How to facilitate
Start with an introductory icebreaker to immerse the team in the theme, such as discussing their favorite Star Wars character.
Explain the purpose of the retrospective and the meaning behind each column name.
Begin with '🎉 The Force Awakens' column, asking team members to share positive moments or achievements.
Move to '🌌 The Dark Side', encouraging team members to discuss challenges and setbacks they encountered.
Dive into '🌠Rebel Resistance', where team members can share frustrations or blockers that hindered progress.
Group and discuss the contributions in each column, aiming to identify patterns or recurring themes.
Brainstorm actionable steps to amplify 'The Force Awakens', confront 'The Dark Side', and resolve 'Rebel Resistance'.
Conclude with a closing activity, ideally within the theme (e.g., awarding 'Jedi of the Sprint').

Summarize contributions with thematic phrases to add to the sense of fun, like 'The Force is strong with this idea!'
Balance the discussion to ensure every column receives approximately equal focus.
