Star Wars: La vengeance du soleil noir

Returning to a familiar planet brought a nostalgic feel, but I wonder what specific elements made the author want to revisit it in this story.

The pacing kept me engaged, but I also appreciated the quieter scenes. Was that an intentional choice to deepen character development?

The fresh faces add a lot of energy, and I'm curious whether they were created to fill narrative gaps or to introduce new themes.
