Star Wars. Un nuevo amanecer

The universe feels rich and immersive, but I'm curious what sources or ideas shaped its creation. Did the author draw from existing myths or invent everything from scratch?

The characters faced tough choices that felt genuine, but I wondered if their development was planned from the start or evolved during writing. How did the author approach making them feel authentic?

The pacing felt smooth, but at times I wondered whether more focus on the lore or the battles would have enhanced the experience. Was this a deliberate choice?
