    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Disney needed new IPs w/ the coming public domain that will happen to Mickey Mouse & Co. They weren't wrong to gobble up available IPs, they just sucked at making Star Wars profitable.

    In 10 years, self driving will be automatic transmission. Only a few specialty, expensive, cars will offer it. Expect cities to be installing sensors for cars to talk to in 5-8 years. Self driving cars will never hit a red light.
