A Few Star Wars Author Interviews

Posted By Mike on September 23, 2008

Our friend Zee Zee of SWBooks.co.uk sent over the follwing regarding interviews with Karen Miller and Sean Williams:

"First up newbie Karen Miller was interviewed by Dave Brendon?s Fantasy & Sci-Fi Weblog, as well as the usual discussion regarding her own material, Dave asks the SW question:

Finally, how it felt to have been called up and asked to contribute to A Galaxy Far, Far Away?

A: "To say that I am humbled, awed and terrified to be writing in the Star Wars universe is about the biggest understatement of the year. I saw the original Star Wars at the movies, in 1977. I was still in high school, and a firm geeky sci-fi fan. All these years later I still remember the feeling of seeing the rebel ship, then the Star Destroyer, flying over our heads. I think I knew, on some deep level, that I?d just seen something very important. And, in all seriousness, the film changed my life. The people I met, the things I did, the dreams I pursued, because of Star Wars, have shaped me and influenced me and truly blessed me. And now I?ve been given this incredible chance to play in that world, to play with those characters ? I?m beside myself. Terrified, as I say, because as a fan myself I know just how passionate and dedicated and protective fans are about Star Wars. But so happy. Especially since I?m playing in the prequel era, and I really love that era. I love the nobility and the tragedy and angst and the foreshadowed doom of the last days ? which probably says I?m a whacko broad, but there you are. I know there are people who love to groan and complain about the prequel films, but I honestly enjoy them. There?s so much wonderful character work in there. To me, they?ve been a great gift. I can only hope that the stories I?m telling do justice to the world that George Lucas created, and gave us."

Next up is TFU author Sean Wiiliams. Sean participated in Adventures in Sci-Fi Publishing's latest podcast
From the shownotes:
"Sean Williams won the Writers of the Future in 1991. Since then, he has published nearly 30 novels, including four New York Times bestsellers. In this episode, he talks with the current winners of the WoTF and shares with them the wisdom of his experience. Then Sean and I sit down to discuss Star Wars, his Ph.D. studies, and why his YA fantasy novels can?t find a home in the U.S."

Thanks Zee Zee!

The good people over at Lightsabre have also posted an interview with Bob Vitas, one of the authors of the Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia. (Click on the interview section)
