Lourna Dee is on a quest for redemption with the Jedi in their fight against Marchion Ro and the Nihil…or is she? We explore the latest The High Republic audio drama from Cavan Scott.
Lourna Dee has had a long strange journey throughout The High Republic publishing initiative. She has gone from Tempest Runner to prisoner and fugitive to an ally of sorts to the Jedi. Cavan Scott has created another adventure for Lourna Dee as she makes an attempt at redemption in The High Republic: Tempest Breaker. When Lourna Dee accompanies Jedi Master Keeve Trennis on an unauthorized mission into the Occlusion Zone, Lourna will be tempted to reverse course on her promises to the Jedi. Will she honor her alliance with the Jedi, or will old habits die hard for the former pirate? We are breaking down her journey in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall non-spoiler thoughts about this audio drama,
- The performance of the voice cast with special props to Jessica Almasy as Lourna Dee,
- Avar Kriss’s fall back into behavior that predated the events of Tessa Gratton’s Temptation of the Force,
- Jesi Master Keeve Trennis and her struggle with the Jedi’s role in the galaxy and becoming the “Light of the Jedi,”
- Lourna Dee’s confrontation with Marchion Ro at the ball,
- Boolean’s motivations, and
- Whether Lourna Dee found redemption.
