SidneyIsTheKiller posted:More from Issue 39, Oct 1980: https://archive.org/details/starlog_magazine-039 This is easily my favorite piece of speculation from star wars fandom. It just rules so much to look back on this, since I cannot remember a time when I didn't know the broad plot beats for the originals.

SidneyIsTheKiller posted:...H. R. Giger, the Swiss surrealist artist who designed the beast... says of the alien, "...Once seen, it will never be forgotten. It will remain with peo- ple who have seen it, perhaps in their dreams or nightmares, for a long, long time. Perhaps for all time. I even dream about the alien myself— so much that I'm often frightened of going to sleep." Before Giger's awesome statements can be dis- missed as exaggeration, it would be wise to view his previous work. Well, credit where credit's due.

Lemniscate Blue posted:For the life of me I cannot understand how Harlan Ellison never received the Ken McElroy treatment. The man was absolutely toxic, and fandom in general and many of his fellow authors and creators in particular just seemed to treat it like a charming quirk. The majority of what he did was yell at other people in public and then brag about how much he pissed them off. Because most of what he did was in public and he was completely unapologetic about it, most of the American methods of social opprobrium basically don't work. He never backed down so you couldn't just bully him, and he never said he was kind or compassionate or anything other than provocative so there's not much room to call him out for hypocrisy.
