It's like this:

My players always joke with me about a game session of Star Wars where they in no way planned on going to the planet I wanted them to go to in order to continue the story.

So I literally had a hyperspace malfunction which caused them to hit a meteor and then crash down onto the planet. To this day they say things like, "is this one of those situations where you are going to crash the starship into the planet,"and we all laugh about it and have a good time.

I do admire their dedication to giving players a choice, but I do wish that they had spent more time on things that would make the game better and more immersive. I wish they had just crashed the starship into the planet with the box rather than allow players to have the choice.
