Star Wars RPG mindblock. HeLp!

I'm wanting to start an Star Wars Role Play with my friends and I want to test my Ideas here on the guild. I have plans for everyone to meet on a cruiser named Icarus returning to Coruscant. The people who would be Jedi would be returning because of the Beacon asking them to return to the Temple because war was over. Not knowing Vader rigged it. I need something to happen to the ship so that they must use Escape pods and land on a crap planet... But... WHAT? Gravity Well is just to boring but my last resort. Pirates maybe....

Terrorist and a bomb, gives them the since that they can actually save the ship but make it where they can't... such as the bomb can't be disarmed. Thus they fight their way through the terrorist, the head of them pulling the switch as he goes down setting a timer that they can't stop. The bomb has to be wired into the ship or just too big to move though or else they may try to jettison it.

We would suggest one minor thing first... drop the "Icarus" name... that's Milky way mythology. Doesn't make any sense in Star Wars. Considering the vastness of the Star Wars universe, it should not be hard to find a name that is from the lore of that universe.

As for what happens? Perhaps a plethora of small things adding up?

Former battle-damage to hull and some secondary systems
Some slimy Hutt supplied some essential part of the engines/hyperdrive, and skimped out on something, which then breaks down.
Someone or something unknown/unidentified betrays the crew, sabotaging another system or triggering automated self-destruct.
In the rush to get back, they made a mistake on route calculation, passing too close to a gravity well. When added with above reasons, that overloads something.

What's the point of being marooned on the planet? Is there a story purpose or is it just Survivor: Jedi Exile Edition?
