Blind Date with a Wookiee

A short story about a blind date that just . . . wasn't expected. It takes place in a parallel universe where Star Wars is history from a couple centuries ago, and Earth joined the new(ish) galactic government in the 90s. Aliens are occasionally exchange students, tourists, and ambassadors. (Investors and other financial and political involvement ex-planet is banned for another eighty years, until Earthians get it together, of course.) (I hope you like my extremely homemade cover!)
