Here’s the cover of the new John Joseph Adams anthology Federations (“From Star Trek to Star Wars and from Dune to Foundation, science fiction has a rich history of exploring the idea of vast interstellar societies … The stories in Federations continue that tradition”). Features a blurb from Wil Wheaton!
I got a mention in the acknowledgements:
“Many thanks to the following … The NYC Rebel Alliance — consisting of Christopher M. Cevasco (C3P0), Douglas E. Cohen (R2D2), David Barr Kirtley (Chewbacca), Andrea Kail (Leia), and Rob Bland (Han Solo), among others.”
Which occasioned this conversation among the alliance in question at KGB last night:
| “So what do you think?” “That’s cool. Except why am I Chewbacca? I’m totally not Chewbacca. I should be, like, Han Solo. Wait, who’s Han Solo?” “Rob’s Han Solo.” “Oh. Yeah. I guess Rob is more Han Solo than me. But I should at least be Luke Skywalker or something.” “I’m Luke Skywalker. That’s the whole point. See, I’m Luke Skywalker, and everyone I know is my–” “I could be Lando.” “Yeah, I thought about that. Except I didn’t want to make one of my friends Lando, because Lando betrays all his friends.” “But then he redeems himself. He blows up a Death Star.” “That doesn’t change the fact that he betrays everyone.” “Man, you’re tough, if blowing up a Death Star isn’t even enough to get back on your good side.” “Dave betrayed all his friends by moving to LA.” “But then he redeemed himself by coming back.” “See, he is Lando.” |
