Pulp book cover reimaginings of the original Star Wars trilogy


It is an inaccuracy to say that Star Wars is science fiction. Its true genre is Planetary Romance. Star Wars is an adventure story in the style of Edgar Rice Burroughs A Princess of Mars, Michael Moorcock's Michael Kane of Old Mars, C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy or—quite self-consciously—Flash Gordon. A farmboy stumbles across secret information that leads him to rescue a princess, aided by his two servants, his wizard mentor, a pirate and a friendly giant.

I instantly fell in love with these imaginary book covers by Timothy Anderson, which to me perfectly capture the feel and intention of the original Star Wars film.

This just in: Dystopian science fiction will no longer be sold or streamed in the San Francisco Bay Area or Silicon Valley due to the high risk of it inspiring new tech startups. #tech #scifi


Okay, so apparently, a large number of issues of GALAXY magazine are now available online for free.

Some younger folks may not be familiar with GALAXY, but in its day it was one the most important publications in science fiction and fantasy. The available issues include hundreds of stories by great classic SF&F authors.

For free. 😍

Just thought people would like to know.

Liblast's story has been completely overhauled - here's the draft 2. If you're into Sci-Fi, you might get a kick out of this one.

My goal for writing this story was to justify having two teams of identical-looking humanoid robots wielding identical-looking weapons blasting each other to bits on a variety or crazy locations.

It's cheap to make and robots help keep it family friendly 😀

I think this draft should do!
