First of all, some of the OG readers might have noticed something new, its the new book cover. It took me 6 hours in Photoshop, along with doing online school at the same time, but I did it. It is better than the last one.
Im sure that you saw some familiar story elements in this, specifically from star wars. I actually thought of this story when I was getting ready to see rise of Skywalker, and I thought of a lion King AU that has a star wars plot-line, then that idea turned into this. The inspiration for Simba's character was anakin Skywalker, I wanted to make Simba a Darth Vader type of character, a man who was broken over the loss of his loved ones and the girl he loved, the difference being that Padme died and Nala lived. And both saved their son and became good again. And Kiara and Kovu's relationship was modeled after han Solo and Leia, both were annoyed by each other but feel in love. But I decided to add my own things, I didn't make Kion 100% like Luke, kion was still his own character. Also I wanted to have a KionxTiffu subplot. As for Vitani and Kopa, I have this stories modeled after 2 star wars characters, mostly Vitani, can you guess who.
Also pay attention to the titles of the 9 chapters, they are all based on the original star wars film titles. And here are some star wars music I would use if this was an actual film. (Click the external Link in the Previous Chapter for the Credits Music)
