Daniel M. Lavery, who was born on November 28, 1986, is an American author who wrote the short story "An Incident Report" in From a Certain Point of View, a 2017 anthology of stories set during the 1977 original trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.
The editor of the anthology, Elizabeth Schaefer, created a list of her favorite authors with whom she wished to work and invited Lavery to contribute. In an interview with StarWars.com's Kristin Baver, Lavery speculated that Schaefer was aware of his many tweets and articles on The Toast, a website which he co-founded, about the Star Wars Legends character Kyp Durron from Star Wars: The Jedi Academy Trilogy. From a list of side characters in A New Hope, Lavery selected Admiral Conan Antonio Motti and wrote about Motti filing a workplace incident report after he was Force choked by Darth Vader. Lavery said he loves "fussy bureaucrats" and sought to capture his own impulses towards self-pitying and petty grievances taken to Imperial proportions by Motti. Baver and Lavery compared the story's style to his work on The Toast.
