2025 #28 – Star Wars: The High Republic: Tempest Breaker

by Cavan Scott

Lourna Dee is a prisoner of the Republic. She has a new mission – to find Baron Boolan (amoral scientist) while some of the Jedi accompanying her are looking for Jedi Master Sskeer (a Trandoshan Jedi who has a degenerative disease, and believed dead). What happens when Lourna meets Marchion Ro and the Nihil? Will she stay loyal? Join her old companions? Be killed in the crossfire?

This is a transcript of the audio drama released last year. Be aware of that, as its full of stage directions and sound effects notes. This feels like a good continuation of the High Republic comics run. The issue for me, is that the action is of the “They shoot, pew, pew, pew is heard, and then someone says…” variety. Overall, a solid entry.
