Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures: Crash and Burn his is the second one-shot of a pair following Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures: Crash Landing from earlier this year. It tells the story of Alys “Crash” Ongwa and just how far she’ll go for revenge against the Nihil.
One of the biggest story elements is Crash and Krix Kamerat joining forces, in a way, to hatch a scheme to kill Marchion Ro.
Crash and her crew had wanted revenge against the Nihil forces that invaded Corellia. Due to her hyperfixation with revenge, even her crew begin to doubt her leadership.
I’m very bummed for what appears to be the death of Krix. I was very hopeful that we would get another final closure of the relationship between Krix and Zeen Mrala, but I’m not sure at this point. However, a great Star Wars trope is that nobody is 100% gone unless you see a body.
Crash’s crew isn’t my favorite part of The High Republic Adventures, but I’m glad it exists and allows room for experimentation.
As far as I know, this is the last of the two one-shots about Crash and their gang heading into the final books of the High Republic publishing initiative. Hopefully, we’ll see them again.
