The Force is Strong on Telnet

Bonnie Burton | April 1, 2008

Here’s an oldie but goodie from the archives of Star Wars online fandom.

Check out this Telnet server that broadcasts Star Wars Episode IV to your command line as animated text. From any command line, type: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl and watch A New Hope unfold in ASCII style!

Be sure to also watch Star Wars Asciimation here.
