Star Wars: Tempest Runner (The High Republic)
Star Wars: Tempest Runner (The High Republic) | Cavan Scott
3 posts | 3 read
Delve into the cutthroat world of one of the High Republic’s greatest foes, the merciless Lourna Dee, in this full script for the Star Wars audio original Tempest Runner. The Nihil storm has raged through the galaxy, leaving chaos and grief in its wake. Few of its raiders are as vicious as the Tempest Runner Lourna Dee. She stays one step ahead of the Jedi Order at the helm of a vessel named after one of the deadliest monsters in the galaxy: herself. But no one can outrun the defenders of the High Republic forever. After the defeat of her crew, Lourna falls into the hands of the Jedi—but not before she hides her identity, becoming just another Nihil convict. Her captors fail to understand the beast they have cornered. Just like every fool she’s ever buried, their first mistake was keeping her alive. Lourna is determined to make underestimating her their last. Locked up on a Republic correctional ship, she’s dragged across the galaxy to repair the very damage she and her fellow Tempest Runners inflicted. But as Lourna plans her glorious escape, she makes alliances that grow dangerously close to friendships. Outside the Nihil—separated from her infamous ship, her terrifying arsenal, and her feared name—Lourna must carve her own path. But will it lead to redemption? Or will she emerge as a deadlier threat than ever before?

Oof, easily the worst entry into the High Republic so far. The story was decent, if unnecessary, but the audio performances were... subpar. The lead character was breathy but rough, grunted constantly, and just not pleasant to hear. Several characters in the same scenes sounded almost identical. There were time jumps with absolutely no indication. Just uncharacteristically sloppy for a Star Wars audio. Wish I had read the book instead.

Audio Drama (4/10):
I‘ve gotta be honest, I was really looking forward to this entry in the Star Wars saga, but I‘m highly disappointed. The attempt to make Lourna Dee a likable character didn‘t work at all for me, it just makes me want her taken down even more. I AM curious to see where she goes, but this entry isn‘t necessary for the overall story of The High Republic.
