2e: Does Kanan Crew allow a ship to perform an action?
Yes
"1. Reveal Dial: The ship’s assigned dial is revealed by flipping it faceup
and then placing it next to its ship card.
2. Execute Maneuver: The ship executes the maneuver selected on the
revealed dial.
3. Perform Action: The ship may perform one action."- rules reference page 3
So the execute maneuver is separate from the preform action, so after you fully execute a maneuver you do anything that happens after that, then you move on to perform action.
I'll add: because Kanan happens after step #2, while the stress from a Debris Clout happens within step #2, Kanan (as in 1e) allows a ship to fly through a Debris with a white move, clear the stress, and still take perform their normal action. Well, you have to not-bump, but still.
Thanks for the answers, glad to know he works the way I hoped he would!
