The first sort of ideas was basic, navigating the layout of unreal engine, where simple objects were like cubes, how to change their size and shortcuts involved like creating stairs, and verticality for level design. Various panels include minute but important details, such as the selection tab, but moving into a modeling tab which works rather similar to those familiar with Fusion. 

Where things begin to get more complicated are dealing with materials because it's not as simple as dragging and dropping a texture on an object. In game and cinematic design, one has to be aware of imperfections, roughness, reflections, patterns but also offset patterns to create a realistic or logical visual; thinking about which way to point your lights, how bright the lights should be and even what size. These are small but incredibly important. Especially with dealing with material creation and piecing parts together with base colors, normal maps, and height maps, websites like textures.com makes this sort of knowledge easy to come across.

The fun comes from importing assets which you can of course create, but there are so many options, especially when dealing with something as popular as Star Wars, assets from SketchFab in .glb or .fbx formats are incredibly fun to play around with.

Uniquely, I found creating cinematics and motion rather intuitive. Many animations for character are greatly availible on websites like Maximo. Animations go hand in hand to time when a footstep should occur, when a door should open, where the camera should be when the door opens or where you focus, how much focus should there be. It can be overwhelming but it's incredibly satisfying.
