Well, this looks fun!
Ok so, we have three levels of N/S/E/W. The outer levels are higher than the inner ones but we'll ignore that. You an move from a compass direction to an adjacent compass direction, or to the same compass direction of an adjacent level. The throne is in the middle of all and is adjacent to the four floor areas.
Each area has a 'crowd' rating out of 10. The higher the crowd, the harder it is to move around, see properly or make attacks without someone getting in the way. This is a minor inconvenience to a lightsabre, but could entirely counter a gun attack. This cuts both ways.
All four upper areas have exits.
As Dak said to be ready to smash when needed- and he passed his Strength roll- the case is smashed open at the point the fight starts! That's good news. However, the guards in that location also have noticed you, which is less good.

Your trained Epireans have reached the dizzy heights of a pool of 7... better than the standard mook, at least!
I've left those in play already blank until you actually engage and I know what you end up armed with.
A simple action to emerge from the crates... if you dare.
With the case smashed, Rand reaches out with the Force and summons his lightsaber from the case.
"Your gift, Emperor, from the representatives of DATURA!" Rand yells. Once his lightsaber slaps into his hand, Rand takes only a second to press the activator button with one slimy pale finger. The red blade jumps satisfyingly to life and he raises it to defend himself.
(Focused Guard, Dodge & Weave, and Reflection in please. That way if I get my saber, I will use Focused Guard. If I don't, Dodge & Weave will protect me).
Galder is definitely coming out of the crate, switching on his electro-mace in a burst of crackling energy and joining Trogan and Fitra on the floor.
PA DW IM in please, and he will immediately strike down a guard with the over-sized mace or, failing that, he will smash down anyone else in the audience that is in his way.

That's really quite hard from where you are- the angle is not great and a lot of people are in the way. It's also out of range for an instant draw.
