Star Wars: Phasma

The mix of genres creates a unique world, and I'm curious how the author decided on this particular combination. Was it driven by a specific story idea or a desire to challenge genre boundaries?

Phasma's struggle with her sense of self made me wonder if the story is more about inner discovery than external conflicts. How did others interpret her evolution?

The setting feels richly detailed yet personal, which can be tricky to balance. I'm interested in whether detailed lore was mapped out early or developed organically during writing.
