Dropout’s Vic Michaelis Wants to Toss Their Star Wars Character Out a Window

Vic Michaelis, known for Dropout, voices Runa Blask in the video game *Star Wars Zero Company*. The role marks their first video game performance, and Michaelis said they were initially nervous about both the format and joining the Star Wars universe.

Runa is a wise-cracking adviser who stays at the game’s headquarters, so she cannot be killed by its permadeath system. Michaelis says the writers supplied her memorable jokes, including frequent uses of “wizard”, while their improv experience helped with preparation. Fans have described Runa as someone they love but want to throw out a window, a reaction Michaelis says fits her “big sister” character.
