Just want to clarify a card ability

By player1041350, in Star Wars: The Card Game

Hi all,

I just want to clarify something. Is it true that a characters/objectives written ability is available whether or not there is a focus on that card. For example if Darth vader is focused and I play a sith event card can I use his ability After you play a [sith] event card, deal 1 damage to a target unit. (Limit once per turn)?

I have a question about an objective's ability. It reads, "You may ignore resource match requirements when playing cards from your hand," so does that mean you are able to put cards for free down from your hand or only cards that have the same building cost as the objective resource? Thanks in advance.

You still have to pay for the cards, but you don't have to worry about one of the resources coming from the correct faction. For instance, if you had Heart of the Empire (Sith resource) as your only available resource generator, you could use it to pay for Admiral Motti (an Imperial Navy unit).
