Someone with way too much time on their hands (Star Wars related)

Telnet to:

towel.blinkenlights.nl

And enjoy.

That's neat. Question: is it the ENTIRE movie? I don't know if I can hold out that long

I believe it IS the entire movie. I haven't managed to hold out past where Luke meets Obi-Wan.

I kinda like it, got to point where they found Obi-Wan then the text started comeing up too fast for me to read...

How do you make such movies?

I got a little past where Luke was training with his lightsaber with the blindfold. My friend says he's going to watch the entire thing though. May the force be with him =)

Ok, he finished it. He says it ends after the death star scene where they split up, and then it says "To Be Continued..."

It's actually kinda cool but you're right... too much time on someone's hands.

Yup, same guy. At least, I suppose, he does something with all of the time on his hands. I just stare off into space. Just think what I could have accomplished by now....

Hmmm...maybe I should build that Viking ship...
