Real talk, I'm still trying to work out whether this was a REAL mutiny, or if Vandi went back to her dad and told him "hey dads, these idiots are offering me DOUBLE what you're demanding from them if I just get you out of the way" and Vandal decided "time for the 'ol fake mutiny scam."

My players surprised me. I thought they'd do one of two things; either pay Vandal off, or concoct an elaborate scheme to painstakingly discover and disable every trap in the box Vandal had surrounded them in before kicking his teeth in.

I did not expect one of them to go "my twi'lek has a silver tongue and our slicer also has the Jedi mind trick. Let's suborn his daughter!"

And then they rolled super well.

Social skills, man. Sometimes they're worth more than hokey religions OR a good blaster.
