You more or less got it right, though you may have done some things out of order. There's a handy list of steps that can help resolve any questions about order.

In the Order of Gameplay, during the Modify Defense Dice step, the attacker modifies the defense dice first, if able -- this is when he uses Juke. Then the defender does his modifications, including spending a Focus token.

This means if you had a focus token when you entered the step where you can modify defense dice, he'll have to juke you before you spend your focus token. You can generally play it fast and loose like you did, but any time there's a conflict of multiple players wanting to modify dice, the Order of Gameplay will help you know what to do.

Because of this order, Juke might only be effective if they don't have a focus token... Though if you can hit them wth multiple ships, then it's a useful way to force the to spend their focus token when they otherwise wouldn't have to, and then they don't have it for the next attack. Or if they choose to hold onto the focus token, you get a free extra hit. You can also be evil and give Juke to "Omega Leader". ;)

I hope that helps!
