Star Wars on Telnet

As The Register puts it:

You can now watch Star Wars on Telnet. No, change that: you must watch Star Wars on Telnet.

Telnetified by Snore (a “whacked Dutch hardware geek” called Sten) it takes all of 13,935 frames and the mad, delightful enterprise is here.

And when you’ve finished this, how about Star Wars in ASCII? There’s a lot of things you can end up doing when you’re bored, and as Simon Jansen is happy to admit, animating Star Wars in ASCII text is one of them.

He’s done a grand job of it though – it amazing what you can do with a little imagination – and we heartily recommend a look here. Sadly, the whole movie isn’t there. Instead you get up to the part where Obi-Wan Kenobi heads off on his own in the Death Star to locate the tractor beam.
