Brainstorming is good!! Apologies for my delayed responses. My schedule has been nutso this week. I've seen Rogue One once, but I admit I don't remember a whole lot about it. Have to watch it again! Just based on that alone, I'd say maybe sticking with Din's canon would work in terms of brainstorming? I'd actually like to watch Rogue One this weekend if I have time.

For action plot/platonic slow burn/etc. I am truthfully down for any, or even a mixture. I am not exactly an expert when it comes to writing action lmao but I am open to it and I would absolutely love to improve (part of why I chose to pick up this character).
