Watch Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope – in ASCII via Telnet

December 18th, 2009 - Fun

watch star wars ascii art

This is so incredibly silly I almost didn’t post it, but it’s Friday so what the hey…

Are you bored at school or work? Want to watch Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope discretely? We’ve got you covered, thanks to a fully rendered ASCII version of the movie that you can access with Telnet via your command line, all you need to do is launch the Terminal and type:
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

Now sit back and enjoy Star Wars, in ASCII art, subtitled and all. I’ll be very impressed if you can get through the entire thing! This works on any platform with a telnet client, so if you’re stuck in 1993 with Windows 3.11 as long as you have a telnet client your life can be saved with A New Hope.

I remember this! I think it went offline a while back, it’s nice to see it’s still around.
