We all know this 1985/1989 cult film series Back to the Future, right? If you haven’t seen the movie series yet, go and watch now, it’s great. If you did, chances are you probably remember that 2015 is the year that Marty McFly’s time travelling Delorean arrived in the future.

Dr. Emmett Brown, the mad scientist in Back to the Future, promised a world full of flying cars, automated vending, futuristic Hoverboards, self-tying shoes, and plenty more predictions of what life would be like in 2015.

Here’s our list of what the movies got right about 2015 and what they got wrong:

At a recent kick-off celebration of Disney’s next big Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Anaheim, California, director and producer J.J. Abrams (who happened to wear a shiny stainless-still Apple watch on his wrist) officially unveiled to a welcoming crowd of Star Wars fans, a cute rolling droid, called the BB-8.

Meanwhile, as you plainly can see above, Twitter has added three custom Star Wars emoji shortcuts to your keyboard and such.

The new episode, which will be coming out on the big screen in time for the Christmas holidays of 2015, is making quite a buzz these days as the film’s second official trailer video has landed. Yeah, that’s they’re way to keep in touch with the fans and make them all feel enthused and excited.
