Mythree-year-old son, who has seen Stars Wars (IV-VI) once walked up behind me when I played this .gif. Immeditately, he said, "STAR WARS!"

I would love to tell my mother-in-law that I'm doing this parenting thing correctly, but she wouldn't understand.

I can't believe I was such an insufferable prick all those years ago getting the lightsaber colour wrong. How could I have been so utterly stupid? I'm sorry for letting the entirety of the internet down. This is possibly one of the worst crimes committed by humankind. Forgive me.

I hope u don't mind - I hooked up my modem, then downloaded this and saved it to a 3.5 floppy - just to have done it!

You can also watch ASCII A New Hope over telnet. Just enter the following in command prompt

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

(You might have to enable telnet client in Control Panel>Programs>Turn Windows Features on and off)

But heres a video for the lazy.

Watching this while listening to Cowboys From Hell by Pantera. Very good.

It's hard to imagine, but somehow, somewhere, there are people sitting at their computers, seeing this gif, and then choosing to downvote it. This is the reality we must face.

someone please turn this into a classic sierra style adventure game with a parser interface.

Hey everyone, no one cares what you were listening to while watching this.

favorite part: when Luke's jedi mind trick doesn't quite have enough to get the ship out of the swamp, he then begins jumping up and down! that gave me laughter.

LeBacon · 3 months

I remember when such graphics in a game would have thrilled me beyond words.

eyereport · 3 months

I like the part at the end with the flying turd.

mss79 · 3 months

brilliant, but one error: luke's lightsaber in empire strikes back is blue, not green. he builds a green one between empire strikes back and return of the jedi. but still: brilliant! here, have an upvote! :-D

Having never seen the movie, this made very little sense.

I am proud to call the man who made this my friend. I've let him know that it's hit reddit again (it's been doing laps of the internet for years now) which I'm sure will make him happy.

What I've never understood is why the shield generators weren't inside the shield.

I was listening to The Velvet Underground -- Sister Ray during one of the breakdowns while this was on, pretty cool man.

Who needs ILM when you have Sierra Online

unknown_poo · 3 months

For some reason it reminded me of Commander Keen or the old Duke Nukem (back when it was good).

niknarcotic · 3 months

You can watch Star wars IV via telnet, too. just enter telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl into your console. If it doesn't work install the telnet-client.

Damnit, at least get the color of Luke's lightsaber and the blaster/laser cannons shots correct. Also, is that supposed to be Boba Fett?

Amateurs. F+.

For more star wars fun; Windows Key + R, type CMD- then type " telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl " without the commas in command prompt and enjoy!
