Link Round-Up: January 12, 2015

Star Wars: The New Year awakens

"May the New Year Be With You"
"We have much to look forward to as the New Year awakens."

2015 is both the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future and the year that Marty McFly traveled to in Back to the Future Part II. Which means that a lot of this year will be devoted to questions about whether or not the film's predictions have come true. Questions made easier by this new glut of concept art from the film.  Newsweek has an interview with "future consultant" Tim Flattery and concept artist Edward Eyth. Flattery said that it was the filmmakers' vision, more than accuracy, that motivated the style.  Newsweek has some Back to the Future concept art up in their article, but Eyth has put up even more on his website.
