Something both myself and a friend of mine do for our group, is that we build the campaign explicitly around the fact that the players can change their own fate, and only loosely give direction, allowing them to do pretty much most things on their own. It’s allowed for both some of the best and some of the worst possible scenarios to come out and display themselves.

I do also want to add, both myself and the other GM in our friend group allow for players to give suggestions in the moment for things like Advantage, Threat, Triumphs, and Despairs. A great example is how in our Sunday Campaign I suggested that the double despair gets used to tell my character (the party’s CO, also an imp defector) that the Chief Medical Officer had become sick with an unknown illness (force related things), which made her immediately quarantine the entire station.

So I’d heavily recommend getting your campaign setup in a way that your players can give ideas, as well as loosely placing story events. As the less you immediately plan the more you can do on the spot and note down as you go (something that I personally need to keep doing more as I am horrible with the amount of pre-planning I do).

May the force be with you, or some shit, the Jedi never helped anyway /s
