Belac is one of the more interesting Star Wars GMs you'll find on this site. Instead of running a game that feels like a star wars movie, it feels more like the episodic nature of a TV show, in a good way. There's more focus on characters and their individual arcs. The focus on stories is on smaller actions in the backdrop of major events. Players can push where they wanna go. For those expecting the sweeping mythological narratives of star wars, Belac isn't for you. And I think that's why some may not chew on it. But if you prefer a more personal, on the ground story of a weird crew trying to make do as the galaxy burns around them...yeah, give him a shot. He also puts a ton of effort into the presentation with battlemaps, music and other bells and whistles. And a ton of NPCs. Again, give him a shot. You'll get a very interesting star wars experience.
Matt is a rock Solid DM! He's able to switch between genuine threats and comedy in a way that isn't obnoxious and actually fun. He also manages to balance combat to be tough, but still beatable. I only played a one shot, so ymmv for a longer game, but I think you definitely won't go wrong with him as your DM.
I've been in two of Bea's games, so perhaps not the best pool to draw on. However, I do enjoy Bea a lot, especially compared to other GMs on this site. She is very empathetic and sweet, firstly. She's also very good at improvising, and latches on to player input and hooks very quickly. My only point for people who wanna join her games: they are a lot more light hearted! This is more up to your preference. Expect Non-Canon characters like Luigi or Anakin Skywalker walking about in your games, but if that isn't an issue then it isn't. But for what it's worth I feel the effort she puts into encounter design and the maps she does is worth a look!
Ben's enthusiasm is infectious. They clearly want to have a good time, but importantly, they want their players to feel the same way. I've not seen GMs be so excited to see their players twist and bend the rules, or to be gleeful at their players being creative. I heartily recommend em.
