Star Wars The High Republic - A Test of Courage
Justina Ireland, Petur Antonsson
- Reading
- Pause after the escape to check how the reader feels about the uncertainty and danger. You can then discuss what the group knows, what remains unclear and how they might work together.
- Themes
- Responsibility and readiness: Vernestra has recently become a Jedi Knight and is put in charge of supervising Avon during the journey. The setup creates room to consider what responsible leadership involves, but it does not establish how the story judges Vernestra's decisions.
- Co-operation in a crisis: Vernestra, Avon and others reach a moon after the cruiser is damaged, with communications out and supplies low. The circumstances make co-operation a useful point of discussion, though the outline does not show how the group behaves or whether their efforts succeed.
- Worth knowing
- The journey includes bombs aboard a cruiser, an escape, scarce supplies and possible danger in a forest. Consider whether your reader enjoys suspense and peril before choosing to read together.
