Want to bring something new and interesting to fights? Interrupt them!
- Have someone's phone ring. And then it rings again. Whoever is calling doesn't want to just leave a message.
- It begins pouring rain. A tree nearby is split by lightning with a deafening crack of thunder.
- A terrified NPC runs through the middle of the battle, screaming for help.
- A strange horn blast echoes — reinforcements, monsters, or something worse?
- Bats! So many bats.
- A nearby building collapses.
- Local authorities (police, town guards, security bots) arrive and order everyone to stop fighting.
- A panicked horse pulls a cart at top speed through the battle, spilling barrels of fruit.
Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Hehehehehahhah, okay. That's an excellent joke for the end of the comic.
Anyway, fighting with the weird dagger is certainly a decision for Rey. I would be shocked if it turns out to be made of Cortisol—I mean Cortosis—and that's what all of the fighting over it has been about. Okay, maybe not that shocked. It'd probably get another raised eyebrow at most like a number of the other plot decisions so far. But that would be kinda neat to see that material show up again.
So now that we've seen that there's more to this flashback scene now, anyone want to bet that there's even more to it that hasn't been shown yet?

Rey: I disengage and strike again!
[SFX]: whooom!
GM: Are you still holding the dagger?
Rey: Of course! Hey, maybe I could—
[SFX]: whmmm... {Kylo’s sword hums}
GM: You feel a surge of Force energy.
GM: The lighting shifts.
GM: In a makeshift desert tent, a young girl is comforted by a frightened-looking woman.
Woman: Shh. Shh. Shhm—
Girl: Why do I have to stay?
Woman: To keep you safe.
Woman: It will be a hard life. One without reward. Without remorse. Without regret. A path will be placed before you. The choice is yours alone. Do what you think you cannot do. It will be a hard life.
GM: A man enters.
Man: He’s agreed to take her. For two hundred and one quarter portions.
Woman: We can’t afford that.
Man: The dagger will pay for it. Seventeen thousand! That guy must be really desperate. This could really save our necks. Get back to the ship and get her ready.
Girl: Noo! Don’t leave me!
Restrainer: Quiet, girl.
[SFX]: frooosh! {Ochi’s ship blasts off into the sky}
Girl: Bring it to me.
Rey: Great. My Force visions have prequels now.
[SFX]: whmmm...
Rey: As long as they don’t revise the original.
