ASCII Star Wars movie

Just about every computer has a terminal window of some sort that allows using the telnet command, and just about nobody uses telnet anymore. But now you can put telnet to good use, but wasting time with a fun ASCII version of the original Star Wars movie. Just get you terminal prompt and enter this command.

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

The movie will start by itself, that's all you have to do. I can't even image how long it would take to do something like this. It contains the entire movie including motion (of a sort).
