So the Ewok has the first action.
You need to declare each action you want to take, like I want to "shoot at X" or "run away" or "dodge". If you think you are going to be shot at you may want to dodge and if you DODGE and SHOOT or DODGE and do something else it's -1D from all skills for each extra thing you do beyond 1. If I'm not around you may declare your actions based on the initiative order.
As far as talking we are in combat phase now due to agressive actions on the part of your enemies and any verbal discourse counts as an action as well.
The lizarl is firing at the senatorial and dodging, the mandalorian is firing at the gambler and dodging, and the imperial is falling dodging and trying to pull something out of her pocket.
