Chung Se Rang

Chung Se Rang, or Chung Serang (Korean: 정세랑), (born in 1984 in Seoul, South Korea), is a writer and the screenwriter of Studio Mir's "Journey to the Dark Head," the fifth short film of the second volume of the Star Wars: Visions non-canon animated anthology television series. She became a fan of the Star Wars franchise after viewing the film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace while attending middle school, and eventually became inspired by the resilience displayed by Star Wars starfighter pilots. When Chung, who by then was an acclaimed writer, became the screenwriter for "Journey to the Dark Head," the film's production manager Lee Soo Kyung was excited to work with her.

Chung's writing process of "Journey to the Dark Head" was inspired by the South Korean Tripiṭaka Koreana collection of Buddhist scriptures, and the development of the character Toul was informed by reflection on other Jedi characters in Star Wars who were undergoing Jedi training. The writer also suggested that the clothing worn by the characters in the film be based on historical Korean attire.
