Adobe has been tinkering with a camera that has 19 lenses (like a bug) and can take 3D images where focus can be manipulated after the image is taken.
From a PopSci article:
“But the process doesn’t stop there. Adobe software can analyze the 19 captured photos and from them generate thousands of intermediate images so that each shot seamlessly morphs into those adjacent. Then images are layered, like thin sections, producing a three-dimensional simulation of the scene in which every piece of it is in focus.”

Holiday season of 1978, Mr. Lucas gives us the Star Wars Holiday Special. In it, we learn:
- Chewbacca has a father named Itchy and a son named Lumpy
- Maude actually works and sings at the Mos Eisley cantina

- Jefferson Starship has a gig on the Death Star
- Chewie has a holographic home version of the Cirque Du Soliel
