Solution

[ solution ]

Jam the Guard from a distance. Grab the Jammer that was originally jamming it and use it to jam the Turret from outside of its line of fire. Pick up the Jammer that was originally jamming the Turret. Then, use your three free Jammers to jam the Blue door and both Turrets between you and the Sigil.

Star solution:

[ solution ]

Once you have the Sigil, simply pick up any Jammer (ensure that the final Turret is still jammed) and bring it through the now-open gate towards the Star. Jam its Blue door and take it.
