First, you need to download a tool called Telnet. Telnet is a command-line tool that allows you to access servers, websites and other remote systems over a network. You can download it from the Microsoft website or by using the apt-get command in Linux.
Once you have Telnet installed, open your command prompt by typing “cmd” in the search bar on your Windows computer, or by opening the Terminal app on your Mac.
Type in the following command and press enter:
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
This command is a reference to an Easter egg in the original Star Wars movie. The phrase “towel.blinkenlights.nl” is a tribute to Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and by typing this into your command prompt, you are accessing a Star Wars movie that has been converted into ASCII art.
If it’s the first time you are connecting to this server, you will be prompted to accept the SSL certificate. Type “y” to accept it.
After accepting the certificate, the Star Wars movie will start playing in your command prompt. It will take a few seconds to start, but once it does, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
The ASCII art version of Star Wars is a unique and fun way to watch the movie. It’s not as high-quality as the standard version, but it is a great way to enjoy the movie in a different way.
It is important to note that this Telnet server is not an official Disney or Lucasfilm product. It is run by a third-party individual who converted the movie into ASCII art for fun.
In conclusion, watching Star Wars through your command prompt is a fun and unique way to enjoy the franchise. With just a few simple steps, you can watch the ASCII art version of the movie from the comfort of your own computer. Just remember to download Telnet and accept the SSL certificate before you start watching. May the Force be with you!
