Ah, the good old pantomime. Over-the-top characters, with caricatures of good and evil, cheered on and booed by those watching.
It's not a bad model for a roleplaying game, when you think about it!
Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Now that's curious. Why the focus on this puppet show? With the multiple camera angles, it's gonna be important somehow. But the kids probably aren't important, so it'd have to be the story being told. I wonder if it's being said in English Galactic Standard. The young aliens are definitely lending credence to the facial tentacles growing like hair idea; octopodes don't have tentacles that short when they're young compared to the rest of their body as a point of comparison.
Hmm. Maybe Rey recognizes the show somehow? That is, movie-Rey maybe recognizes it. Movie-Rey is just weirdly watching from a distance for some reason; perhaps thinking about interrupting the show. The GM could hardly have been more blunt that it's about Rey. I think the chance of Rey causing a problem just increased, if only because the GM knows how Pete probably will react to things and that can be used to cause problems.
