Something super cool

[the_rock]

Hey guys,

Happy Friday 🙂

Not sure if any of you had ever seen this, but personally, I think this is very cool! I stumbled upon this while ago, but never really tried it, though considering it requires telnet service enabled on the PC. I obviously would not recommend watching this on your work PC, only home laptop or desktop or windows VM.

Below is the link and I also attached a video of the beginning. Its essentially Star Wars on command line. I apologize to all the "geeks" out there, because I had never seen any Star Wars movies myself, but I still find this really interesting : - )

Best,

Andy

There used to be an address you could traceroute to in order to see the crawl text from the original (Episode 4) Star Wars.
Sadly, this seems to have been discontinued.

That also sounds cool! Btw, hard to believe George Lucas is 80 years old, wow. I always confuse him with Richard Gere, cause they definitely look alike 🙂
