Rewards points are great!
For the entity giving them out, that is. Your customers feel like they're getting something valuable, when in fact you're encouraging them to spend even more and to be loyal to your brand, based on the far-off, never-to-be-realised dream that they might potentially get something for them later on. Only to discover that there are so many restrictive conditions and/or they need so many points and/or the things you can trade them in for are all rubbish anyway.
So... consider using rewards points in your games!!
Instead of rewarding the heroes with gold or half the kingdom or the hand of his daughter in marriage, the king hands out Royal Rewards Points. With the promise that the heroes can save them up and trade them in later for such aforementioned things. (This might be an interesting way to hint that the king is actually evil...)
Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Ah, good! I had been a little worried that BB-8 was too exposed and could have gotten shot by one of the remaining troopers. Either Rose and BB managed to pick them all off while Finn was dueling with Phasma, or they suffered the fate of summoned minions in a boss battle once the boss has been defeated.
And as a bonus, all three of them made it off the ship! DJ the possible traitor already left I suppose, or was intentionally left behind/already aboard this shuttle. Or possibly died in the collision; it would be simple enough for the Irregulars to grab a headshot image from a different scene and use it for the cash infusion comic. Either way, I think we're one step closer to getting Team Good Guy back together in the same place.

GM: Meanwhile, the hangar is disintegrating.
Rose: I’ll join BB-8 on the walker.
Rose: Finn! Come on! We need to get out of here.
Finn: Yeah, the ship crumbling around us is a problem.
Rose: I’m more worried about the force field that lets ships through but keeps air in.
Rose: If that fails, we’re toast!
BB-8: More like freeze-dried jerky, actually.
Finn: Head for that shuttle!
Finn: How did the ordering go?
[SFX]: clop... clop... {BB-8 drives the walker through the flaming hangar to a parked shuttle near the space exit}
BB-8: Great! We qualified for super express delivery too. And got several million First Order Rewards point.
Finn: What are they good for?
BB-8: Well, if you’re into freebiedesigner logo villain capes, we’re set for life.
[SFX]: whoooooossshh! {they fly out of the burning hangar in the shuttle}
