I suppose that, from its title and the first game, I had expected an action-adventure story filled with lightsaber fights and exploration. I’ll be honest from the get-go and start by saying that Battle Scars was not at all what I was expecting. With everyone hiding secrets and distrust brewing, can the crew bring themselves back together once more to prevent this deadly creation from falling into the wrong hands? However, Fret comes bearing information about a secret weapon that could spell disaster for the rebels and hidden Jedi alike should it fall into the hands of the Empire. While Merrin forms an immediate and intimate attachment to her, the others aren’t so sure. When, during a routine mission against the Haxion Brood, the crew picks up a stormtrooper named Fret who claims she wants to defect, they find themselves torn on whether or not to trust this new addition. While Cere desperately tries to atone for the loss of her padawan to the Inquisitors, Cal wants to continue working as a strike team against the might of the Empire, Merrin longs for revenge for the loss of her sisters through any means, and Greez dreams of the day when they allow themselves to say they’ve done enough and it’s time for them to stop and get to enjoy their lives before the Empire puts a more forceful stop to them instead.
Cal, Merrin, Cere, Greez, and BD-1 have been living in each other’s pockets and it’s starting to become obvious that their once-shared goals may be starting to drift apart.
