Here’s a program that creates new ‘Star Wars’ plots

Even if the Expanded Universe is no more, fan fiction is alive and well in the Star Wars galaxy. But why write  a new story when a droid could do it for you?

The system uses a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network model, which reads scripts for all Star Wars films and tries to predict the next character.
