Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars
Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars | Sam Maggs
8 posts | 5 read
Cal Kestis leads the Stinger Mantis crew on an adventure set between Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and the highly anticipated Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Cal Kestis has built a new life for himself with the crew of the Stinger Mantis. Together, Cal’s crew has brought down bounty hunters, defeated Inquisitors, and even evaded Darth Vader himself. More important, Merrin, Cere, Greez, and faithful droid BD-1 are the closest thing Cal has had to a family since the fall of the Jedi Order. Even as the galaxy’s future grows more uncertain by the day, with each blow struck against the Empire the Mantis crew grows more daring. On what should be a routine mission, they meet a stormtrooper determined to chart her own course with the help of Cal and the crew. In exchange for help starting a new life, the Imperial deserter brings word of a powerful, potentially invaluable tool for their fight against the Empire. And even better, she can help them get to it. The only catch—pursuing it will bring them into the path of one of the Empire’s most dangerous servants, the Inquisitor known as the Fifth Brother. Can the Imperial deserter truly be trusted? And while Cal and his friends have survived run-ins with the Inquisitors before, how many times can they evade the Empire before their luck runs out?

📚📚📚📚 Action forward and includes insider peak to video game too. Some of the side stories needed stronger development and connection to the main plot. (Late post for March)

I really enjoyed reading about Cal Kestis and his crew. I wish there had been more with Merrin, I love the Night Sisters. In this tale, they get wrapped up in a rescue mission with a storm trooper that had just deserted.

Jari-chan Merrin is such a fascinating character, I also wished we would've spent more time with her. 7mo
TieDyeDude Nice. I bought the second game, but I want to replay the first game and read this before starting it. 7mo

I skim read the majority of this because I didn't like the writing. It was awkward and badly paced.

The story lacked a lot of tension and felt very low stakes even though it was constantly telling me how high stakes it was.

I think I would like the characters more written by a different author.

BookwormAHN I think another would have done a lot better with the tension and I would have preferred more focus on Merrin instead of Cal. I thought she was more interesting. 7mo

Another strong Star Wars book with very deep characters. I love the night sister and therefore had a soft spot for Merrin. I did not play the game, but I'm really thinking about it, so I could spend more time with this crew. I laughed with them, I cried with them and I worried with and for them. And while their characters grew, they grew on me.

In February we read From A Certain Point of View The Return of the Jedi. I enjoyed the stories, especially those at Jabba's Palace. What did y'all think?
In March we catch up with Cal Kestis and his Mantis crew. This one should be good.
As always if anyone wants to be added or removed just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀

Jari-chan Just finished it yesterday. As always with story collections, there were good ones and not so good ones. Now I'm curious about our next book. 9mo
BookwormAHN @Jari-chan Exactly 😺 9mo
PuddleJumper I've just got the March pick from the library. I've not had much to do with Cal Kestis, never played the games 9mo
BookwormAHN @PuddleJumper I haven't either, but I know Cal is a popular character so I'm looking forward to it 😸 9mo
