Lonergan penciled and colored "Crash and the Crew Do What They Do," a comic short story released in the one-shot annual edition issue The High Republic Adventures Annual 2021 for Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures series. The story was written by Older and released by IDW Publishing on December 15, 2021. He was first revealed to be working on the issue on September 15 of that year in a StarWars.com post.

On Twitter, prior to the issue's release, he thanked the author and the series' editor Heather Antos for their work on the project and shared some blank page layouts used in the comic. Lonergan also shared two other unlettered artwork spreads from "Crash and the Crew Do What They Do," one of which he felt was one of his favorites. In a publisher's summary for Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures, Volume Two, a 2022 trade paperback collecting The High Republic Adventures Annual 2021, he was mistakenly credited as "Jess Lonergan."
