Mimetic Combat Processor
Glossary Text
Once per turn during this character's activation, choose one Medium character with Melee Attack within 6 squares. This character can use the chosen character's Defense, Attack, and Damage ratings if they are higher than its own. It must use all the chosen character's ratings; if any of them is worse than its own, it cannot use this ability. This character uses the chosen character's ratings for the rest of the skirmish or until it chooses another eligible character.
May a JTD (Jedi Training Droid) change his stats while moving?
Example: the JTD is not within 6sq at the start of his turn, moves 2sq to be within 6sq of the character it wants to mimic, grab his stats, and continue to move another 4sq to attack.

No. As with any other zero-time abilities, they cannot be used in the middle of another action. The droid must finish moving in order to use Mimetic Combat Processor.

Please help me to understand, what is “zero-time ability"?
Targeting can be used during movement, but that is also stated in the Glossary text.
Card Text
Until the end of the round, target enemy has -4 Defense
Glossary Text
Once per turn on its turn, this character can choose an enemy within line of sight, following all the usual rules for choosing a target. The target has -4 Defense until the end of the round. It doesn’t take any time to use Targeting; the character can still move and attack normally this turn.

That isn't how Targeting works either, you can still move and attack in the same turn as using targeting, but you can't move 3 squares, Target something and move another 3.
From the FAQ
Q: The following Force powers don't contain the phrase that they replace attacks or turns: Drain Life, Force Stun, Jedi Mind Trick, Sith Hatred, Sith Sorcery, Transfer Essence. (This applies to some abilities as well, like Targeting.) Does this mean I can use them in addition to my normal move and/or attack? Could I use them after moving but before attacking or vice versa? Could I use them between 2 attacks? (For example, attack and defeat one character, then use Transfer Essence to move to a different space and continue a triple attack on another target.)
A: Yes to all of the above.
Q: Could I use the abilities listed above part way through a move then continue the move sort of like Mobile Attack? Or in the middle of an attack maybe to Transfer Essence before someone could use Lightsaber Riposte for example?
A: No. You must complete the move/attack/ability in progress before declaring another ability.

A: No. You must complete the move/attack/ability in progress before declaring another ability. What about with MA or GMA? Could you use the ability mid movement?

Nope, Also from the FAQ Q: Could I use the powers listed above during a move if the character has Mobile Attack or Greater Mobile Attack? A: No. Mobile Attack allows you to insert an attack or ability that replaces attacks into a move. These abilities are neither attacks nor abilities that replace attacks.
