Hi Will,

Your regular pedantic reminder that Star Wars: A New Hope was not released until April 1981. He was badly injured before the release of Star Wars. 😝

Chris

PS: I see you have a thousand subscribers on PooTube - is it even worth your while maintaining the Substack as a front end for Sci-Fi Guy? This seems like a miniscule contribution to your fanbase.

Well, I know you're only teasing, I just like to 'remind' in text because of the nature of print vs video. In the video, I even laugh and say I only call 'SW: A New Hope' Star Wars. 😊

And that's why I will always maintain my Substack. It's a different animal than YT. I still love composing long SS articles - even though my YT takes up lion's share of my time now. Often, I come up with a SS article which I then turn into a YT video. Nice creative synergy.

I've met great people on Substack - like you, of course, - and I'm sure you know YT/Google and Substack maintain a close relationship. I've seen crossovers with subs coming onto either platform. 🖖

PS: Would you like to be interviewed on my YT? 🤔 Keep meaning to ask you. 😉
