In general, yes. The Ion Cannon forces a '1 straight white' maneuver so a Stress token is not removed. It's a great way to negate Vader if you can catch him with an ICT while he's stressed and keep him that way. I believe there is some debate regarding whether an R2 astromech overrides this (makes all 1 and 2 maneuvers green) but the final answer for that will have to wait for an FAQ.

magadizer 617 Posted October 18, 2012 Don't know what you mean by "damaged" precisely, but if an Ion cannon scores a hit on a ship with a stress token, it would keep that stress token next round since it has to perform a 1 ahead WHITE maneuver. The only claim to controversy on this point is whether the generic R2 card (I think that's the one) which changes all level 1 and 2 moves to be GREEN could override this. I think the consensus (among players) is that the Ion cannon effect would take precedence, but it's not 100% clear cut and calls for a rules clarification.
