* DawsonCasting: The novel results in a retroactive example regarding Creator/SofiaCoppola in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''. Coppola portrayed handmaiden Saché, who is estabished in ''Queen's Shadow'' to have been the youngest of the handmaidens and was just twelve years old during the invasion of Naboo. Coppola was actually in her late twenties during filming, making her around a decade older than Creator/NataliePortman (Padmé) and over a decade older than Creator/KeiraKnightley (Sabé), the latter of whom actually was twelve during filming.

* RunningTheAsylum: E.K. Johnston was a dedicated fan of the franchise, particularly of Padmé and the Handmaidens, long before she became one of its authors. Padmé/Sabé has a sizable chunk of fans in the Padmé fanbase, which Johnston nods to with Sabé having a one-sided crush on Padmé and the two being more closer than any other piece in ''Star Wars'' has ever gotten to show,

* ExecutiveMeddling: A small example that ended up being a positive thing; E.K Johnston [[https://www.starwars.com/news/celebrating-padme-and-her-handmaidens-in-queens-shadow stated]] she wasn't sure how much pagetime she was allowed to give Chancellor Palpatine and so he only appeared sparsely in the initial draft. However, her editor recommended she give him a larger role:
