a game by Snoova'ing a nudge and ticking the dial to 12 - but I think the wording on the nudge is 'leaves play', which is why I'm curious...

Anyone have a clue where the rulebook addresses this one? I don't have one in front of me...

Rules page 26 and 27
