"Noah pointed out that it’s only a felony if they catch and convict you." Excellent energy to bring to any situation of this kind.
I must say, while the acting of the crew and the story-telling as a whole is very good, especially considering they have multiple lines going on at once, what I find really impressive is when they adapt it to the passengers. I am sure that for a Star Wars fan it is exciting even when you know that it is technically all the same for everyone following your path, but when Raithe gave you a job based on what he felt suited your characters and when Saja Kyr invited you to join her, I am sure that felt a whole another kind of special.
It really did! There are definitely things that it's like, yeah, sure, that's special in the same way for a lot of people (like the Captain telling me "Leia Organa needs you" on the datapad) -- but the performers definitely also give it the personal touch where they can! I'll talk more about this in the analysis post (which may take another full week to finish, lol!), but they are so good at responding to what participants are putting out there. I *think* they are aided in that by some behind-the-scenes crew, too -- each performer is always wearing an earpiece, and I think they get fed reminders like people's names, early on, and then things more related to the plot and what we've participated in. That plus the performers' insane talent helps them differentiate even within the group scenes, so that truly, every participant gets a bespoke experience. I felt very seen, and it's part of what made the whole experience so incredible and transformative.
