With the change to the Independent keyword " that unit may gain the listed token(s) or perform the listed action as a free action". If Ventress had Defensive Stance equipped could she use the dodge action as a free action off her Independent keyword to gain 2 dodge tokens in the activation phase?

Hey! Shadow Collective Maul and Ahsoka are engaged in melee on a turn when " Seize what power we can " has been played. If Ahsoka performs a melee attack against Maul and uses Jar Kai mastery to improve attack dice results using dodges. Would those dodge tokens be placed on the command card immediately and be available to use in Mauls defensive of the same attack? Thanks
