Watch Star Wars In Command Prompt
So, you might now be wondering how you can experience this for yourself. Let me run you through it. This relies on Telnet being active on your computer. Unfortunately this is not the case on most Windows PC’s. Luckily, it’s very easy to activate. Go to Programs & Features, Turn Windows features on or off, then scroll down, click on Telnet and click ok. Easy peasy.
So now that you have it ready, let’s start this masterpiece.
Hold down the Windows key and press R. Now type in CMD and hit enter. You now have an open command prompt window. Type (or paste) this command in “telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl” but don’t include the quotes. Hit enter and watch the glory of Star Wars unveil in front of your very eyes.
